Nice truck too!

welcome -

With all that empty space in your barn, you will have 5-6 projects in there soon.

Yeah, I would love to add a 69 Camaro Z28, but sadly, the barn is now full of hay

Temp gauge sender

jessemthompson · 06-04-2015, 07:05 PM

Looking good

GASoline71 · 06-04-2015, 07:55 PM

Looks nice!

One thing I will caution you on is that Edelbrock "Pro-flo" air cleaner., One back fire through the carb with a decent flame up through there and it will catch that foam insert on fire.

Ask me how I know... I almost lost a 1971 CJ-5 to fire because of that exact thing.

Thanks for the heads up, Gary. I was planning on replacing that anyway. I actually bought it because it was cheap and I needed to keep the dirt out on the drive home

I don't know what brand it is. Probably not the highest quality, but it works. Bought it on eBay. $219.
