hey guys, names justin im 22 and live in salt lake city...big into mini trucks just never owned one till now.
just bought a 86 b2200 single cab. 74k origonal miles... clean as hell in my eyes...
catch is.... it dont run. kid sayed blew coolant bypass hose @ water pump, it got hot and he shut it off... never ran again...
truck has new water pump and timing belt now, his mechanic said it was he head gasket. i just got it home and checked it out real quick. getting spark, cranking over has compression (havent tested with gauge though)
im a mechanic so i dont think should be a big deal.... any common issues i should check before i pull the head??
me and a couple buddies will be doing all the fab work ourselfs. have bagged a couple trucks to date so this looks like its gonna be an easy project.
plans:
-bagged
-shaved
-edc
-triangulated 4link
-all the little stuff associated with bagging.
-body drop later down the road.
