Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB

No big progress, but some. I dug out the engine for this truck the other day and I have 3 out of 6 rods and pistons cleaned up ready to go. I have a special project for an engine going in this truck. This will be the first time ever (as far as I know) this combo has ever been tried. I'm excited, this should make for a killer fuel efficient engine! So, parts are on the way for the engine, and work is being done on the engine. I ordered poly engine mounts today for it. I also ordered some DIY4X shackles for the rear. I have front u-bolts being bent locally for the D60, and am getting some bent so I can get a rear axle back under it to move it around for now. I also found some poly bushings for the front springs left over from my Longhorn. I have been trying to decide what fuel tank I want to use and I may try to put a 35 gallon dodge fuel tank in it. I have to measure tomorrow to see if it will fit. I also need to find a radiator for this truck too.
