I painted the front of my bed, all bolted on the truck, and fuel filler is funtional.

I'm going to do a couple little thing to the truck and I may take it to a little show just down the road from me.

After the show it is engine swap time...

Now her I would team drive with.

In the winter, Kelly drives the route depicted in this season's "Ice Road Truckers" - airing Sunday at 9 p.m. - and in the summer, she runs out of Wasilla.

Good to know the laws of physics still apply

I installed the engine and have it running.. I still need to finish up some little items but it sounds good so far...

Post by **Greg D** » July 4, 2009, 12:21 pm

COOL! So next is getting it ready to lay that really nice shade of Silver on the rest of the truck?

Not quite yet.. I want to go through the steering, suspension, and the interior.. I still have a real nice floor pan to install...

Well I finished up the engine swap and ran the engine pretty much all afternoon. I even took a couple short (no regisration yet) rides up the road and WOW this " new engine seems to run great. What a little screamer!!! I'm thinking the 4 barrel made most the difference..

Next little project will be modifying a air cleaner.. I grabbed one off the studebaker at our farm... It is tall and slender, just the way I like 'em!!! I need to cut it down a bit or cut a hole in the hood..

That is sweet!! Have you thought of using an old dog dish hub cap for the top of the breather?

I really think these look cool. I like the original oil bath also, I am going to need something for mine when she gets on the road. Right now I have nothing. Just ideas..... Anthony
