Hey Joe. I sent my 73 D100 318 engine harness into Evans wiring for them to replicate a while ago. So if anyone needs a factory replacement harness they make it
My favorite thing on that truck, aside from the 500 HP awesomeness of the engine, is the cool Pentastar steering wheel. That one looks pretty rare, super cool.
Thanks for the ride. I have a 63 short bed with a 440 that has been sitting long enough that I need to tear the motor down. And I’m really missing driving it.

Hope you're keeping warm. You guys are probably in the snow by now. It started in this morning over here. Got about 5 inches of snow now and I'm not far from you in OK. Anyway great inormative video as always. Love the old blue and of course a bb mopar!!!

@@peterdollery629 thanks Peter! I’ll try to keep my early releases up. I am planning to finally make the truck race in March and beat Ryan Wing’s Square body
Good vid🫵 My 72 Cuda has the original wiring still works fine but i always disconnect the negative when i park it in the garage just as a fire prevention.
I’ll have to break out my laptop to signup. I was working on some videos to put out here. And my laptops hard drive crashed. Of course I didn’t have a recent backup so I lost all those videos I was working on. Now it’s snowing and cold so I have to wait for warmer weather to video again. My truck & Demon are outside, the garage is too small for them. Cold here in CO. The lunch truck sounds good. 👍
Sounds awesome, so much better than the slant 6 that it came with! Might paint them front drums black, the white stands out through those slot mags. Love the Chrysler Pentastar in the center of the Grant steering wheel!
I'm thinking of simply rewiring factory harnesses with new wire and possibly spades as long as the plugs are decent and will clean up nice. New harness is expensive!

Yeah I am getting tired of the lack of aftermarket electrical options, specifically wiring harnesses. If they do exist then its most likely to be wrong colors or some gm color coding BS. I'd like to see someone do a video on ALL the handy shunts and conversions necessary to keep these old birdbaths from burning down. There is always something about those old slotted mags on the trucks that just works, its almost like they were specifically designed for mopars! Loving the lunch break, cant wait to see it on the track again.
@@JustMoparJoe The only thing that looks better than slot mags is the fury patrol car wheels & slotted caps (the look I went with, Tony Angelo did the same look on a white truck he did last year). Hopefully this is the year I get my old Lurch featured on LMC Trucks. Its so near completion now and thanks to your advice its looking really damned sharp!
It depends on the bearing clearances. I would start with a 30 weight break in for the initial period. You can judge your oil pressure from there. If it’s a little low, go with 10w40 or 15w40. As for brand, I like Castrol, rotella, valvoline,or Mobil Delvac if you’d like some zddp.

@@bradhoward8950 thanks Brad. I’m definitely not on that level, but I have some fun.
Nice to see Big Block Blue!!! Sounds Healthy and Ready !!!
Thanks brother! I can't wait to get her out to the track.
Nice wiring fix.
The old 406 sounds great.
Thanks Ed, that old iron just sings! This engine broke the Internet!
Sounds like a good little rig,can't wait to see it ripping down the track, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones,
Thanks brother, I’m planning on making a few passes when the weather turns!
What a great idea. I never thought about using a B body harness for a truck.
Yeah, I think it worked out pretty good, but it was a few inches shorter. Maybe a C body would be a closer length?

I agree, it's one of my favorite things about the truck too!
This is why I always save the wiring harness o every car I've ever junked... You never know whe it might come in handy. Thanks @JustMoparJoe
I always do the same. You never know when you’ll need it.
That big block sounds AWESOME!!!
Thanks brother!

Hey Joe,
Tim here, i've used M&H for my stuff......their shi% is quite resonable to adapt, make work, etc..... u'll get 'er strait, i have NO doubt!!
Thanks Tim, I appreciate that! I think a c body harness may be closer to the right length
Thats awesome we got snow in davebport iowa and its cold stay safe and warm
Thanks Steve! Check out those bad tree production guys. They’re in Mcgregor
Thanks Joe! I've been waiting for more Lunch Break! I love that truck.
I'm planning to do more, I gotta keep that truck running!
Up in the north here i usually feather the throttle between 1,500'2,000 for at least a minute then it'll idle.
Excellent. I will someday get this one in a garage and that’ll help some.
Truck sounds good.

Sounds good buddy!
Thanks man! She should sound good about 330 feet out 😝

Brown wire may be windshield washer. But that or a horn aren't really critical on a race truck lol. Such a cool old truck. Sounds great1

My old 77 did too!
Joe great job! Just joined the channel I would pay $10.00 a mouth.

Please just reach In the fender and knock that biggest dent out a little bit! 😂
@@minnesotatomcat 😂 you act like I have any kind of paint and body skill 😅
@ I like the look and patina of that truck, I wouldn’t touch a thing other than knock that fender back out, it drives me nuts 🤣
Joe, did you remove all of the chrome around the gasket area (Inside valve cover)?😊
I didn't. Maybe worth a go! Thanks
What motor oil do you recommend for a newly built Magnum 360 in a warmer climate? It has Harland Sharp, roller rockers, and roller lifters.
It depends on the bearing clearances. I would start with a 30 weight break in for the initial period. You can judge your oil pressure from there. If it’s a little low, go with 10w40 or 15w40. As for brand, I like Castrol, rotella, valvoline,or Mobil Delvac if you’d like some zddp.
