69 C-10? I've always been a ford guy but I really like those trucks, there's a guy down the road from me that has a 4WD somewhere around 69, it looks good but it's been up on jack stands for a while.

Well, my 83 needs cab corners, which is typical for an 80's truck. Gotta put a new sending unit in the gas tank, as my fuel gauge died a while back. Gonna swap out the 1bbl carb for a 4bbl intake and carburetor. Might even put a new head on the thing seeing as I'm having oil control problems after it sits for more than a day or two.

When i assembled this engine in the summer of 06 it was basically a basket-case, i had to put everything back together. I didn't have the time then to go over everything thoroughly, and apparently the valves need new guides & seals.

Thinking about putting in a new oil pump while i've got the engine out. Might even do a new clutch...just depends on funds and time i guess. Looking foreward to putting the books away for the semester, definitely tired of school.

Steve, I'm doing fine, watching a little football. That 69ish Chebby 4 wd I told you about is gone, I go by it everyday, I guess I didn't notice it gone until I was gonna stop and ask about it for you.
