So I wasn't going to start my build thread until I had actually done something to it. But I'm super excited about it. So I figured I would make a foundational intro to show where it's starting from.

Pic heavy

Pics from seller's classifieds post. Scored the whole truck for $500!
Some things are already done that i wanted to do.

Sorry, but I'm keeping the round eyes.

All this crap will be replaced with a carb setup

My goal for the truck is to make it super simple, bare bones wheeler/bov. I have to undo a lot of jimmy rigged stuff. Such as the fuel line which runs up through the shifter hole, to a 1/4 turn shutoff valve, through the firewall to the fuel rail. It also has injectors that dont belong on it. I had to space the fuel rail off the manifold with a stack of washers just to get the fuel rail and injectors lined up properly. Surprisingly they actually worked but its still not starting. pretty sure its due to the hacked up wiring. I also have to replace the aftermarket gauges that were put into the center gauge cluster. Luckily mckenziedg has a set he has already sold me and put in the mail. I also have the carb setup coming in the mail from J5.
