'96 Budget Build
Well I just pulled the truck into the shop. Got most of what I need, got a turbo I rebuilt ready for install, new up pipes, new manifolds, new performance rotors and pads on its way, and most important beer 
. I Ceramic coated the manifolds and turbo exhaust aside. Also plan on wrapping the pipes with titanuim heat wrap and I have fire cloth (for welding) on the manifolds. I'll post pics as I progress for anyone else interested. Also I'm open to any pointers, thanks in advance.

Has anyone seen bolts this clean? I can tell they're old though. I'm just surprised at how little rust this truck has overall. Bought out of Oregon. After working on this I'd recommend northwestern truck to everyone

Good point. When I get out of active service and move home I plan on doing a full engine overhaul. With that I'll weld in my own bellows when the engine is out. So probably about two more years or so
