So here is some pictures of my progress. This has taken me a little bit longer than I wanted to but I went on vacation and also had other stuff I had to attend to. Here is some pictures of my engine with fresh paint and also some of the frame rails with new paint. I just painted the engine bay frame rails and didn't do under the cab or under the bed. I will do that later but wanted to get this thing on the road before the winter weather hits here in Oregon. There will probably be some snow but I am ready with my 4x4. I will be putting some new wheels and tires on the truck before the bad weather hits so that will get me some better traction. I don't really want to lift it so I will probably go with some 16inch allied wheel company daytona wheels and Dick Cepek Mountain cat tires in a 285/75/16. Any one else running this tire size?
Oh well, at least it will look nice.
But the engine will go in soon. I will put in new torque converter on friday (day off) and also a new tranny input shaft seal, power brake booster and master cylinder while I am in there. It is well on it's way to a great daily driver. Some one please answer my emissions sticker question. Where does it go?
