thanks a lot guys i really just want a nice parts runner its on some hardbody chrome wheels and just overall is a short bed 2wd pickup the doner 4wd was a 85 720 4wd i think everything should work hows space on these im 6'2

Hey everyone, been a bit done a lot and haven't had time to work on the pickup but just wanted to ask questions and seek info. Currently making a 2.25 inch exhaust and swapping a 4wd tach dash into my 2wd truck not sure what I have to do to make that work and also swapped in Isuzu Rodeo seats. My questions are around suspension and just overall the best ways to unchoke the engine. Rebuilt the full motor head gasket to timing and up. Got a 32/36 Weber carb and its a manual. What else should I do or delete to make this truck ready or close to highways or .. hills XD. I live near mountains that i have to drive every other day and want it to feel planted suspension wise no race car crap just a nice experience driving wise. I know my struts are blown but what else have you guys found out to make these the most efficient machines possible? Bigger exhaust, random line removal, bigger fuel system please let me know i'm eager to learn and work on it just have been putting it off anything useful said i'll log and put it in a big notepad and post after i'm done. I run parts a lot motors, body panels etc just want something a little lowered nice to drive nice to ride. Overall decent truck that rides planted and nice and anything i can do to make it fuel and power efficient thank you !!! Sincerely Seth.

Hey guys back again, got 3 hardbody trucks for 800 bucks 2 86 pickups, one 2wd auto, and another 4wd manual. Then a 86 or 88 idk no title so probably just gonna sell it as a farm truck ka24e manual truck. Okay here is the issues the two v6s are the vg30i one has low oil pressure when warmed up 25 to be exact and it also has a slight miss and will only start in neutral and it also sputters or sounds like its flooding when starting*cold start injector*?. Second one is the v6 4wd has frame issues but comes with a whole new clean frame needs a fuel pump and an ignition box but guessing will need a tune up. Then the final one black 2wd ka manual, apparently was running like crap then parked the owner died and the car is held on some will or something so no title unless i wanna wait 2 years or so. Please give me first to dos on these and just in general how to get them all tuned up and ready to be driven or sold. ill get some pictures aswell pretty solid deal for the 3.

they i think only make the black ones not sure the hardbody still has them cheap and new

will a hardbody chrome one fit they are close and are super cheap and newly made

Hello guys back again, I would like to find a chrome bumper for my front since mines done but cant seem to find one chrome just black unless I want a used one what's my options here ?Also doing my own door panels I'm still making everything work I'm gonna use a 98 ranger brand new bumper for the back after floor pans thanks !!

I'm not sure i haven't installed the dash nor cluster yet if you have extra working clusters could i buy one if this one doesn't work ?

Hey guys got a parts truck 85 as well but its 4wd. My truck is 2wd and doesn't have a good dash or cluster the parts truck does issue is its a bit different how can I make the cluster and dash work with the rpm gauge as well ? Im also using the dash and all kinds of parts please let me know https://imgur.com/a/McQKgh9

I’ve got a whole new double timing chain kit with a new cam sprocket. The sprocket has 3 numbers on it. Which do i use, 2 is in the middle while 1,3 are on sides. Please let me know as i’m currently doing this. I’m gonna line the bottom colored timing piece to the dot just the cam has 3 dots and i don’t know what to do.

well it was pretty rough got it with a title and keys for 400 bucks. Mileage is 77k parked in 1980 sat in a field ever since its yellow, automatic but looks solid holes on driver floor pan, both fenders and rockers. I think I might try to start it and sell it what's the best course of action to sell and get the most money I can out of it doesn't have to be asap but I'm gonna clean it all out and see how bad it is after. Here she is https://imgur.com/a/BuKr8yK

sounds good ill let you know i think ill just end up flipping it

Getting the chance to buy a 74 620 pickup tomorrow for about 1000 don't think it runs she mentions its in good condition I'm a junk or collector of rare cars and trucks so i haven't actually seen it yet but as she describes it, " Haven't taken any pics of the truck yet, its not in bad shape don't think its had any accident's. Has some surface rust most is just surface little actual been awhile since I took pics" this is either gonna be a great buy slash quick flip. Or a rusted piece of junk the nice woman lives near me and is in estate houses and this truck was there. Comes with keys and a title ill update tomorrow or Wednesday if I buy it and its not that bad I may just quick flip it or sell it after some work. Don't think it starts so give me some info on them and what to do first. Thanks !

thanks a bunch man ill check the parts stores so just get a new one for my 85 at the parts stores ?
