I am still smelling hot burning smell initially the problem was ATF but I think that's resolved.
About a month ago I fixed a fuel leak where the filter goes into the carb it was dripping onto the intake manifold and evaporating that spot is dry now.
Now I smell it a lot again and I decided...
Yeah... check the fluid. my th400 was doing exactly that (compltely stock, stock tires) and adding half a quart of fluid fixed it perfectly - maybe it's a bit low? a $3 solution!
Yeah, I know it's a scam - just thought it was pretty funny. Even at the "real" price if it wasn't a scam (whatever the value of that is) it's pretty darn ugly. I guess the price varies by location :D
Seems like a decent price!

Except for the goofy hood, this is amazing!

Too many nice squares!

This is what I did and my sbc 350 that was parked since 2000 came out just fine. Doesn't leak, drip, or burn oil.
Just expect to have to do a carb rebuild and tons of brake work :)
Did this for the first time about a month ago (terrible smell of hot ATF on exhaust manifold and lots of smoke while I was driving scared the crap out of me), drained 1qt of fluid and thought it was solved. Today on the way home from work I didn't see it but I did start to smell it again. Popped...
I know it's off topic but damn, that first truck is perfect looking! 6" on square body is perfect... I think 9" on the blazer makes sense for off road etc but it's a bit too much lol
Nice job!
Something like that would be perfect and not too hard to make, but I'm in the process of selling my truck, so I won't be able to enjoy it :'( Maybe in the future I'll have the time and money for a square body. I'll miss it.

Selling my truck as a down payment on a new car with more interior space/seating and better on gas. Let me know if you have any questions or are interested. I'm probably going to get a Chevy Cruze to replace the truck.
