Did I say the mechanicals were almost done last august? Well here it is damn near next august and the thing is ready to go down and get plates & tags. While I was at it I replaced the broken gov-lock for a peg-leg, new ring & pinion, new front bearings & brakes, new aluminum radiator, heck its almost a new truck again!
The truck has been named "Brewtus" because, I'll be honest, I love beer!
Still need to replace that ugly cracked up steering wheel.
Pulled the ol vac secondary holley off and decided it had to go, so I rebuilt a nice quadrajet which I actually pulled off my last truck, a 71 K20. It has great throttle response and idles super nice. Once I pulled the carb I saw it had a single plane intake, so I pulled that in favor of an edelbrock performer.
