1991 slow pickup build

I have owned this truck since I was 15, when I got the truck the PO had bought it new and the last three years before I got ahold of it, it sat in his garage. It only had 68,000 miles and was in great condition. Drove it for my teenage years and loved it, it did have it's issues though, my oil pump went out and then my headgasket too! 1200 later I was back on the road, then most recently, now this is before I ever had any experience working on my truck, I had a friend change the thermostat and when he was pulling the housing he sheared a bolt off in the intake manifold, I let him fix it since I didn't know anything, he drilled and tapped it and we I went to start it, nothing, it was completely seized, it ended up being he had drilled to deep and right into my the intake port for my first cylinder, ugh so at this point I took my
Truck to a shop that I could use and decided to learn something by working on it myself, ever since then I havent stopped, I'm excited to make it a reliable trail and camping rig and DD,
