Lots of cleaning, putting, and new parts!
Hours and hours of polishing the aluminum brackets...
All new suspension, almost every piece underneath the truck is new...
Triple coated and painted tank and lines...
New bed steps and undercoated (herculined) bed bottom.
More new parts!
My nephew works at an automotive machine shop and did the motor for me at cost
Bored 30 over, flat tops, shaved heads, double roller, mild cam... Probably won't help a lot, but I ported and polished the TBI with new injectors added
I had to fab a bracket for the alternator to clear the tall cover, and I turned the back of the alt 30 degrees...
Found a decent core support without much rust at the boneyard and had it powder coated...
First start vid:
Lots of body work and panel, rocker and door replacement, now going out to finally get painted!
Currently, I'm fabbing up a prototype air box for a functional shaker hood scoop....
