dude, i used to live in nacogdoches. thats why i asked where you live. truck is looking good!

nice man. if you get it and want to sell the tailgate let me know. i will need one for my bagged trailer when the time comes.

I have a spare red one already if you interested,

Pics of tonights progress. Prob won get much done over the holidays... Feeling a cold coming on lol. Good to see not everyone thinks I am nutz for dropping this much time into a WHOOPty...



















Heres the spare talgate if you interested, Free as long as you pick up lol

looks like i will have to make a trip.

Wow I feel like I have been neglecting yall.. My truck has been at a friends shop for the last 3 weeks. We installed bags up front. I cant remeber what kind of bags in the front or back, I know they are all half inch. They were all free donations from friends. Also picked up a compressor and a tank. Right now bags are just hard lined to ball valves until I get the cab and bed back on. I will post more pics of front bag setup tommorrow after I trailer the truck home.

As for the turbo..... Well it was free and they had the time to build the manifold. We plummed in it with oil. I have a warranty stil left on the motor and said screw it. Why not? The turbo is new and from a 3cycl diesel tractor. Made by garret. Theres a manuf tag on it, I will post a high quality pick tommorrow to see if someone can give me some specs on it. The turbo manifold was hand built by a friend. I got to man the cut of wheel and grinder. Now heres where everyone is going to give me shit. Yes I know I have a water house running from my turbo to my intake. No intercooler, no wastegate, no boost controller. I am broke poor. Xmas killed me. So right now, this is proof of concept. Will it run, how much boost wil it produce? I will purchase some cheap ebay kit for the intercooler end of Jan. So its install, and front bagged. I will bring it home tommorrow and start putting it all back together and hopefully firing it up this weekend.









On a side not found a Ford Courier if anyone is intersted. Front end damage. Will have pics up tommorrow and more info if owner is home.

hey man if u still have that weber and plate and wanna sell it lemme know!
and any chance you have a solid rear window and stock intake and exhaust manis?

i dig the truck
mines juiced and im planning on redoing it on bags down the road

I got a strageeeeeeeeee feeling thats not gonna clear the hood.

Yeah if the hood doesnt clear, I gues I will have to cut a hole in it.I have a stock exhuast manifold. Stock intake went to the scrapper., but I have a good running stock carb. I still have the weber carb installed onto the motor right now. I do have adapter plate for 86 and older trucks.

After looking at the clearance of my hood and engine, I am 100% positive that willl NOT clear the hood.
