Sounds like the previous owner was a real renaissance man...adapt and overcome at all costs. Looks like it will be a sweet little working ride when you are finished. Be sure and check all the vacuum hoses/lines under the hood, then maybe seafoam the engine...topend and crankcase...next time you do an oil change.

Nice looking truck. I have the same year and model as you do but mine is painted red with the nasty porno red interior.

I would like to put buckets and console in but I keep looking for a blue one so I can just put it in

Finally found my blue counsel, the truck was rolled, so the passenger seat is kinda catty wompus, but I took it anyhow because the cover was in good shape. The drivers was gone, bastardz.

Picked up the stuff for a 4.0l clutch swap since it's time for a new clutch, should be worth it.

Got swap done, it sounds like a total different truck when starting, I like it. I went ahead and proceeded to swap out my valve cover gaskets, because of a pretty bad leak, when I discovered this

So then I preceded to do this

Got it all back together but am still adding coolant after three days of driving it. I bleed the system good I thought, so either I missed a Crack in one of the heads or I still have lots of air in the system. I might pressure test it to see if I have a leak maybe I missed.

Well got lucky and all it was, was the flush tee was loose. Ran some engine oil flush through it, and decided to run synthetic.

Picked up these bad boys, for some fog light action. Have a oem switch, so it will look factory. Went to buy a front valance with the holes already in it, but lmc does not list it anymore, so I guess I will have to see how good I can cut some holes.

Bam

So much more light in the mourning, I love it.
