Very nice pictures and build!! keep up the good work

 

You made that 82/83 grill looks like it came that way. Nice little trick there. Great looking little truck you have.

 

Thanks everyone!

So my truck started over-heating today. It scared me pretty bad on the interstate, needle got up to the red so i pulled off.

Coolant was boiling out of the over-flow bottle onto the ground. I let it sit and filled it back up and drove home. Once i got home it started over-heating again.

So i'm thinking the T-stat is stuck shut, or i have a huge clog in the rad. The hose from the rad to the water pump is cool to the touch, (shut off for 30 minutes) the hose from the T-stat to the rad is still hot!

I am looking at a dual stage T-stat, just wondering if the part # is the same for the 22r motor.

Any advice for a newb?

 

Nice truck

 

Well its been awhile! with school in the way and a unexpected head gasket failure ive been slacking on the updates.

I finished the head gasket and got the truck running decent enough, to drive up to DC to do some wheeling

 

I also started to chop my 2wd bed to bob it!
