Runs rough when warm, shifts smooth, front end needs work.
Will see how it turns out.

It has good bones & I have a bunch of used parts & PaP will provide most of what's needed.
But I could be wrong & I'll be very up-front regardless when I pass it on.
Dave it's a short bed. I'm just bringing it back from the dead & to have something to work on & flip.
Gave it it's day #1 photo-log & stage one cleaning today to get the upper layer of crud from the engine.
The to-do list is getting long.
Door pin/bushings. door strikes, remove night mare tint, remove ground effects, remove stripes, alternator, shocks, brakes, wheel cylinders, rear window seals, antenna cap, pass side headlight flooded, idler wore out/torx bolt stripped, front tank gauge, AB code 32/clockspring (horn/cruise), CEL bulb, 6 cylinder snorkle, window motor bushings, both sides, shampoo carpet/seat, plugs, headliner.
CM codes 334, 172
ER codes 116, 172, 334, & the ever popular 538.
Put my original 95 amp alt off the 5.8 on yesterday. Boosted out put from the "O" over to tween "M" & "A".
Cleaned out the distributor & PIP, scrubbed the bottom half, threw on a used rotor.
Cleaned IAC & capped the leaky CANP nipple.
Set timing to 10*-ish (giant pink mark on balancer), could be 12*
Noticeable improvement in run/idle.
Below is day #1 first repair. dipstick tube was flopping around in hole since the stud is broke off.
Cleaned hole & threw a o-ring on it & wired it down:
Here's the "before" engine bay shot... may have had a leak sometime: (edit... Yah THINK?

My chapter bud pointed out that it probably blew a tire.
There's black & (yet) another dent on the bed rail to go with the above.
This sucker is definitively wearing some high-water pants...
It has damn near zero rust save for surface scale on the frame.
I could only find one tiny smaller than a pin head spot in a wheel arch after pulling off the body kit.
Was really terrified it might be et' up.
Now the DENTS on the other hand are everywhere.
Thomas, it does look tons better without.
Just don't know what to do with that "*** in the air like a cat ready to mate" stance or why it's there in the first place.
Started on the doors & window motor "slugs" so it can stay out in the rain when needed.
