WOOOO page 2 haha
Thanks. There are a few things that I need to fix on it before its perfect. The clutch needs to be adjusted and there are some in cab wiring issues that I need to fix. But overall it runs great, we are thinkin about doin a EFI swap. The old man is tryin for mileage out of it. I dont think its gonna get wheeled like it did when I had it. Its mostly gonna be his DD.

Clutch pedal needs adjustin. It engages a little quickly. I would also like to give props to APR. Engine runs like a top and I am happy with it.

Got the clutch adjusted. It was the master cylinder push rod. It was too far adjusted in toward the floor and needed to be turned out like 10 or 12 threads. Its runnin way better now.

We took that oil guage off. But that wasnt the reason we were gonna sure APR, that guage was on the motor we built before we got the one from APR. The first motor we got from them had problems (reasoning behind the suing) and they swapped us out for another, that so far is doin great. I thought about buyin another from them for the 87 but the price went up and I can't afford it.

Thats a M1919A4
Thanks! I keep tellin the ol man to do it but he says that he hauls too much stuff to go campin and wheelin. I told him to at least look into gettin a BETTER lookin bed or even a 2wd bed. SOMETHING else would look much better. The funny looks from the Yota lovin hotties would stop too hahahaha. (Those will stop as soon as I get the 87 runnin anyway haha)
