If I can just get the vapor lock issue solved when it gets warm. I'm not even turning on the A/C. I thought the cowl hood would help. It did but not enough. I routed the gas line differently, wrapped the line and a shield under the carb. I've heard that this was an issue with big blocks in these trucks..............

thirdstreettito · 06-19-2009, 11:59 AM

Some I have saved.

87 1 ton 4x4. Now has a cowl hood. Still having vapor lock issues on this one..........

**special-K** · 06-18-2009, 06:50 AM

Dean,that`s one fine machine,only better.
I wanted to buy one so bad in`87.I saw it was my last chance at a classic design.I never gave up hope until a friend got what appeared to be one of the last through a dealer search.Too bad I bought my house at the first of the year.That left me broke for a bit too long.i actually have my eye on his still.It`s in the hands of another friend now.Only a Custom Deluxe,but it`s a 454 truck,midnight blue.It was well used and would need a resto.
Nice truck,I`m jealous.
