Edit-I'm not sure how, but I screwed this up first time around and lost most of the post, so here we go again. This is an ugly truck in more ways than one, just so anyone who looks is prepared. Feel free to laugh anyway.

Here's a couple of the truck itself. The truck is an 88 single cab with a 4" lift in the front and, at the time of this picture, a 3"lift in the rear.

This is an Edelbrock air/fuel ratio gauge that is about as old as I am. It works well though, and has been verified accurate by my Innovate setup. It is on any time the engine is running, looks cool, and is a distraction at times.

I ran the wire for the O2 sensor through an existing, and conveniently placed, hole in the floor.

My interior is obviously a little incomplete. I did make a completely new wiring harness, including speakers, for a radio. I will get around to installing the radio itself one of these days. The shifter was a temporary fix that grew on me over time.

The least ugly, if not only nice looking, portion of the truck lies under the hood.

I love the way this truck looks and drives. There is little I plan to change about it any time soon aside from tube bumpers front and rear. The ride height and tire size will likely stay the same for a while. I also plan to paint the truck all white later on this year.

I got the motor fired up on an MSD ignition box today. I haven't had a chance to drive it yet, but it idles better and revs as happily as it ever has at low rpm.





I intend to clean up the wiring and go run the piss out of it tomorrow. I also fixed the first post, I think. Hopefully all the pics work now.
