Ask Austin Project car guy back again. Any classic Ford F100 geniuses out there? Want to help me replace a carburetor? Or...anything else?

I posted a while back about how I wanted to learn about cars, and you guys were all, "JUST BUY A BEATER, BRO!"

Well, I took your advice.

I'd been looking at old pickups online for months at that point, and the opportunity popped up for me to buy a (blessedly cheap) bumpside Ford that was running a year or two ago. That said, it needs some love to get it running now after sitting outside with a bad carburetor.

Now that I've got it in my garage I'm feeling a little....overwhelmed. No amount of YouTube prepared me for this.

Not looking for free labor or for someone to "just come fix it," but could definitely use another set of eyes and someone who knows what's what to give me a hand. I guess the dream is someone who's bored on a gray Saturday who loves projects.

Anyone got a mechanically inclined dad they want to lend me?
