My Second B

just got this for 500...was just gonna be a parts truck but i got it running so its gonna be a daily....needs a carb maybe rear brakes but everything else(that matters) seems to be be pretty good to go.

compression was about 152 across the board...dont know if thats normal...but seems good to go. Timing belt has been changed recently....i might just put in a couple seals...v/c gasket and the weber...change the oil and call it good.

Nice find. Same color and stripes as my ol' girl.

well...this upcoming week im gonna be doing some needed front end work. All new b-joints...tie rod ends, idler, uper control arm bushings...good stuff . And ive somehow managed to more or less kill the motor so im just gonna put a new one in it. And 3 inch blocks in the rear tomorrow.

a few new parts going in tonight

so...seems a little odd to do this to a 2wd truck, but im gonna lift it a little. We just had a huge blizzard and i got high centered a couple times, always got out once i got my tires all the way down to the ground so i decided to lift it back up in the rear to stock ride hieght and turn the torsion bars up to make it sit level.

Seems pretty normal. My B2200 was 165 on all four before I rebuilt it (Oct. 2011), was smoking even with decent compression.

I haven't measured the compression since the rebuild.

this was kinda old but i ended up putting a new motor in it.
