Dirtfloorfab's 88 swb extra cab Build up Thread

OK So I got this truck its an 88 reg cab pickup 5 speed 22re truck pretty common the frame is about the best I've personally seen in michigan which doesn't mean much lol....well here is a pic
I have been trying to fix all the problems before I start the build it leaks oil, coolant, the brakes need work and the passenger side cv axle is shot so I bought some lucas engine stop leak a new radiator and a new cv axle so far and I've been working on it weekends with the gf.bought a new set of aluminum rims I've heard you can feel a difference on these little trucks my plan is to convert the reg can frame to fit an ext cab I found mainly because of my size I'm sure this will be a slow build and I will have lots of stupid questions I'm sure so thanks for watching, Zeth

45* elbow from spectre is what i've used and what others have used as well. That being said you can use a bunch of different stuff from the hardware store pvc, rubber hose water pipe supplies and it's AFM not MAF when you search for it later for reference that'll help.
