1983 K5 trail truck/dd/ R.I.P. 03/14/18

I'm just glad Chris was able to go get you. It's time for another pull truck...
 
My girls used to tell me to "just go to that box on the wall and get some money". It's that easy.
 
There are some 5 gal gas cans on a rack next to where the car trailer usually sits, your welcome to go get gas with them but I don't want your old watery gas. :D
 
Not yet, I'll get them Friday after I get paid lol. I'm hoping to just get it back fired up and off your trailer tomorrow.

And maybe spray the mud out of the interior lol
 
I suppose I'll update my shame since I have a plan lol.

So apparently water inside an engine induces rod knock.....

I got an engine off craigslist that I'm going to toss in while this one gets a rebuild.

I got the heads back from the machine shop the other day for the clist engine, so after I get paid next week I'll regasket it, and put a new oil pump in and install it.

I also got my new S.M.I qjet right around the time it died, so that will go on the clist engine as well.

Got the new/used engine back into a long block. Had the heads redone. Took it back to @nvrenuf driveway to stab it in today before I go back on night shift tomorrow....
Found out they use a different flywheel on the newer blocks with a one piece rear main. So it all sits and waits till next week.

I was just telling Kristina I really need to get that engine and stuff.....

So the newish engine runs pretty decent. I haven't had a properly functioning carb in quite a while.

Lots of little bugs to chase down still, but hey it was a fun day.

I honestly can't thank @nvrenuf enough for letting me crash his driveway and bum stuff!

Ain't no big deal, just glad it's running good and stronger than the old motor. Still waiting on the big smoker burn out video! :burnout:
