Apparently my dad (Raider Rudy) loves two barrel 2G carburetors. So he pulled this 283/327 four barrel intake and Edelbrock 1901 Quadrajet off his 68 GMC and gave it to me. Thanks, Dad!

My 327 actually runs pretty well with the 2G it has on it, but it leaks coolant from the intake manifold gasket so it has to come off anyway.



I also picked up some new taillight lenses from Truck Shop in Orange. They are exact replicas of the originals, even have the correct embossed text on them. At $50 a pair you get what you pay for. They also have replicas of the rear slider window latches for $65 a pair, in stainless steel. Hard to say how well that chinese stainless will hold up, but they're polished and look really nice.
Luckily for me, I don't need any. But others may be interested.







I know that these backup lights aren't in the correct location, lower down, but I'll probably leave them there.
