Do you have pictures?

Post #80 was when I started to clear everything in front of it, and it only took 3 months or so to get it out, lol. I didn't take pics, and the fronts are already given to the guy. I have an old pic on this site somewhere, but I can post it again, lol. Anyway, from sitting the underside has rusted pretty good. Plans are to rebuild the truck again, remove the body lift, and go with a bit smaller tire than the 36's. Hoping to install a ZF5 sp. behind a built 400 with EFI. (gave up on the 5.4L idea)

Waterpump is leaking, STILL have a miss, oil is leaking at front of intake some damn where, rear end is whining but full and with a full tube of additive, and my transmission won't get me 1/2 mile down the road.

You know why it's giving you problems?

It's a Flareside.

Poor truck probably hates itself more than you hate it. A simple 6 3/4 style side bed swap might ease it's pain.

Oh yea, and the AC clutch is trashed......it's ok...the compressor is not right for the truck anyways.....Tracking down a 4wd 5 speed right now, when I swap that I'm gonna redo the exhaust, no idea what I'm gonna do about the rear end,gonna fix the oil leak when I replace the injectors (I think they're the cause of the miss and I want the Exploder ones anyways) I'll get around to the water seepage sometime....

Moved it closer to the tool shed, investigated why my dash is loose. Started talking to folks about my goodies, even put in an order today. :)

I replaced the rubber fuel hoses by the gas tank. They were starting to feel soft and I figured I'd fix it before they leak.
