Finally had to bite the bullet

[donthekawguy]

My lifter issue came to a head a few weeks ago. I was heading to a meet and the cam went flat. I limped it home and decided I should do some major work. I took off the front clip due to needing to pull the motor and trans, the drivers inner fender was all cut up by the PO, I want to Lizard Skin the bottom and lower half of the firewall and need to rewire the whole truck. The PS pump is painted blue as is the alternator so that will be fixed. The radiator support was not even bolted in and has a crack on the bottom but no rust. I will be getting new PS lines and clean and paint to frame and firewall while it's apart. The motor will be resealed and a new cam put in and maybe alum. heads if I can afford it. Also I'm going with an OD Trans. I hope to have the motor and trans out by tomorrow and will start cleaning things up for paint. The motor work will happen this winter so no big rush. Heres some pics of where I'm at right now.
