Awesome find!! Looks like you are putting your individual stamp on it right away. Such a blast to see. Keep us in tune.

Looks good. What did you do for the charcoal canister fix? Mileage? What suspension?

 

[MACFJ60]

X2 on the suspension. What are you running?

 

[rrv333]

Long lost cousin's in the same garage! Really nice 40 and 60 you have there

 

[yarrie303]

love it! just curious what rpm do you run now on the highway, say going 70 mph? Really thinking about a H55F as it seem like minimum highway speed is 70mph out here in CO.

Cheers,
Mark

i would fill the tank port up with pb blaster let is sit a day and hit it with compressed air. i did this several times, it may be only temporary but it is working now.

i will post up alot more pics later but the truck has 262 on the clock. from what i was told it was garage kept most of its life and the interior proves that. it is super clean. i went with the full ome kit on suspension.
