Got It!
Friday,
Well, Friday night I got off work at 7:00pm to go pick it up. We worked on it for an hour then it started getting dark so we called it quits untill Saturday. What were we working on you ask?....well, first the battery was stone dead so we had to get a different one, then it was out of gas and needed to run to the station and get 5 gallons. Started right up...shes cold blooded so we let it idle for about 10 mins. All of a sudden their was gas running ALL over the passenger side of the fender.
These.....
When it had the engine fire it burned up some vacuum lines. Well the guy just pluged them all and figured that would be okay...wrong. Finally figured out where to put the vacuum line so it would stop leaking then it died again. Okay, this is when we decided to wait untill Saturday.
Saturday,
Went their at 9:00am and we called up AAA. They came and picked it up and delivered it to my house. (he had AAA+ so it was free)
We got the truck off and I figured what the heck, might as well see if we go tit right last night so I put in a different battery, pumped it once, ahhh...she purrs. Well I drov it down the road and back with no problems. After that I decided to take the hood off and start looking into re-wiring everything and figuring out all the vacuum lines. Thats how she sits now. I will be busy all this week and the next but hope to at least tinker with it here and their....

Well shy of drilling two more holes, I don't see any way a 6 hole rim will fit an 8 bolt truck. I was refering to 3/4 ton chevy, sorry for the confusion. As for the Ford rims fitting the half tons, I haven't paid much attention to the newer stuff, but the center holes were too small on the ford 5 holers as well. If we are speaking of stock steel wheels. But the 5ers from jeep used to fit.
