Re: Carolina K10, 1979 Reg cab short bed.

I wasnt intentionally trying to go through that hole but my front tire slid in and I figured I would go all the way... If I had reverse gear, and a higher rpm motor I might have been able to back up when I first slid in.


Drove the truck home and parked it for the night. Two days later I drove to the carwash and when I stopped smoke started pouring out of the engine bay. Popped the hood and found oil all over my passenger valve cover, head, and pan towards the rear of the vehicle. Only happens when I stop...

The game plan is, limp it to the shop next week so they can install the new rims, limp it back to the house, pull the transmission, pull the motor. Rebuild the transmission, and go through the motor resealing it and reinstalling it if its good. Hopefully, time and money permitting, it will be done in a month in a half.
