    Installed my new engnbldr head today after blowing the headgasket and warping the head a few weeks ago. The new head was less than the repairs would have been to fix the old one. New timing chain/oil pump/water pump from them went on too. So nice to have new clean parts to put on.

    How much would you want for one of those 22r heads?

    Nice! I'll keep a lookout on updates.

    Jerico, thats awesome. Keep that photo around. Show him when hes older that he learned early. I have ones of me working on stuff when i was like 3.

    SD, truck looks good. Like all the chrome and white. You should hunt down some cooler hub caps though, maybe some old metal ones from the 70s.

    Today I walked past my truck a few times. Haven't worked on it since i took the head off on the 5th. Cant find inspiration to do anything until it runs again. Hopefully be back in it by the end of the month.

    yea i have had people literally follow me to my destination to bug me about selling my truck, and I even had a guy come into my tattoo shop and basically demand I sold it to him. he just had this attitude, like I was a dumb punk who didnt know what he had or something.

    :lol: nah... looked like old retired navy guy.. admired how clean it was. he took another try and offered 4500 but im not looking to sell. gave me his number and told me if i changed my mind to give him first crack at it....

    thinking about it, if someone offered me $5000 i dont think id sell it still..... its worth more to me than a quick sell. i think if he'd of offered me around $5500 i would of thought about it pretty hard... :evil:

    Just what I was thinking. Pull the rope forward and the truck gets lower. Floor it and it lifts. I dig it.
