HwyKng281's 1994 Pickup Build-Up Thread

I bought a 94 Toyota pickup from my cousin that overheated it on the freeway. I had the truck towed to Beaver Toyota and had one of my techs check it out. It looked like it had a blown headgasket. My cousin did not want to fix the truck as he has a baby on the way and needs a bigger vehicle. I ended up buying the truck and having one of my techs tear it apart. We found the headgasket was blown but one of the cylinder walls was scored pretty bad. We Sent the motor out had it cleaned up and honed installed new pistons and rings. We started to assemble the motor tonight. Here are some of the pics. Ill get more pics up of the truck and other things as we go. The truck is getting all new seals and gaskets, fuel filter, clutch with all bearings, Ive already installed frt brakes. The truck had some lil 225 tires i bought some used 235 mud tires with great tread for 200 bucks.
I went to the store and bought some paint for the block, at first i was thinking the traditional black but opted for some Bright Neon Green paint. The monster trucks are comming to town and i guess i was pumped to see Grave digger so i decided on the paint. I think it looks pretty cool.
