Looks really good.. Cant wait to see it lowerd and dont give up! everyone runs into issues, Ive got my own problems on my 82 gmc swb my frame is bent I'm just gonna scrap the frame. Just gotta keep going a little bit at a time it will pay off in the end.

i didn't even notice that i got a 88 ranger in my back yard and im hatting it just because i have to work on it for a friend...btw y did you go with the single light? like it better?

[zackary027]

i like the plastic turn signal im thinking of put some new model lights on it somehow

[87 chevy silverado]

im not fond of the single head lights but on that truck it looks good

[zackary027]

nothing is in stone with mine yet im sure it will change a few times

[87 chevy silverado]

BLASPHEMY!

j/k, love your truck so far, i got a "thing" for stepsides

and i was just thinking how unique it would look with the newer style headlights/grill and stepside bed.

[zackary027]

not much done lately trying my hand at body work on one of my doors. do have an issue of when i turn my truck off after getting hot it floods when i turn it off and let it sit for 10 or so min i have to hold the gas to the floor to crank it back up. brand new carb, just picked up a new fuel pump with a return line maby this solves my problem

[76stepsidechevy]

You might try putting a phenolic spacer under the carb, the gas boils right out of the carb when they get hot.

[zackary027]

yea ive heard that one also im going to try my fuel pump first then a spacer after that

[zackary027]

fuel pump didnt work guess ill try the spacer now

[zackary027]

well the spacer worked my truck no longer floods
