go manual!

Thats what I told him... But he doesn't see the worth in doing a swap like that if he could just sell it and get a manual one.

PS sorry for thread jacking

 

[masterbrenden]

tell him you want it and you put a manual in it...

I scrapped the truck. found a rust hole in the frame....... Sold a ton (possibly literally) of parts off it.

That sucks... Maybe a 6.2L diesel swap is in order for that zuki of yours. lol

going to assume it was pretty big to not try to

not going to trust something to tow 9000 pounds with a patched frame. It came down to with a rusted frame it wasn't worth a new engine....... or even a used engine. Next vehicle will be from outside the rust belt.

That block is junk.

you know, I finally did get that block back together and running with a DB2 mechanical injector pump. Sold it to a guy to run his generator..... it runs fine at idle with no ill affects which is all it does ..... goes from Idle to 1000 rpms.

Hey BDAB looks like I may be getting a old Chevy as a spare/backup/tow rig. It's from your trucks era a 77 C20 long bed with a big ole 454 on er.

 

[Ozwynn]

mine was a 94....... but a 77 (if its not rusted out) is a nice score.....

 

[mn_smokeater]

Has a bit of rust but I dont think its to bad from what it sounds, needs a tune up and exhaust manifolds but for 1200 bucks and coming with a topper and a slide in camper shouldnt be too bad a deal.

Gotta love connections. Will see if I can get pics.
