I looked at the wrecking yards around here and have not found a like year 454 that's not been picked over.

Appreciate any/all assistance.

No problem but it will be a few days until i can get to the truck to take pics but ill take off air cleaner and get some good ones for you

[highperf4x4]

I doubt that. John's probably right though. Most of my experience is inside the engines.

[scotts62]

Got the manifold off today to try and fix it..

[highperf4x4]

What was wrong with it?

[scotts62]

Has a couple bad crackies.....

[JohnC]

Don't bother fixing it, just throw headers on it.

[wildmanaaron]

That's what I'm saying. Ceramic coated headers would look awesome but of course $$ is my problem too!

Did you ever think about back halfing your crew cab? Taking the rear frame off of the shortbed truck underneath the rear part of the cab so that the shortbed gas tank would definately work. I looked at a 1/2 Ton 4wd rear frame tonight and I think the frame rails are the same size. I need a battery for my micrometer or I would have really gotten some good measurements!

Yeah had that tossed up too but now im just down to the gas tank and if i have to move a bracket or two its no biggie, hell at this point that would be the easy part

[Inverter]

Looks good! So now its officially a short box crew?

Thanks!!

Yep, just have some loose ends to tie up

[scotts62]

Dont know if i ever poster any pics of my 83 or not.. kinda cool i came across these pics so figured i would share

[highperf4x4]

That's a pretty slick truck. Too bad you had to sell it. Priorities can be tough sometimes!

[scotts62]

Yeah i know..
i had an old Oriellys delivery Nissan truck that i lowered and put 6 lug chevy wheels on and a guy at the votech i went to had that truck and it didnt run, he gave me $500 and the 83 for the Nissan, i went over there to get it (only saw pics) and he had the distributor out in the floor board, turns out he was doing a tune up and pulled the distributor who knows and i just basically finished what he had started and drove the truck home and he wasnt too happy about that but titles were signed and it was too late.

It was red and was missing most of the interior, i went to pull-a-part and scrounged up all i needed and sold it for 4200 i think.. its been a few years back

[highperf4x4]

sometimes it works that way!

[JohnC]

I agree with Travis that was a pretty slick truck man! Now we just need to get you back over to the square body side.

[scotts62]

maybe one of these days

[TimE]

Aw heck, Scott, what difference would one more project make?
