Sam and I changed the upper and lower kingpins on the pass. side today, gonna do the drivers side next weekend hopefully

[Blazin40s]

Got the carb rebuild kit and new spacer in from Summit.  Now to see if we can't make the secondaries work for this year.  That should help free up some ponies

Vibrations go away?

[Blazin40s]

There better/masked with the real tires on it, so I'm gonna worry about it after tgw.  Gonna do a s.y.e. on my 208 with some dodge parts and see if the xtra length will gimme better angles.  My rear pinion is 2 degrees off, but I can't get any more pitch w/o messing up my angle on the dshaft u joints.

Trucks not running right.  Keeps backfiring thru carb, did compression test and it was at 150psi in all the cylinders.  Gonna throw a new chip in the distributer and prob throw a buddies carb on to see what's goin on.

[Blazin40s]

Got the carb issues all straightened out.  Could prob jump up a few jet sizes, but I'm not gonna mess with it till after tgw.  But on a good note, the 4bbls are opening for the 1st time ever.....deff seems to help a lil bit.

Gotta do last minute carb tuning b4 tgw.   Can't wait tho.  Hav nt gotton to test out the new suspension yet.

[Blazin40s]

Ran great at TGW.  I love the new rear suspension, and havin 4barrels!

[Blazin40s]

Finally did some engine compartment mud proofing today.  Way over due LOL.  Hope to test it out next Saturday.

[Blazin40s]

Well, this truck got totalled by some dumb chick who rear ended me.  Just picked up an 87 that barely has any rust.  Still has factory paint on the frame.  Let the build begin.

New Body Is Cleeeeeeeeean Can't Wait To See It In Person

[Blazin40s]

Got the front clip, motor, trans, what's left of the tcase,  and drive shafts out.  Rear shaft seems to be straight.  Trans isn't broken, just the adaptor plate to t case.  So have most of what I need.  Might need one 16.5 x 9.75 rim. 8 lug.
