Thanks for the comments guys

Tonight I took out my stereo from the red truck, still need to take the deck out though.

Tomorrow I am swapping my front bumpers between the two trucks, the grills, marker and headlights.

Reason why I am swapping the marker's took is because the markers I have are wired to blink with the signals in my Toyota bumper.

After I swap the bumper and stuff, and swap out the cd player, the truck will be ready to sell.

what size wire is that for a ground??? not truing to keep you from saleing the truck..... i wouldn't go putting more things that require 12volts in the truck without making that ground wire as large or larger then the positive.... 12 volts dc works in reverse.... ground then around to positive

90-B22Dawg,

Lol, I'm not trying to sell the truck, I just bought it. I will be selling my red truck.

But yeah, the truck will be getting cleaned up, and theres also a ground from the block to the fire wall that is broken where the wire came out of the crimp where the bolt holds it to the block.

dropped90,

To be honest, I don't know the size of bags, this is my first bagged truck and I am still learning more and more about them.

And to add to being honest, The truck isn't at my house, its parked at my brothers, and I've only actually turned it on ONCE since I've bought it, and I haven't driven it yet.

I made a deal with my brother that after buying this truck I have to keep my red one on the road untill it sells, otherwise I would end up putting the red one to the curb if I had the blue one on the road.

The compressor on my truck seems to take a very long time to fill up the two tanks, could this also be because of the broken ground wires up in the engine bay? or is it most likely because the compressor is pooched? What is a good compressor to upgrade too that isn't too much $$$?

Little bit of an update -- (sunday evening)

I have taken the toyota bumper off of the red truck, and swapped the markers and headlights.

Also messed around with my blue truck, got the carb set up a little bit better, still have to tune it and get it to run so its not so rich.

The guy who installed the carb, didn't have it snugged down propperly, and the throttle cable was only letting the carb give out half power.

ALSO, the the sun was shining through the window when I was sitting in it, so I flip down the sun visor, and to my surprise, there is sharpy written on the sunvisor, writing says "ICBC Scam" ... so, wtf!?

Another thing we discovered, on the safety vavle to fill up at a gas station, we let all the air out and there was tons of moisture in it, and it wasn't just a little bit, but there was a small puddle on the ground. After letting that out, the truck, might have just been me, but seemed to air up a bit better.

Also, goofing around, we put a flame at the end of my exhaust and was shooting flames because it runs so rich, lol, have a couple videos on my phone...

Tomorrow I will be putting the toyota bumper on the blue truck, and the red truck will be getting listed for sale!

Well today wasn't very productive.

It ended up raining immediatley(sp?) after school so I couldn't work on the blue truck (no garage).

But in my mechanics class I was able to put the stock cluster back into the red truck along with the b2200 steering wheel. Just have to take out the cd player out, and the truck is going in for a windshield tomorrow.

hey man you dont need to be drivin that truck much at all if its runnin rich, it will mess your rings up, but its a damn good lookin truck man
shiftyjm   +1y
Oh no, I haven't been driving the blue truck, I've been driving my red one. I've been getting the red one ready to sell, while the blue one needs to be tuned up to run propperly and not so rich. I bought a new fuel pressure regulator for it.

I only have very few things to finish on the red truck and its ready to get sold.

Well, today I put my tach cluster in the blue truck along with the protege wheel. And put my Yota bumper on the truck aswell. I still need to paint the grill, and wire up the runnning/signal lights for the markers beside the head lights.

Some new pictures of my truck as of today.









She still needs a wash and polish, she's a bit faded.
