Re: Under hood mod.

If it's oily spray it down with de-greaser. Then pressure wash it . Done shoot the distributor or the carb. Then see what your starting with. Clean looking truck on the inside. Got anymore pics?

Re: Under hood mod.

Depends on what you consider "mess". Are you talking about removing clutter, or degreasing/cleaning?
