Looks like a truck that I nearly bought out of Lakeway (The Hills) a few years ago. Snoozed a day too long and it was gone. Wondering if it’s the same one.
If not leaving as-is, go with powder coat for durability. There are also convex mirror heads that look much like the rectangular OEM variety that I’ve got on my truck.
I can’t see where you 12v switched is coming in from for your DUI. But, this connection, pink wire in pic, is 12v switched for the DUI. That connection is a single point failure. Easy to confirm or deny as a prospect culprit for your issue.
Appreciate the suggestions, I checked hoses and distributor and all seem fine. It’s a ‘76. A little black inside the carb. but kind of expected that after this morning’s fun. Unfortunately can’t check timing since it won’t fire.
Left the house to take the 40 to Coffee & Cars this morning , but only got about 1/2 mile away before it started running rough as hell, really low on power, and back firing through the carb about every 5-10 seconds. Made it back to the entrance...

I agree with the assessments here. This is a nicely hot-rodded 40 that’ll do well at Barrett-Jackson. The cruiser nerds here aren’t looking for this style of truck for this asking price.
The bezel is asymmetrical top and bottom with the thicker...
