I'm just out of ideas about it. When i bought it for $300, the PO had used it as a parts truck. I put a junkyard radiator, harmonic balancer, fan, and slip-yoke housing (for the transfer case) on it. *IF* it still has the original engine, then it has at least 200K on it. The compression is in the 120's. I don't know if it is the original engine (or even what it could have come out of if it's not) because when i got it home, the motor mounts and bell housing bolts were all hand-tight. It has a funky true dual exhaust that was on when i got it. Looks to be no bigger than 2" pipe and is definitely not mandrel bent. No cats at all.
I really just want the truck so that i can have a pickup that i don't care about the aesthetics of and to pull a jonboat to a dirt landing at a nearby river that I don't feel comfortable leaving my '04 parked at.
I still may look at swapping a carb onto it as i get the money and time. I found a SBF 1-wire HEI dizzy on ebay for $60 or so.
It's not something I have to do right away, however. I mean, I've owned it for 6 years....what's a couple more months?
