Re: 49 3600, s10 swap, project boogie

I want to cut it down, so you probably will too, but its not uncomfortable. its lower than the stock seat but I feel like I am all upstairs.

went and got some gas. the filler was overflowing when I put the first gallon in and the internet said the evap valve was plugged. I pulled it loose and blew through it and viola, fixed. I went for a very dark cruise haha.



notice that it is facing the opposite way, this is the first time I didnt have to grunt my fat ass to push spin the truck around in the driveway. quite a moment. I let it get warm and gave it the beans, it runs like a swiss watch. I must have been quite a sight, no door, no bed, no lights except runners, wild eyed.

when I got back I had enough euphoria left to flip the carcoal canister. funny story, since I swapped frames from an 03 to an 84, obviously it didnt have the mounting holes for the charcoal canister, so I held it where the lines looked right and drilled holes. then I looked at putting the bed on and realized it stuck up way to far and the bed would need a brace cut and some more work on lowering the canister as much as I could. well, when I was looking at the cleaning instructions for the evap valve, I noticed I put the thing on upside down. so I drilled a couple new holes, wow look at all the room now


must be something in the water, get out your fishing rods and spoon lures, I am a doom bass.

might get the bed on tomorrow, and the drivers door, although I like having the door off to do all the trim and wiring so maybe not yet. I looked pretty seriously at wiring the headlights while the wheels were off, but I need the three prong harnesses.
