Picked this up about a week ago, its headed to a shop is SC to get health check. It runs but hasnt been driven in about 5 years. She is a 1971 with a 2f swap, named Zeppelin after Zeppelin's 1971 untitled album.

I just checked in here and your title grabbed me - great name for a Pig!!!
A Pig could resemble an airship - just make sure she does not end up looking like this:
I was just listening to In My Time Of Dying this morning,
I will tell you this - owning (and working on) a Pig can best be summed up by this song:
And hard to beat the Nuclear Assault version:
When I am not listening to Barry White, I listen to Zeppelin. Oh Yeah...
Nice! What's your plan for it? That was the color of my 71.

Hopefully to eat it running/stopping and drive it. Slow the rust where I can, but mainly just drive a cool old cruiser
I like the "eat it running /stopping" part. I've always wanted to try that. Tell us how that works out.
You have the right idea, keep it simple. You will get more road miles (horizontal) that way vs. car lift miles (vertical).
Welcome to the world of adventurous moments. Enjoy with vigor (or Viagra), sorry can't remember which is better.

She’s a little tougher than I thought, maybe a little salt
Cool looking rig. Get it running and slow down the rust, is all we can ever hope for.

Yep. It looks perfect as is. It took a long time to get like that. Just washing it and covering it will slow that down for years

I have a bad slave cylinder and I want to replace the slave, return spring, and soft line from the firewall to the slave. It’s a 71 truck but has a 2f 4 speed swap. I’m having a hard time figuring out which spring I need
Looks like a (Dorman HELP! Spring Part # 29006) with the ends shorten and re bent.

Tried to get a look inside the tank but there is no way these screws are coming out. Drained the tank, about 10 gallons of the dark stuff. Put a fresh gallon in for about 20 minutes and it wasn’t too bad. Got the fuel pump out now just waiting on parts. Also Satin Jade got vetoed as a color option
