Re: New here, And would like to introduce myself
Welcome, yes you seemed to have gotten a good deal. The headlight could be as simple as being burned out, use a multimeter to test the bulbs. The master cylinder is a good first step, but purge the brake lines as well, lord only know is the fluid (if any) is gummed up. MAKE DARN sure you have a proper rated jack, she much heavier than out standard trucks.
Seal the carb well (double bag and plastic wrap) give the engine a good spray down on degreaser and let soak for a few hours then use a pressure washer (hot water washer if you can find one), you'll find a jewel under the all the dirt and grease. THe spark plus they are on the intake side and deep-well design, so make very sure you blow ALL the water out.
Before trying to drive, change the engine oil, and filter if you have that option.
1 step at a time and you'll be rolling soon, congrats.
