78 2wd.

[1976K5CHALET]

Well...got laid off from the patch 2 weeks ago so i decided a break was in order before i got after looking for a new job.....

So far i have manged to finish an 83 CJ7 crate 350-700R4-Dana 300 swap.
Actually the swap had been done...but rather poorly so she got a crate tbi motor and Advaced Adapters motor mounts so the motor sits in the frame correctly....po was a moron and just cut a hole in the firewall to get the dizzy in the motor. After the meat and potatoes was done i had to hand rewire everything from the firewall out...but she looks good and sounds even better.

Anyways i have been tinkering with my 78 2WD K5 here and there. Had to replace the dizzy vacum pot...cap-rotor-plugs-wires etc. Still hasn't cured the stumble off idle but i flushed the cooling system tonight and backed her in dry so i could swap hoses etc. And i decided to yank the carb and vat it....so hopefully she'll be running better than ever shortly. And i might get a bug in me arse and keep the running 78....rust spots and all. It looks like the front fenders are done...but i have spares...along with the mid way taco'd hood. She'll need rockers...and some work above the wheel wells due to the chrome molding and behind the rear wheels...but so far she is kinda clean other than that. Currently have her on stands in the shop to take a peek underneath while i am at it.



For you older members...sry for the lapse in being around but the oilfield equals lots of money but no down time...

So...anybody have some used drop parts laying around that might be ava since she's in the air? Lol.
