If you happen to still have some of the measurements from your install, could you pm them to me, I'm starting the same thing on my '91 runner and need all the help I can get. The only difference is that mine will be streetable and carbed.

This, is, scary.....

My goodness! I really like the Pacific Northwest...

I could visualize myself camping somewhere in my rig in WA. I'm sleeping through the night under the stars w/ my dog. Morning comes and as the sun rises, a thick fog rolls in and all of a sudden my dog starts looking around and becomes silent.

In the distance I hear (but can't see) crackin' limbs and shifting rocks and I begin to sweat, my dogs growling, and then...
...about 300ft away i see this beast rig rise above the fog, one axle flexed out over a 3ft jagged rock...rear trailing. In an dinosaur T-rex like sound, the leafs compress down on the axle clearing the massive boulder. I look in astonishment, my dog w/ his mouth open, motionless as this machine manuvers over impossible obstacles. Then i hear the motor effortlessly working in sync with the churning gears, getting closer, coming straight towards us. Petrified, i clench my 14'bowie, thinking this has to be a deranged local i might of upset going overland. Nearing 50ft, I still can't see the driver from the heavy fog, I only assume the worst. . .
Then, in a sudden flash, a reflective image struck my eye. Recognizable only with my eyes squinted, I am able to barely make out a "Yotatech" forum sticker. . .

...I regain my composure as I know its friendly, He creeps next to me and I notice its fillsrunner4! I tell him how thankful I am that it was him. I offer him a Cinder Cone Red, and I explain the anxiety I just went through, we both laugh & finish our brews.

Great thread!

yeah good old chevy. Cant beat $1500 68k single owner never towed a thing deal though! Im not putting any money into this thing! I do however want the motor out of it in my runner

When I can get a new truck (hopefully soon) for a tow rig, the 350 is staying with me

Aside from the motor the rest of the truck sucks and has so many electrical issues its not even funny!

But again for $1500

Thanks dude
