Ha, well I figure this is the best way to get someone a decent truck and put the most $$$ in my pocket.

A couple buddies came over. More of a distraction, but it was so nice to just tinker with stuff and bullshit.

We were able to pull what we needed from the built motor and get a few things cleaned up and fixed on the motor going in. It had a valve cover leak, warped manifold and a couple broken manifold studs. I do have order up some gaskets and the coolant line fittings to round out the repairs on the motor going in.  Everything else looks good, it looked nice and clean under the valve covers and did have a timing job done in the recent past.

Motor is fully in and buttoned up, Trans and transfer case in place and mostly connected.

Left to do:
Fresh filter and fluid in trans
Fresh fluid in T-Case
Down-pipes
Exhaust
Drive shafts
Drop tank and swap in stock fuel pump
Oil change
Coolant

Looks like it’s mostly fluids and exhaust.  This is like a re-Frankenstein back to stock truck.  Are you even able to list it with accurate mileage.  The Johnny Cash song One Piece at a Time keeps popping in to my mind but all the parts actually belong together.

It’s all done except for mud flaps and running boards, I gotta find the right fasteners for them.

The motor and trans have less mileage on them than the rest of the truck. Obviously parts I put back on like exhaust, shocks, rad, intercooler all have way less mileage. Whoever gets it, should be getting a truck better than anything else out there at this mileage.
