Re: Frankentruck
I also picked up a hood that was not as rusty at the back corners where the rear brace attaches. The front lip is still rusty, but the back is not, which is what mattered to me. Also it was cheap since I got it from the same guy who sold me the engine.
I also took a few pictures of how I wired in the electric choke. I wired it up to be run off the alternator field wire so that the choke only operates as long as the alternator is working properly. The field wire from the alternator triggers a relay which sends a full 12 volts to the choke coil. I could have just run it off of any fused 12 volt source, but I wanted to add the extra protection in case I turn the key on but don't start the truck for a while.
