I think I need to make a snorkel like that one.

What is used to cap the tubing?

Snorkel is routed through a stock '94 E150 intake tube into 3" PVC routed up to a 6" K&N filter with a splash shield wrapped halfway around to dissuade water from entering my intake.

Bucket seats are out of a dodge stealth

Nice rig you got there. What did you have to do to get the buckets to bolt in?

Had an F350 sitting in my yard w/ buckets in it. Someone fabbed up some revolving bucket seat mounts and I stole them out of there before we scrapped the truck.

Are you running EFI in that truck? I know the air intake is from a 94 you said and it almost looks like EFI

Yea with the throttle body. Truck came stock with it. I guess '86 was the 1st year they had fuel injection (302) and carbed (351). I cant really find exactly when the 302 was 1st released as fuel injected. Some pple say '85 and some say '86

Read somewhere EFI option in 85 and STD 86, but only for 302, others still had carbs.
Would like to ask what type of rims those are or any information about them. I would like to find some for my truck.

Off topic

1987 was also the last year for the old school Flareside bed (wood floor).

They are the old Hurricane 13 spoke rims in 16.5x12. I have never seen a pair before until I found them on craigslist. They dont make the style anymore and I dont even know who used to. They had a set on the General Lee. These rims also take a special kind of lug nut. My stock ones slid right through the opening
