Well the engine, tranny and 2 front seats gone. Guess my search continues but I'm not in a great hurry to pick one up. Upside got a little education of what to look for, if I should find a 4150 in the future I will let you know silver.

I did find a nice aftermarket floor mat and some jute backing out of a 73. Both are in like new shape except for one hole on drivers side where the aux. gas switch goes. For 12.00 bucks I got a like new mat and jute backing, not better for a quick junkyard run!

My gas mileage is alot better than when I first got the truck. New plugs, wires, pertronixs, 3g upgrade. Had headers and electric fan but took off headers due to electrical problem with the starter. Once I get a mini starter I will get the headers back on. Was going to put an H pipe but another member talked me into waiting and doing an x pipe. Want to get my front rear sway bars and front coil springs first. Had 2 days off but it's been raining alot so I'm not getting much done. I like the idea of a 4 barrel and intake for maybe a little better mpg and when I do tow a trailer I like a little more power. Any thing reasonable to get a little better gas mpg is worth it to me.
