Using a proven wheeling truck with another driving truck, plus more parts.
Oh, and the bent one will hassle me for no pics, but the roof of the cab is black again, and the new windshield got installed while it was easier to reach.
Nice!
1. It will be injected
2. I got nothing
So his son made the adapter to replace the warped TBI/4v that was on it, so no cost. Will be TBI injection
He just bought new heads. Since it *may not* stay TBI injection, he didn’t want to invest money on that intake
Didn't you notice the TBI unit in the pic?
And what intake would work with old style heads, flow better than a factory TBI intake, and as @Bent77 said, leave me with options down the road?
I didn't even bother to look since my son, who has been working at a fab shop, said I can make that!
And he did it in 3 days, only working during break time!
But I put a carb on mine...
Yeah, I think beags got the wrong thread. He needs to be over in the Bent77 thread harassing that guy about EFI.
Nothing to see here....
I kinda stroked the chassis this week...
I pulled the body off EVERY night until this week, until I finally put bolts in Thursday night about 9:00.
The triple sticks fit with just a 5"x 6" hole.
I massaged the floor enough with a hammer to clear the rest of the shifter bracing.
The boom matt that @mrk5 posted a link to in his thread, is installed! That was some work! I am not sure how Scott did it with the trans installed.
The body has all of the front bolts in, even with the challenge of this previously wrecked body.
I wanted to concentrate on making it run today, but I had too many things that I need to do otherwise.... still do....
And still no list of what need to happen.....

Well I got a surprise this morning when @500$k5 and my son showed up to help me again!!!!
It is shocking how much time it takes to put a truck back together, vs tearing it apart. But we are trying to make sure that what we do, goes as far as possible to make it reliable. So I only took this pic of the engine. But it was neat to see all of the space around the starter made possible by these headers.

Oh man, that’s good progress. I’ll have to buy them a beer for helping out
Well Pat drinks about 2 beers a year, and my son won't touch any, even though he's 20! He follows the law..... ironic ehh???
I don't drink beer often, but when I do, I drink Blue Moon. LOL
Nope! I didn't go work on it today, but I did spend the day with my wife, while I let my crappy knee rest.
@Bent77 has been on me to make a list...
I have to finish the cooling system, heater hoses, radiator, fan shroud. ( compensate for the 1" body lift)
Set rear pinion angle, pull axle to weld perches.
Front shock towers, and all 4 shocks.
Power steering and trans coolers.
Get the drag link and tie rod, then install.
Install ram.
Install flooring and reinstall the interior.
Finish brake system.
Finish exhaust..
Test fit, weld up and install front bumper.
And other stuff...
Time is running short!
