No sir, I've bought a edalbrock air cleaner that matches valve covers but may run something else. I was hoping to drive on power tour but it may end up trailered if I come with it

Re: Project "Irvin"


To be honest I have a salary job and if we are slow I work in garage and if we are busy I order parts and sell parts while traveling. I clean gas and diesel tanks all over the east coast and some in Midwest so when I'm home I'm either spending time with my family or in garage, looking like a lot of garage time being my daughter is traveling the the entire summer with grandma

Update

Today I scored nos tail light trim, headliner trim, tailgate banner, stainless vent shades and stainless drip rail trim all new in boxes and packaging. And yesterday I was able to clean out some old parts to make room for new ones coming. Hope to make some major progress next weekend if not late in the week

Re: Project "Irvin"

Are you going to install AC in your truck? I was looking at your alt. and I was thinking to myself. Will it be in the way of the compresser? If you are going the AC. I thought about it and I put the alt on the drivers side. Just thinking ahead.

I am planning on installing AC, and I will either do a low mount compressor or sell the pulleys and brackets and run a different set up. But I've spoke to Old Air and they have brackets to mount low
