5-90

Bugger. I tried!

I'll keep looking... I essentially want a solid four-wheel-drive pickup I can make into a work truck, that I don't have to deal with the California Air Police over (and can therefore make it run as well as I want to without catching any grief from CARB...)

i hate carbs when you wheel with them it can be hard on steep trails i like the injection better but you can get one of those fancy off road carbs that don't lose fuel when on a angle

Thats good to hear... I had to see classics get the crap beaten out of them. That diesel sounds like an awesome truck.

indianajeepman

its cool but its not origanal and i thought itr was but it its sweet

5-90

I hadn't planned on it - I was going to make it into a work truck.

That's two that have gotten away from me - the last one was a 1974 J20 with the AMC 401 (big sigh, big creem...)

dlundblad

I wasnt refering to you 5-90... Sorry about that...

Too bad you didnt get that J20. Those are tough trucks

indianajeepman

ya but i think after looking at the 78 it looks like i need rear brakes front brakes reatach the rear brakes mechanical fuel pump and rebuild the carb

5-90

I know - I just wanted to make sure.

And no kiddin'. I lost it because someone else with cash got there first, and he took it. The worst part about it was that it was some migrant worker, and I just know that the truck is going to get Hell beaten out of it and it's going to end up rusting away in a field in 2-3 years...
