Just loading and heading to town for final safety inspection, exhaust and wheel allignment. Still working out some transplant issues, but can't discuss here.

Just visited the Hamb to take a look, great job, your truck looks fantastic, and it's completed with a chassy swop, can't wait to here how it handles.

Well I think I found my knock issue in the engine. There was significant rust on the head in one of the cylinders that may have been causing detonation resulting in the knock/loud tick. It sounded like a bad lifter or con rod.

Thanks for posting the link to my pictures, for those that can't see them in my post.
