whoo hoo, New meat from Oregon

Postby ace of shades » Fri May 28, 2010 9:18 pm

The first truck I ever had was/is a 2wd 80 D50. I Sold my first car, a 71 super beetle to my dad, and bought the "reliable shit box" from my brother-in-law. That little truck has been with me through hell and half of Georgia, and made it back. Since then i have owned a 88 Mighty max 4x4 (rod through the block) a 86 parts dodge, 83 4x4 (ate the tranny) and now my 84 cab with a 86 vin tag ( Don't ask me, I don't know either) 4x4 that is in the process of a engine rebuild, and a "half assed" restoration.

I'm in the auto body industry, got my self a neat little paper from WyoTech but have been into the rods, customs, and offroad seen ever since I could remember

It's been a while since I posted on here. Honestly forgot I was a member until I started searching for weber info. So I guess its about time to post up some pictures and an update

After research it seems I need to get a block off plate and then use a electric fuel pump for the weber

Looks good, is that a 2.6L? The reason I ask is it looks completely diffrent than mine especially in the engine bay.

It is a good ol 2.6. I don't know what all has been done in the engine bay, the only thing I know that I have done was pull the radiator and add 5 power wires off the battery. Once I get it back up and running I have to go through the wiring due to the P.O or the previous, previous owner giving it his own touches.

Email is right and everything is set up. The reason I didn't get any PM messages was because they were going into the spam box and getting trashed. As far as moving the thread its fine, I was going to hop over there and do a full list of the build up :handgestures-thumbsup:
