What a steal!!
the guy i bought my 5 speed swap from for 260 bucks, dug up a never ran rebuilt injection pump re manufactured by international fuel systems, complete with minty hardlines and new ID tag....for 50 bucks!!!! I think my pump is still good, (who knows about injectors) runs good, sounds good, doesnt smoke, but always great to have a spare, especially at that price!
enough bragging...gotta get back to cab and mount surgery!

ill make a build thread soon. Truck will be painted 2011 international orange, blacked out windows, home made grille (i know yall gunna love it!), porno red interior, sound system. Further plans include full length tubular roof rack, hydraulic lift gate, slight suspension lift, d60 conversion, OBA, and on board waste veggie/WMO suction-filtering-and delivery system, sofa bed style seat hinges so both benches lay out flat and can sleep in the cab!

yea auto came out yesterday, and today i got a little too happy with the cut off disc and hacked off most of the rusted out **** on driver side. still need to get at the body mount cover. after removing the rocker and cutting the B pillar..i forgot that it isnt attatched to anything so it flexes like crazy right now. before i cut it i measured across the cab and it was 61", so when i go to make caps for the pillars to weld back to the new (and stronger!) rockers ill have to tack it oin and make sure the doors line up correctly. I got 200$ worth of metal, its gunna be a friggin strong floor now!
thankfully the actual thick steel area of the body mount is relatively ok, so just break out the knotted wire brush and can weld some new fresh metal to it!
heres a few more pics
im just most excited to finish it, paint it orange and build that roofrack for it!
not looking forward to modifying and remounting the cross member, as well as pulling off that yoke off the manual..
