...it might be a pain, but it will be worth it. I have fiberglass matt and resin etc. up here at the shop for those half doors if you want to use it, or are you doing it in metal and bondo?

Not sure, was thinking metal & bondo, what do you think would be better?

metal and bondo for sure, fiberglass is such a pain in the ass and the only real thing that makes it better in the end is weight. plus you have access to a welder and I can sling mud.....

I got a price on some 3/16" Diamond plate $150 for a 4x8' sheet.....I have a few other things to pay for first then I will be getting this so I can start on my bed.

After I get the bed started I'm getting one of these badboys in a 10gal and then recess mount it. (Robs getting my sending unit)

10 gallon is not a lot. Look into mounting a Ford F-150 tank under the bed. Its very low profile and about flush with the frame. Plus it holds 19 gallons!

Those are the same seats I have in Clyde. Not the most comfortable, a little hard on the bottom.. but there is plenty of side support.

Looking forward to that. I can wait to have a working gas gauge.

 

[Boomtacoma01]

True dat. Mine is finally working correctly

 

[AlienXtx]

Got my motor from Murphey (thanks again) now I just need to pull old one and swap some parts and do an install.

 

[taco4x4rar]

Is that a 22RE or the 22R

 

[drew02a]

Sweet, glad to see this thread updated again. Should be a fun swap.

 

[AlienXtx]

Is that a 22RE or the 22R

Well being that it has a carb manifold sticking off the side I would go with 22R

Sweet, glad to see this thread updated again. Should be a fun swap.

Yeah it should be simple and fun.

Oh, I thought you were switching over to fuel injected

 

[AlienXtx]

That's just a matter of a intake and ecu, I might still go that route because murphey has all of that too or I will go with webber set up most likely

Only slightly greener

Makes a huge difference. Is she running well enough to wheel at Alto?

 

[AlienXtx]

Yeah, my buddy I got it from had been taking it even with the big flatbed on it. I can put the Km's back on it.
