Then I took it out for some gas and ride. Put my gopro hero on dash mount. After I got gas I was pulling out of tsc and got on it and got side to side. A nice one too. Then I got home to put it on my laptop. My laptop is a big NO Huge POS and didn't work. Damit!

Replaced front parking brake cable. Install aftermarket stereo us existing screws under the dash with a short body car stereo so I wouldn't have to carve up a factory stereo location.

I just bought a harbor freight cargo unloader, It was on sale for 29 dollars. im gonna install it tomorrow morning on my trailer which is a square box. Since I use it for garbage disposal having a crank mat push trash out instead of using a pitchfork and 10 minutes of my time that might be really nice.

If it is really good, long time in the future after I change my garbage operation to a 1/2 ton trailer instead, I will probably find it really useful for getting a load of gravel in my current trailer(3/4 ton, E range tires) and being able to crank it off and have a helper move the truck forward slowly and cut the spreading time down quite a bit,. I need new gravel for my driveway next year. Will have skidsteer working then, too, and can just smooth it out with that.

Will post pics of fitment tomorrow, since its a square box others may find it useful to know how well it fits and works in our trucks

Popped the hood and looked at it for awhile with a beer like @82sbshortbed does his and started picturing in my mind what it's going to look like this coming summer. Want to put either a Weiand or Offenhauser tunnel ram with 2 big Holley 750's and street scoop that I got from @Rusty Nail! Then I drank another beer and looked at it some more. a few beers later and I was imagining Zoomies on it LOL and knew it was nap time!:cheers:

I only run Holley carbs. Got a spread bore on my 82. Kept the factory intake but threw the Quadra-bog in the trash and got a 650 Holley spread bore vacuum secondary carb. Love it!

I cleaned out the bed of O'l Yeller before work today since I'm doing a scrap run this weekend.

Hopefully this wont be the last hurrah of this motor pulling a trailer and being filled up with junk. Hopefully it makes it the 20 miles to the scrap yard without throwing a rod.

That’s a lot of cfms for a stock engine;).
Here’s something visual while you’re sipping on some suds.

Yea it is, and I am planning on doing that.

I just have to decide if I want to beeline it or not. I like the yellow wheel tubs/inner'bedsides, but berliner would protect it so well. I might just beeline the floor itself and repaint the wheel wells.

That is kinda how I would like to eventually do my bed. But prep is definitely key because any rust or moisture under that Im sure will just eat a bed

Throttle response is way more crisp than before is all I can really tell. I did have to lean out the A/F right off the bat on the carbs. Reckon the misty cloud richened it up a tad. In my case, it had to help since the fuel hitting the rotors is in a mist form vs a scattered stream.
