    Let's swap a motor and do some other stuff to a 60....

    Going to give this thing a go on the 60.....bought it for another truck but it will fit with the 1HDT’s manifold on the 1HZ. It comes with an adapter so it can fit directly on the 1HZ manifold which is pretty cool. Ball bearing turbo....has the right specs...we’ll see how it does.

    Bought a tool box to match this truck.......not exactly :) Just a weird coincidence. Now maybe I should find one to match the 60....

    Thanks for this....I bought one and man it’s cool. Legit now.

    Let's swap a motor and do some other stuff to a 60....

    I have been running the truck without glow plugs but started to notice the cranking time taking a little longer as we aren’t as blazing hot these days as we are during the summer in FL. Came up with a cool little out of the way spot for the fuse and solenoid to run them. Hooked it up to the...

    No idea on if the other trim is available....easy enough to find out though. For sure the trim has to be in the gasket before it goes in. My guy assembled everything, then put it in the truck....went back with liquid butyl and sealed it all up between the gasket and the body and the gasket...

    Let's swap a motor and do some other stuff to a 60....

    Exactly how I’ve felt over the last 2 weeks. I feel much better now though....especially since I’m driving the 60 again. I’ve got to dig out the rain gutters next and seal those up.....same thing....silver sealer first, then we use a self leveling caulk that does an amazing job of keeping...

    New window.....amazingly clear. I’ll have to get some Llumar Air80 back on it next week to keep that UV out of the interior. Air80 is amazing stuff.....and it has that cool blue look to it. Love the chrome trim :) Weirdo dog sitting in a weird spot. We’ve been spraying engine blocks with...

    Let's swap a motor and do some other stuff to a 60....

    I wanted to do a solid patch job without going too far on this project. With all the rust we encounter, we clean it, prep it and then lay on the Master Series Rust Sealer. This stuff is what miracles are made of. For the areas with holes, I used our normal trick of filling them up with...

    Let's swap a motor and do some other stuff to a 60....

    Quick update on this project....took her off the road for a couple of weeks. Felt bad for the other trucks that were getting neglected since the 60 was getting ALL the love. The front windshield on this truck was hammered.....barely was able to see thru it with a low in the sky sun. I’ve...

    Let's swap a motor and do some other stuff to a 60....

    So the question became how to slow this rust in the frame down. On our body off restorations, it’s easy....clean, clean, clean again then slop in some Master Series rust sealer and drag a rag thru the frame rails....back and forth, back and forth. Lots. Body wasn’t coming off the 60 and...

    Let's swap a motor and do some other stuff to a 60....

    When we started on this truck at the beginning of the year, we found a ton of dirt in the frame....we messed around with trying to use a vacuum to get out some of the packed in dirt but I knew we would need to flush it out. Last week we used our pressure washer and a trick 90 degree attachment...

    Let's swap a motor and do some other stuff to a 60....

    This truck has turned out to be so far above my expectations, I’m still in shock about how much I am in love with it. I’ve driven it nearly every day for 6 months. There’s not any other truck I want to drive in my collection. I feel bad for them :( The Holley bulb is made by Morimoto. I’m...

    Thanks....it was a fun one. Great truck.

    Surprisingly it wasn't as white knuckled of a ride as I was prepared for. Truck felt stable. Kind of figured body panels would just start flying off at 90 but they didn't. Ha. Straight and flat section of road....not sure I'd want to make any slight turns at those speeds with this thing :)

    Next week I'll hit 100 in it :) Kind of cool to see the speedo needle WAY past 85. Lol.

    Let's swap a motor and do some other stuff to a 60....

    Quick update......I have not driven another truck since the last update. I'm in unchartered waters......I've never driven something this long without mixing in another one. Pretty safe to say, I'm in love with this truck. It's perfect. It's so good, it's going to make me do something with a...

    Nope.....zero loyalties....as long as there is food at the end of the drive, that's what matters :)

    And maybe one of my favorite things......I bought an old dirty tool bag with all the tools in it, cleaned it in my ultrasonic cleaner(bag and tools) and stuffed it under the seat. I can rest easy now :) Anyone know if there is a rubber band hold down thing for the 60s? Thought I read that a...

    Let's swap a motor and do some other stuff to a 60....

    Filled up my first tank....well topped it off actually. 226 miles(corrected for 13% speedo error)....used 14.2 gallons so 15-ish or so miles per gallon. Certainly not anything to write home about BUT(maybe though....compared to a 2F it's incredible :) )....this was all stop and go and I was...

    Let's swap a motor and do some other stuff to a 60....

    Been putting miles on the 60.....really liking this thing. The power of the 1HZ turbo is impressive.....no more getting passed by EVERYONE.....this truck goes. Excellent power delivery.....sounds cool too. Hoping to top off the tank this weekend so I can check MPGs. Thinking it will probably...
