you typed that at 12:01am...is that tomorrow today, or tomorrow tomorrow? :o


you got the right attitude...it's like putting together a puzzle---a puzzle with a torque wrench.  You'll get great satisfaction of doing it yourself too, and drive it with pride.

Sweet, like said before, there is something about doing it yourself that makes it so much better later on when its cruising down the road.

Two things, get rid of that edelbrock carb and then toss that POS flex fan before it comes apart and takes out the radiator.

That's where that big honker of a box for the a/c and heater goes... This truck was in process of being a frame off resto.. It used to be a 2wd longbed. The guy took off the body, chopped the frame, powdercoated it, all new body mounts etc and so on. So there is no rust on my truck anywhere, it's nice! So I guess he took all that stuff off, i dunno.. But I have that big black box thats sposed to go there... LOL

I will keep yall posted  :)
