Re: My 64 starting Blues
One step at a time my good man, get the battery charged, then see how it starts. You know it runs, as you witnessed it running, just need to get it started and solve the little issues as you go. If the battery is fully charged, and yous till have issues with it turning over, then you will need to disconnect clean, and re-install the batter cables, at both ends. Also, have a look at the power connections on the starter. Once you get it running, I would check the timing, and check for vacuum leaks before I started adjusting the carb. For $3 or $4 a PCV valve could quickly be ruled out as part of the problem. Pull out a spark plug, see how they look. When you get it running, run it at night and check to see that you don't have any plug wires arcing anywhere.
This is the fun of owning and working on one of these old trucks. From what pictures you have posted, $1200 to $1500 seems to be a steal.
Good luck, keep us posted.
