welp, I slapped the ol dented stock bumper back on.
I have some of Clifford's old stock injectors heading back to swap out so this pig runs right. One it's running I'll get a couple tires on and we will run to Oklahoma for the bed. I'm determined to drive this thing there. I cleaned the interior out but no pics. The center console and dash trip are missing sadly. I think I'll remake the trim here soon and refinish the old to hopefully match ok. I'm thinking a trip to the junkyard for some console to retrofit may be in order this weekend if weather permits.

Nate, thanks for the kind words.im not sure we can call this a build. I hope he will pull the camper tho lol.
Ben, thanks as well sir.
Injectors arrived today from the mad matador . Injector orings should be here maybe Thursday or Friday. I'll pop the VC's off and track down the offending cylinders.

well #8 injector was doing diddly squat so I swapped in one for now. I need to put some miles on it and run this 3 year old fuel out before i worry too much more i think. Heck its stillcranking long but running much better than before. The interior needs more cleaning and drivers seat upholstery. I'm thinking sat I'll go get 2 tires put on. I sure wish I had some tail lights...

Glad the injector helped it. It may just need some miles. I like the seats. How heavy is that camper again?

8500 iirc . I'm curious to see how it feels pulling with this vs the ol' dodge. The camper really jerks it all around.

Like a wiring harness? When I went for my flat deck I just used a couple J bolts and some 2x material to cover the wheels and hang tail lights. Once I got there I un bolted the temp stuff and the deck went on. Nice part was all the pieces went on the deck no problem for the ride home.

The reason is I have a US gear (20%)under drive sitting here and 3.55 x 1.2 is 4.26
I hope that makes sense. If not correct me.

If you have a dually axle and bed. Just chuck that axle in and the bed on. Run a dually rear single front. You could find some arrowcraft hub adapters for the front and it would be fine.
