The second set of intake bolts I've painted for the same truck

Brushed on Por-15 engine paint. The pic. aint worth a (&^)^, but it brushes on super.............. Wish I could use the originals bolts, 9 of the 13 bolts I need are original round top flange "M" bolts. A very cool bolt. But I prefer they all match, so these are NOS with a regular head flange "M" bolts. Only $20-25 for the set.

That's not all I did............

I'm out for a load of new OER/OEM parts to build this thing, and I received a bunch. They sent the wrong leaf spring shackles, E-brake cables, leaf spring bolts, and the wrong fuel pump to carb tube. The front coils are wrong too, and they're banged up anyway.

Oh sure, "the build end will be so easy", I can barely start. Can only imagine what it takes to build a mod.
