Hello from Skaavan in Wisconsin, land of good cheese and bad road salt. I have two dysfunctional trucks that I hope to get one decent truck out of. [/ATTACH] The feb84 4x4 runs and drives,but the rear driveshaft, brake lines, fuel lines, AND FRAME are completely rusted away, so it's front wheel drive, with a 1 quart gas tank and NO brakes.This will be the motor donor for the jul 86 2wd. I'm only in $150 bucks so far, but I still owe $100 on the 4x4. Old blue I got from a friend for $50. He was moving away and couldn't store it anymore. old blue was in a flood a couple years ago View attachment 5040 That's a nice layer of kickapoo gold sediment, and the waterline along the trans bump. So new brakes, bearings, and fluids are on the list. The frame is solid ,from Missouri not Wisco If you haven't pegged me already, I'll let you know, TOTAL NEWB. This will be my first motor swap. This has to be a very low budget project for me. That is my unfinished house, that I must finish, in the background and the camper that my future bride and I have been living in as I work on it. ANYWAY, basic daily rat with personality is what I hope to achieve, I'l start a build thread when I make some actual progress. until then... dig my visors. View attachment 5039
