OK. A few things have happened. The truck jumped time. "Timming chain slipped. It was so bad. I took the chain off without removing either sprocket. It bent all of the exhaust valves and a few of the push rods. After taking taking a few rod caps and main caps off I decided to rebuild the whole...

I got the carb tuned good. Found out the high idle was because when a friend "Bill" rebuilt the carb he opened up the secondary throttle stop a little. The secondaries were not closing all the way. Turned the stop all the way in and it wouldnt even idle. Had to open the idle a good bit so it...

It had a problem with it idling to high. Thought it was sucking air from the intake manifold gaskets. So I went ahead and put the performer RPM intake on it. Haven't done the heads yet. I want to wait until I get the cam kit so I don't have to take the heads back off to change the valve ssprings.

Went to LKQ today and got a few things. Another tailgate. The factory tailgate is beat up on the inside. A airdam without foglight holes. I think it looks cleaner without them. And a aftermarket radio adapter and harness. The factory radio doesnt work. I saw a truck with lowering shackles on it...
