    I'm amazed it didn't fall apart while being washed!
    But it's certainly got a charm about it, probably was a super clean rig 40 years ago! Of course it'd look great doin' some off roadin' so long as it has enough chassis to survive moving under it's own power. But I absolutely love that front bumper, it's hideous in all the right ways. Looks like something that should've been on the CUCVs.
    As for the sheet metal? I'm a Toyota guy and have seen vintage land cruisers and jeeps that are pretty much just rust flakes in a bucket get restored from scratch. but the door falling off? That was one of the funniest things I've seen in years...Of course, could always just leave the metal and do a Mad Max build.

    Good to see you again. You showed me how to get the timing cover out of my Tacoma without taking off the cylinder head. Enjoy watching your work. Thanks.

    I should watch the entire video before commenting I guess. You'd probably like Merlin's old school garage he says great things about Industrial Injection he recently used again having to use the emergency 911 pump rebuild and return option.

    • @wrenchwranglers
      @wrenchwranglers  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Exactly. It’s actually not that difficult, as I intend to show in the coming series….. many people have to told me to give up on this truck right out of the gate but I have a set budget in both stubbornness and money and it’s going to happen. I like this style of truck too much to let one go to the crusher, and these stepsides come up so rarely at a price I can afford. Well I couldn’t turn it down, and I’m not going to give up on it.

      I definitely have been looking for a whole roller that could sacrifice itself. I don’t want to ruin a running driving vehicle, that’s just not my philosophy….. but a roller would be a good way to get all the parts at once!

    Hey buddy I just ran across your video!! I do have a cab and front clip off of a 1984 GMC that I would be interested in selling if interested in?? I’m in southern Iowa!! Not sure if that is to far away to get a front clip, cab, and doors for you but I would definitely be interested in selling them!! Let me no??

    I think I have a soft copy of the shop manual for 4bb, 6bb, 4bd, 6bd, 4bg and 6bg as well, this engines ones running is very reliable not very powerful but the 6bd1t and 6bg1t can be compared to the 5.9 cummins even both in stock forms some versions of the 6bg1t is a little bit more powerful. And this engines sleeved engine so they can be continously re built
