The motor looks good. I like the torch tip too. I have had my share of broken bolts too. Thanks for sharing.

Fortunately I dont break to many. It takes less time to remove one slowly than it is to break one off real quick.

This what the shortbed looks like that the guy has.

Got back on installing the front seats. after tring to precisely measure where to cut the floor to drop the hump a few inches. i gave up and just winged it. laid a piece of 1.5 tape around where it looked right with the eyeball and just cut that piece out. then folded it down making the floor flat who- hoo. thew the seat up in there and it is at the perfect ride height. unfortunately now there is a 1" in gap around the hole that i have to fill. next time I think ill only take out about 3/4 of a inch or so.









Now I dont know whether to try and make the piece work or just get a whole new piece of sheet metal and weld that in. I think I would have to mount some kinda bracing underneath new metal to give it some strength. what do you guys think? any sugestions

I dig! here is a pick of my 86 shortbed right now and what I want it to look like when its done. hopefully sooner than later.



been playing around with the wheels, I have already bought the gray ones, just not sure If I like them more or less than the black ones.

Black goes good with it, but the gray also makes a very good contrast that more likely turn heads if thats what youre trying to get.
