Re: New 2 Me Burb

So I haven't gotten much work done on the new project with all of the rain we've had. Since our business is 100% outdoors, every day dry enough to work has been a scramble. That, and the fact that my shop still has a dirt floor shared by horse stalls pretty much rules out working on stuff during rainy days...for me anyway. I have however been collecting some goodies. I found an '86 CUCV M1008 for sale cheap about 3 hours north of here. Who can resist 1 ton running gear with 4.56's and a Detroit locker in the rear? I know I can't! At some point the 6.2 was removed and a 350 dropped in it's place. The engine has a blown head gasket, but there's headers and an Edelbrock carb and Torker hiding under the rusty air cleaner worth salvaging. I'll be robbing the HEI for my build. The guy I bought it from had some cool projects going on including this sweet LS powered moredoor.
