What's a Parts Guy to Do??

[OGBeno]

And it's off....


It was a sad day today... but it was time to go to a new home.

And I know the new home is going to be perfect for the future of this wonderful piece of my past...

I hope that the new owner retains the Steal Your Face.

Don't worry, it's not going anywhere.

Maaaan, good read! Sounds like it all worked out in the end

 

[HemiAlex]

It looks good. I wish I would have picked up your old tire carrier when I had the chance.

Highly cool. I'm forwarding to Marty (his old truck, owned from like '89- @beno )

Where is the front bumper? It had one last time I saw it!

That's a lot of lift for a spring under truck. What springs?

Also curious about the motor. You had it rebuit, but then sold it, right? So what's powering that truck now?

Glad to see those ugly Ford mirrors are gone.

Just in time for the gas shortage freak out!

I'm the new caretaker of @beno's truck.

Between the fenders it looks like this:

That will be dealt with in due time- there is a 1HZ-T in its future. I'm on @orangefj45's list for a conversion.

The bumper was gone before she came to me, but I will have @reevesci build a front and rear down the road.

The springs are OME mediums, pre-Dakar. They sit a little higher because there is no power plant in there.

Eventually, I will start a build thread when I start to get things done. I'll be sure to keep you all informed.

Former power plant...is going into a future ACC project

As I recall, there are a lot of "last of its kind" parts on this power unit.
