That's a keeper right there.
I hope your health gets better and you find the perfect replacement!

Yes I would love to "keep her".. lol.. I am a cabinetmaker by trade.. The last 5 years has been literally dead.. So my dreams of making it a king cab have basically gone by the wayside. However I am an inventor too.. I have an invention coming to market very soon. It was actually put on sale at the Las Vegas hardware tradeshow at the beginning of Feb. If it takes off and starts bringing in some money, who knows maybe I will realize the dream some day. I love love love this truck.. and would love to completely trick it out. But we shall see.. I need something to happen monetarily as the cabinet industry is not coming back around yet, and since it died in 2007, I have had to sell off nearly everything I own to survive.. my guitar collection gone, guns, music equip. etc. etc.. The Med issue is a life long condition and is no cure. I got some rare disease called buergers.. the smallest blood vessels just die and they aint never coming back. Teh best I can hope for is to keep my limbs for the rest of my life.. Nearly lost my left leg up to the calf by amputation because of it.. Day before.. and I do mean the very day before I was going into the hospital to have the amputation the Good Lord decided to remove the swelling that had been there for nearly 13 weeks, and allowed enough blood flow to get through so the amputation was not necessary. Lost half my big toe to gangrene though, but hey,, not bad. So I thank the Father for that every day.. Thank you very much for your note. It meant a lot to me.. if you want to check out my invention you can go to www.doorjammer.net that is the website I built and put up to send perspective investors/licensee offers to view. Ended up getting a licensing deal 2 years ago and just now this month,, we are headed to market. Not available for actual sale as of yet because none in stock. But that should change in about 3 weeks.. All the best to you 57Napco..

Hey Chevy Chaser. The dual shift knobs.. one is for the transfer case. The other is a Lokar (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/lo...overview/)auto shifter used to control the 700r4 conversion. Mine is a 16" rather than the 8" shown in that link. Being my truck was a standard 4 speed with the granny gear, I never had a shifter on the column.. So I went with the lokar which has the detent and shift capabilities for the overdrive..
As far as the EFI.. It is all there.. The manifold is Edelbrock Aluminum with injectors on each cylinder.. Definately can't see that in the photos. The "computer" is mounted/installed behind the glove box. I bought a new glove box and modified it so the brain would fit. You would never know the box had been modified. The brain is sitting on top of the AC/heater blower box assembly and inbetween/underneath the firewall ledge installed inside of waterproof heavy duty plastic and foam rubber wrap to keep it isolated from heat/bumps and etc. http://www.partsgeek.com/ldg9knh-che...jection+System
MAN OLIVE. has the price gone up for this system.. yikes.. welp, just makes mine more of a deal.. lol.. thanks for looking and the questions..
And thanks 67-72trucks registered user.. It really is a very nice truck.. I love it.. everytime I drive it I WISH I had shorter legs, or legs without blood flow problems would be better yet.. lol

Is your truck still available? I know this listing is quite old, but if you still own it I would be interested.
Thank you
Nick
