I'm not completely set on getting rid of my truck, so if you try to find this post in a day or so & it's not here that means I changed my mind & deleted.
I am discovering that I'm a pretty lousy mechanic. I rebuilt my carb & it didn't work out very well for me so now the truck sits in the driveway. I could spend a few hundred & get a new carb, but this truck is trying my patience. I've pulled the carb, rebuilt it, reinstalled it, truck wouldn't run. I swapped the carb between this truck & my wife's truck & replace the fuel pump & then both trucks run great. So I swap the carbs back & my truck runs for two days & then starts spewing gas out the top of the carb which was the initial problem. I was tempted to light a match, but didn't. ANyway, you've probably seen a few pics of my truck lately. I hate to type so I'm not going to try to give all the details unless someone asks. With a carb it runs but the motor is getting tired. Specs: 350 Sm465/205 3/4 ton axles 4.10 gears minimal rust in the normal spots 4" lift & 1" body lift The truck was originally an auto with AC. Other than the suspension, this truck is right on the fence as to if it would be better to go back to all original or go more towards the performance/off road side. Here's two pics. One before the roll cage was painted & one after but without the doors installed. I would be interested in a few different trades. The things that come to mind right now are: 69-72 SWB 2 or 4 wheel drive truck. I could go for either runs excellent & bad paint or barely runs & near flawless paint but no rust. a classic muscle car a 1 ton 4X4. meaning must have a D60 front that I can steal for my next 4X4 project but drive for now. others as well. just can't think of anything yet. |
