[old school truck dude]

What does he do with the extra 2 wires..? 

[rangerwheelinmike]

Put new u joints in the front drive shaft tonight so now that won't clunk, gonna grease it all up tomorrow and my buddy is checkin to see if he has a manifold if so I'm gonna put that on tomorrow and in a week or 2 ranger dave has some goodies for me so those will probably go in along with new Valve springs, gonna round up some diamond plate steel and cut out my old bed floor or atleast what's left of it and weld in the diamond plate then bolt my tool box down find a rollbar and a tonoue cover, and more mods to come

gonna post up some new pics tomorrow, had to take the head off to take it to the machine shop to get 2 studs drilled out and i found out the engine is super clean and bored 20 over heads and intake are gasket matched already so that saves me a good chunk of time, now just a cam n lifter set and gear to gear timing and im set for a while, oh and ive got a 6ft fisher plow that i got givin to me so ima put wings on it and use a winch to raise n lower it, i only need it for my driveway and maybe the neigbors itll serve its purpose
