How Does This Happen?
Well what started as changing the oilpan gasket turned in to a complete make over. You know how it goes one thing lead to another so I pulled the motor out repainted it and added new alum. valve covers & breather / alum. pulleys/ alum. water pump/ alum. timing chain cover/ EDEL. intake w/the PEMASTAR finish/ alum. air cleaner/ new harmonic balancer/ alum.water neck/ new chrome alt./ powdercoated all the brackets black/ new Dynomax ceramic coated headers/ all ARP s/s hardware.. What do you think?

If this is what happens when you change a pan gasket I can't wait until you rebuild the motor. What happens when you wash it?

that's one helluva oil pan gasket job. Damn nice looking truck BTW. I'b buy you a plane ticket too, but all you'd have to do is set out to change the oil, I'd be curious to see how far you went with that.

It's amazing how much stuff has to come off just to get that darn pan off
Looks great.Aluminum is a nice touch IMO.

The original question was: Why does this happen?
The answer: Because your addicted. Now suck it up, take another dose, and... don't it fell better to be in a support group that shares your addiction? 12 step my @ss, I wanna build these trucks!!! |

Looks great. I know how you feel. My latest project started as a small block to big block swap and has ended with the truck being completely torn apart, painted and put back together. And I was one of those who said I would never, ever do something like that!

That's okay. From the looks of your truck, it deserved it.

Thanks for the kind words. It was fun too go all out on the motor, I debated for awhile on it and I'm very happy with results! I've had this truck for alittle over 12 years and do not regret any of the time and money spent on it at all. Now I've got to figure out whats next on the list maybe new brakes will lead to a 3.5"/5" drop......
Thanks John

I am showing the wife your original post. She was asking me why I ended up taking the seat out yesterday, when I started the day just wanting to pull the carb off.
Common sense, right? If no carb, it aint going anywhere, so no seat needed. Might as well clean up th cab floor. Simple as that. Now she will at least be glad I left the oil pan gasket alone! BTW, Awesome truck. Heck of a job!

LOL..........I showed the post to my wife, too..........She says we're all sick........then she said "you're the guy who bought a truck to go to the dump........then you put an overdrive automatic in it..........then AC............then you took a set of wheels and had them polished........all for a truck to go to the dump in. She still doesn't get it, huh?
