Is it my imagination or does it look "light footed" now? Like a Reindeer or something!

 

it does look a little odd. The new tires are taller then the old ones but still look smaller.
It ride great on the new ones and turns easily even without PS so I am happy.

I think the new wheels may have the tires inset a bit farther that the stock steel wheels. that may be the optical oddity cause.

 

Gembone, regarding the full cover for your cab floor. LMC does market a full cover at about $169. Have not found out much as to its quality.

 

Thanks for the info. I found it on their website but it doesn't list for a 4 speed floor shift. They have a larger hump. I am always leery of any rubber and plastic parts from LMC because of the horror stories.

I will give them a call and see if the larger hump option is available.

Update: I called and they do not have them for manual transmission.

 

I found that even with carpet kits so pulled the stick off and cut a hole was okay trim to size.. No big deal rubber has to be easier the carpet with thick padding in the hump area.

I am worried about the difference in hump height. the 4spd supposedly has a 8 inch hump where the others have a 5 inch hump.

This would cause the mat to not lay properly.

after thinking about this, I guess I could cut the entire floor hole out under the trans cover. then use the trans cover to help hold the mat in place.
I think the trans cover is the bit that causes the difference in height. I could then just use a bedliner spray on the cover.

any other options or thoughts are welcomed.

I will have to call about it. It doesn't say if it goes all the way back or if it stops at the seat like most.

 

Craigs list score for me today

2 - 300 i6 motors for $100

 

Want to sell me one of the air cleaners?
Not the fancy offset one. The regular one will do

 

let me figure out what I plan to use and I will let you know.

 

Cool score Greg. I see an EGR valve and carb spacer you can EBAY maybe. There may be someone out there that needs it for State inspections or a restoration.

 

I don't think I will have much need for anything on the second motor that has the EGR.

The guy just pulled the one with the clutch on it to get the trans for his truck. It supposedly runs...

I was only going to buy the one since the guy was asking $200 for both. I offered $75 for one, but he countered with $100 for both.
I figured the extra parts wouldn't hurt.

 

Update: Not much but it makes a big difference in comfort

I got and installed NOS floor shifter boot.



Also the NOS fuel filler neck grommet came in that I got from Ebay $10 after shipping
I still need to clean it up but it looks much better than what was there.




This is what was siliconed in the hole when I got the truck. It can be seen in earlier pics of the truck.

 

Progress,albeit small,is a beautifull thing.
