NICE! so a call to edelbrock direct (why mess around) led to different metering rods, helper springs, and since it wouldnt idle when in gear with AC on, a soleniod to up the idle. well then it wouldnt start when warm....edelbrock guy again....4 hole phelonic spacer to cut down heat....set timing back to 12....ladies and gentlemen, i think we have a winner...finally!!!

ok, while im pumping fist fulls of cash into this grand ol guy, what the hell...why not do the tires and lift. so 33x15x12.5 Goodyear Wranglers and then a Tough Country 2.5" suspension lift (quad front shocks). now ill add the whip antenna and eventually roll bar and then i should be good.

my biggest issue right now? found a spare tire mounting setup in the salvage yard and set it up, tire doesnt sit under there tight tho...itll move or roll a bit....WTF!?! while i was looking in the yard i did see a truck with the bumper stops on and in good shape, so i stole them for $25 too while i was at it. i've also fabricated a whip antenna mount for the cb so when that all gets done ill share more pics....

Sweet truck! Yeah show pictures when you get the whip on it
My K5 has its ears on too. The crappy cobra cant get out very far but it will pick up people from california, flordia, canada, new jersey, etc...
That's about as high as I could mount it and stay under the 14' legal limit.
