Got a little side tracked over the summer. Was only able to work on her a half hour here a half hour there. But I said screw it and did a headgasket set and cleaned up a set of heads to make it work. I figure a truck running on 7 cylinders is better than a 2 ton paper weight. So with a lot of buffing, I got it started the other day.
Currently waiting on getting a fuel tank from TFS down in Lebanon and I need to mess with the carbinator.
She does run, fairly well, but I only have a carb full of gas at a time. Down side RPM is at 2500 and I have the Idle/Air mixture screw all the way backed out. But hey, it runs! And no rods through the block, yet.
Thought I should give an update. HAHA
I will get some photos later.
I also replaced the wood in the bed. I have a thought of making a vampire style wooden coffin as a spare tire carrier/ tool box. Partially dubbing the Project as Frankenstein since I just got it running before Halloween.
