Re: Top Mods List?

Thanks for the link.

Both of my 1 tons are single rear wheel setups. The '87 is turning into my DD, and the '86 will probably be sold/traded when the '87 is done. Here are some pics...

First arrival:






New motor:


Motor is in. The PO had some really bad gas that killed the motor. It ended up bending a push-rod and then because of all the chemicals he added to the fuel everything turned to a red sticky gel. So after we pulled and tossed the tank, carb, tank switch valve, and blew out all the lines with very high pressure and the fuel system is working again minus one tank.

When I put on the headers, I discovered that my AC bracket won't mount around the headers I installed, so my power steering pump is vibrating and I can't mount my AC pump. Any suggestions on how to modify this to work? I am looking for a serpentine setup or hot-rod v-belt set now. I did find a cool old LUND visor for it. That will go on this week. And I would like to find a gas and tach gauge to put into my cluster, but am having trouble locating a set that I know will work.

Any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Clear skies,
John
