Nice, some work needed, but it's fun and you will feels great when you do the work your self. Keep us post and pictures.

 

Rathes is in colechester.

Gates is expensive. I work in Hardwick and go in there from time to time....

 

Colechester is far away. ANd i always go to barre from newport and gates is on the way. but i try not to go there. Id rather buy something new, there usualy the same price.

 

So i think i found out why it wont start. The ignition is really funky. Today i cranked it and it tried to turn over but it wouldnt. I think its got some old gas in it. Going to pick up a new ignition tomorrow and hopfully that will fix the problem

 

Heres some bad pictures better ones tomorrow.
Im thinking new seat?

 

What do you need for parts? I have a 88 for parts, whole trk w/ flatbed. gonna pull the transfer case for a doubler because its a top shift. It runs but has a bad head gasket.

Driverside is a little beat

This summer you will have to go wheeling with Rattlewagon and me! His trail truck is in Royalton, which is right next to Bethel.

 

I need the drivers side window. and that font bumper. and if the gauge cluster has a tach that. how much for them all? Also does the cab have any holes in the floars? if it doesnt id be interested in the whole thing.

 

Just cut the rust out and lay down some sheet metal? not worth swapping a cab for a few holes!

 

nice starting point, saw it on craigslist a couple of times.

 

THe truck wont start it will turn but wont start. Dont know whats wrong with it. Gona have to look in to it. I think its a carb problem.

 

Well started on the Head gasket today. Things have been crazy and havnt had any time to work on the truck. Got the carb off too to do a rebuild. Going to take some pics next time i get over there. Hopefully it will be done this weekend.

 

So havnt been on here in a long time. Havnt had a lot of time to work on the truck. but this weekend i got the head off. And its cracked. F***. But i have a friend that has a complete head from a 22re. WIll it work on my 22r? do i need to change anything? Doesnt the re use a different fuel pump? and is 80 bucks a good deal on a head that has the cam and everything there ready to bolt on? let me guys know

 

Heres some info on the head swap, looks like they say its a no go.

I have the 85 up block so it should work right? anyone ells want to chime in? i want to stay with the carb. i DON'T want to switch to efi. just want to use the head. arnt the fuel pumps different? that would be the only thing i could think of thats different.

 

You have the single row timing chain right?
Do you have a mechanical fuel pump?

im not very educated on 22rs.

 

Yes. Its the single row.

 

here is an amazing thread to read through.

from what i read its possible but i would double check yourself. haha

i hope this helps.

 

Thats for switching to efi.(thanks for the response tho) i want to stay carbed. and i have a mechanical fuel pump. thats the only thing that i think would be different.

 

Post #25, and #29-#31 has the info you need. the pistons are the same, and the head will bolt up. From the first page it seems that the intakes will swap. From post #31 you can see that cams are different (from what i understand). Post #25 says you can swap cams though.

i would just put a fuel cell in it with an electric pump... That way you get the tank out from under the truck and eliminate the fuel pump problem.

 

Okay so i think i have everything figured out. The 22r and 22re heads are the same after 1985. But my only question is, is what do i do for a fuel pump? (i'm kind of a noob so dont kill me)
