Just gotta figure out why the truck dies when you turn the headlights on..

Congrats! I'd say you've got a short in the headlight circuit somewhere. It could also be the alternator locking up.
 
i was thinking it was the alt. gotta test it though...

but its got the normal rust... started tearing it down today. for the price that I got, the amount of money that is gotta get it drivable its going to be worth it...
 
Just pull the drive belt off. Start and run long enough to turn on headlights.
 
I believe I saw it on a trailer over the weekend in Lincolnton. First thing I thought was "I bet someone's going to build that for some crawl'n!"
 
i picked it up saturday at about 3. torn it down yesturday... oh man!!! i gots some work to do now!!! new brakes all the way around plus wheel cylinders, pitman arm, 2 tires, t/stat... thats just to get it safe to drive.
