Haven't been doing much work on the truck. Did get a new heater/ac assembly for under the hood and just need to replace the heater core and all the little tubes in the dash. The main project is working on the jet boat with the 454 and getting that running.

so i have this mysterious oil leak i just replaced the oil pan gasket and still leaks. I have the timing cover gasket and that is going on next. But what i have noticed is it's also leaking off the back of the engine crossmember... where could it be coming from??

well I moved 200 miles from my parents with my sister and I had been gone for 5 months and the truck made the journey hauling a boat and did great from what my dad said with a dirtbike and lots of stuff in the back and got 10.5mpg with the brand new carb on it heres a couple pictures didn't go much over 60 cause of it running at almost 3000rpm

Little more Progress I got some body work done on the drivers door and Painted the front clip and cab Red oxide primer and next is to weld the trim holes up and fix the big dent in the back in the next couple weeks.. and got a new air cleaner to match the valve covers

Back to work on it well i got some parts for it at least. I managed to finally find a dana 60 coil spring housing and a dana 60 donor axle with 3.54's and a posi all for 300 bucks the coil spring housing is nice and painted as you can see so in the next few months i will be getting good gas mileage (well better then now).On the other hand it is now all red and i put the old flowtech mufflers back on. I just wanna find a good sounding muffler that is not too loud but still sounds good and i figured out my hot start issue by putting on a remote solenoid kit and adjusting the timing heres some pictures
