    wires on ignition module seem to be cut, what were they for?

    Those are the pick up coil wires. You can typically use whatever ignitor on a 22r as long as you get the right wires connected. There were a bunch of different styles over the years but they all function basically the same. We have used EFI coils/ignitors on carb harnesses several times...

    Lift, Tires?? but a unique reason.

    The many different kinds of snow and changing conditions of snow sure do come into play. Snow wheeling is my favorite kind of wheeling. This was the first time I've had an extended experience with having to deal with deep snow on a day to day basis rather than for sport...

    Lift, Tires?? but a unique reason.

    I live and work in rural north-central Montana. This winter I worked as a farm hand and my daily commute was 12 miles of unplowed dirt road with constant blowing and drifting snow conditions. We had a huge winter with a good 3 feet in the prairie. My tracks would be blown in fresh every...

    Builds 82 first Gen Project (RECON)

    I now have three different shades of tan and one bedside that has all the paint burned off. I am going to have to put paint on that side so it doesn't rot away. I'm afraid I am going to have to paint the whole thing eventually which sucks because it has the perfect set of dents and patina...

    Builds 82 first Gen Project (RECON)

    One time years ago I painted my brake drums yellow. A very good friend said to me... "It kind of makes you wonder who drives it." I love your pickup, but I had to tease you about the fake patina :).

    "Best" 4 or 6 cyl for swap?

    I had a 215 Buick aluminum V8 in an '80 pickup once. That was interesting and simple.

    "Best" 4 or 6 cyl for swap?

    You can't put a 20r head on with 22re EFI. The intake side is totally different so the manifold won't match up. 20r is round intake ports and 22r/re is square.

    "Best" 4 or 6 cyl for swap?

    I ran a 3RZ and it was great. Probably more wiring that you are looking for though. Nowadays I have gone carb. I like the 20r the best but a 22r isn't bad. I also ran the 20r/22r hybrid and it was fun but I don't think it has anything on my current cammed up 20r.

    22R + Weber carbs... what are you experiences wheeling with them good-bad

    I was a die hard aisan carb fan but last year I tried a Weber 32/36, but I did the hill climb mod before even installing it. I have been happy with the amount of tuning I can do a it climbs and descends just as well as the aisan. I ran the vent overflow to a charcoal canister so it absolutely...

    1980 4x4 truck Wheel cylinder replacement

    If you give the axle a good whack on the ground or a wood block, like smack the spline end, you should get a little bit more room. The bearing has a locking collar but there is a little room in there. When you bolt it back up in the housing it all gets pushed into the right spot.

    Wheel offset

    Most of your typical 15x7s look just like that. Rubber just to the edge of your fender but not beyond.

    LC steelies on my truck

    No hub caps. Less is more on a pickup. Also the 90s never had hub caps like that.
