1986 3+3 4x4

Picked this up last June and have been working the bugs out as I drive.

292/sm465. You can see the slight forward rake in the profile pic. Ride was a little rough…took me a couple weeks to figure out it was riding on the shocks . Found some 4” front springs to get that sorted out.

Checking out a tick coming from the engine and found what looked to be a push rod that had been “customized” with a grinding wheel and a loose rocker that had been wearing out the top of one of the valves.I swapped in another pushrod and decided it would be a good idea to take it up the mountain on our family vacation. Two bent pushrods later I had it sorted out…until I plugged the pvc and blew out one of the remaining non leaking gaskets…..
