    Nice love the bobbed bed. You running the stock carb or a weber .. Ever have any trouble on angels or up down hills ... With stalling or flooding out ...

    thanks, it is a fun truck

    I am still running the stock Aisin carb. I have a weber NIB sitting on the shelf but after rebuilding the stock carb a couple of years ago and running sea foam a couple of times it actually runs pretty good. It runs pretty good except on a steep uphill (past 50 degrees) I would like to convert to propane or go to a dual fuel system sometime.

    Cool rock crawler, but couldn't you have just used a regular truck instead of butchering a rare classic? :(
