sorry for the lag in updates, internet was too slow to load pages consistently, back up now, thanks cumcast.
The center console is just sitting there, not attached, but it stays in place nicely, not sure what kind it is, it came with the truck.
I drove it 200 miles home when i bought it with crappy, cooked spark plug wires and it made it home alright. it seems to run pretty well right now, i drove it around alittle yesterday and felt pretty good. I started to get a little wobble when braking hard though at around 35 mph, pry needs rebuild on the King pins. i also need to adjust the idle, which i wil get to today.
I think it will make the 800 mile trip but honestly it will cost some money to do it. it doesn't get very good mileage (under 8 maybe, i don't really know as i haven't driven it consistently to test it). it doesn't run hot at all.
The AC is there but doesn't blow cold air. I will get some pics of the engine bay today.
I also noticed yesterday that the pass side manifold donut is leaking a little.
