Great updates on the truck man. I really dig your trim being 'patina' like it is, just adds that little bit of character it needs yet the paint is good. I like it.

That engine is sweet, your choices in mods for the engine are really unique and are coming together nicely. I can only hope my stage 2 of build will be even close to what your doing. Keep it up gringo.

Thanks a lot for the compliments and motivation. I wish this were happening under a less stressful timeline, but I’m happy to be getting her going.

As for the paint, it’s mildly distressed, done back before patina was cool. The trim was assembled from random parts purchased here on the board.

I’ve been looking at drop-in fuel pump assemblies for a while: The Boyd Welding setup that bolts in directly is $350, the Tanks Inc version is $220 and would still need to be modified to fit, and there are many other swanky billet high-flow options I’ve explored that either don’t meet my needs or are very expensive.

Instead of spending a bunch of money on things I don’t need, I decided to grab a genuine Walbro 340 and build my own assembly. So far, I’ve got about $120 in the whole business and have a custom fit for my needs pump and fuel pickup
