Re: new from united kingdom
Truck looks good, not big fan of chopped tops but if that is what you like more power to ya! And throw that air cleaner away before it catches your whole truck on fire! those things are just a major engine fire waiting to happen!

Re: new from united kingdom
Welcome to the board from Western Kentucky. They are right about the filter you now have. The foam can catch on fire or just start falling apart and getting into the carb. The other picture you have is a good one for the carb. I spent my Sofmore, Junior and Senior years in England at Lakenheath Air Base American High School there. The information Krue gave you are all great places to find what you want and you will also find plenty of help on here. By the way-Nice truck!!! But if it was mine and it not being a four wheel drive, I would not have a roll bar on it. Just looks out of place on a two wheel truck. JMO
