Any way about July of 08 I let my little brother use my truck and lets just say when I got it back it was not right. This is what I pulled out of the engine number 2 rod bearing

I put anther bearing in it and drove it till Jan of 09 then the number 1 went bad to. So I parked her in the basement (my shop). At the end of August I started getting ready to rebuild the engine.

Got a new one for 35 bucks shipped to my door now all I need is motor mounts, pilot bearing muffler, High flow cat, carb and some Time-sertsfor the header bolts. Then I can get this thing running again.
