MazDAMN is back.....(again)

Went JYD Hoppin today. I hit 2 spots. The 1st one had a complete interior maz. I didnt get anything from there, yet. The second one I went to I got a good bit, from 1 truck. There was only 4 there.

Tach Cluster
Housing for Tach Cluster
Very left A/C vent (full functional, no cracks)
Both L & R speaker grilles for dash (got a 3rd from another truck)
Door Sill plates/panels
Fuse Box door
Lower Steering Column vent
Passenger mirror delete panels, inner and outer
Both L & R Wiper arms


Next time I go back I am getting the rear/corner of the cab covers. With the little 4" speaker grille in the side. I saw one FULL at the first JYD. I should have just taken everything from there, but I didnt. I saw a BUNCH of wrap-over door panels, even one set being from an LX (with the fabric in the middle) but NONE had even a decent driver's door panel. Ah well, we shall see soon enough! Will post pics of items after they are cleaned and installed.

Well, its been a few months since I've updated anything. Here's what all happened.

Bought a House (with garage, woot)
Lost more than half the parts i got from a JYD for the Mazda
Got engine running, but never fine tuned it to run properly
Sold B2200
Bought B2200

So, with that being said... I have another B2200 now. Has an old ford 302 under the hood. It needs a TON of work. But, the engine and transmission is installed and so is the driveshaft.

The fuel system needs to be redone, as well as the coolant system. I need to figure what radiator I can use that has a remote fill, so I can put a core/latch back in. Otherwise I'll run hood pins and bolt a brace to hold everything together (thats how they have it now). Im gonna change over to the HEI system and I will get a manual fuel pump for it. Its got an electric on the frame rail, but I rather run manual to the carb.



Heres a couple pics.

Yet again, it's been months. And honestly, aint a damn thing changed. I went thru all the electrical, got a new coil, plugs, wires, and all that. New fuel pump, lines, filter, all that as well. She'll start, but idle at about 2k, and when you tap the gas, she spits it OUT of the carb. So... i've talked to 3 or 4 guys, told em the deal, they've all said "get a new carb, even if the one you got DOES NOT need a rebuild, its way too damn big for a 302". So last night I did.



This weekend I am swapping the fuel pump out, re-running all new fuel lines, setting this carb up, and HOPEFULLY toasting the remainder of these 14" tires off.

Did a little work over some time. Little things here and there. Tried to sell it for $1250, never worked.
So, Im still gonna proceed as I had initially planned.
Today, I bolted the rear end to the truck, as it should be, radiator is firmly attached, so, I basically drove it out of the garage, turned it around, and pulled it back in.

And yet another teaser.

Cant wait to drive mine! That mustve been exciting...

i might have skipped over it but what rear end are you running?

Stock rear end. I'll destroy it when I get everything else up and reliable, and got some highway miles on her. Pretty much as soon as I get my new rear end, I'll 5 lug swap, bag, and put new wheels on her. During that process the body and paint will also take place. Just want to get ALL the kinks worked out on the reliability part.

Sounds like a killer plan!
