moparvwfreak Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 well mom f'd my truck up. now i get to do my cab swap SOONER than i had originally planned. but i have to get a few things taken care of on my new, less rusty cab before i can even think about swapping it over. i have one small rust hole in the drivers floor pan, and swap over my new, un dented non rusty core support. plus paint it and get a new radiator, windsheild, seals, bumper, brackets, cab mounts, hardware, and literally swap everything over. this sucks ass. i might just take my time with it and find a nice little KC to play with while i and gathering parts. i have some $$ from this little "oops" so its all good. she paid me off today so its all good. i will post some pics tomorrow of the damage.

moparvwfreak Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 i have been thinking about just hooking this thing to the back of my jeep and yanking the core support out enough that i can drive it. it wont be pretty but it'll at least give me a truck to haul the parts with to the welder with.

Buzzbomb Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 i have been thinking about just hooking this thing to the back of my jeep and yanking the core support out enough that i can drive it. it wont be pretty but it'll at least give me a truck to haul the parts with to the welder with. If you really don't want to do it with another vehicle, find a big tree (shouldn't be hard up there :) ) , hook up a big logging chain to it, and pull it out that way. I did this one time with a '68 Chevy C10, and it honestly worked pretty good! It was easy to get some tension on the chain and pull it out gradually. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Easy fix. Did my h/g for $23. (gasket) Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 yeah. that might be what I am gonna do. but I figure while I am in there I should do the timing chain. Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 well i yanked the ehad tonight. and no i didn't jam the tensioner. i had it jammed but the chain kept loging itself between the head and what i was using to lodge the tensioner. so i said fuck it. i was planning on doing the timing chain anyway while i was in that far. oh when i got the head off, it looked as though the gasket at #4 was egg shaped. is that normal??? that was the only odd one. might account for the low comp reading i got off that cylinder. heres my #s. motor cold #1. 185 #2. 185 #3. 175 (still good) #4. 95 (not good at all. 90 PSI lost) so now its time to gather parts. not a happy camper about this as i was, once again, going to take this little beast to teh NWDE meeting. oh well, i still ahve the bucket.

moparvwfreak Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 well i decided to do the motor swap from my KC to the 73. all in all its good to go. just gotta button up the exhaust and out my hood back on and itll be good ot go. Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 well i have finished up the motorswap and have been driving it around for a few days now. shes got power, i'll give her that. clutch is weird, choke doesn"t work right yet, and i have a nasty exhaust leak. but all in all i am VERY happy on how it turned out. a good mix of L16 and L20 parts and everything bolted up fine and works great. i ran teh GM HEI electronics and it works great as well. i really wasn't expecting how well it worked.

moparvwfreak Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 i know i havent been keeping this updated, but i have done a few other things to it. i swapped out my hood, due to selling it, and swapped my bench seat BACK in as my buckets killed my back. soon though i need to fix a bunch of stuff to keep it on the road. right now its wanting to pull left BADLY, and the brakes are pulling right. plus i have to fix the exhaust, replace the windshield (caught a rock on Monday), and figure out why my choke is being a bitch to use. also if a mod wants to move this, feel free!

moparvwfreak Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 so this little shit, (my 14yo son. love him dearly but sometimes.....) wrecked my truck. pulled it into the back of my 75 Ramcharger. so with the help of ]2eDeYe, i was able to repair my truck. he had a bumper for me and i had a rusty, but straight fender. its not pretty but it works. i will post some new pics here tomorrow as its WAY to dark to get good ones right now. it is done and the little shit that wrecked it, helped put it back together, so hes now out of the doghouse. but he still owes me for the hardware to fix it. :) Quote Link to comment
