Thanks to Swamp Rat for giving me some ideas on throttle cable recommendations.

I found a nice Lokar cable and bracket to use. I like it since it gives me the flexiblity to cut to size.

I also picked up a set of Proform valve covers to clean up the engine a bit. The originals have seen better days and I may end up changing the cam soon down the road along with the rocker arms. I got the tall covers.

I also scored some ARP bolts for the intake manifold, valve covers , and the carburetor.

It's been nice getting these parts from pepboys for 25-30% off using their online coupon.

I'm trying not to spend a lot of money to get this truck running for cheap.

The challenge I've given myself is to get it on the road for cheap with out sacrificing quality parts. I tend to go all out when it's not necessary, so this will be fun!


I sent the old victor jr intake to my uncle to have him tig weld to build up a hole and retap on the coolant flange. Waiting on that to come back so I can get back to work.
