Nice. I have been looking for a decent and decently priced short bed for a while!

Beautiful stance. What are the wheels and tire specs?

295/50/15 on the rear
235/50/15 on the front I think
The wheels are unknown other than the rears are ten inch wide.
This is the way I purchased it
I just blew out the fuel pump
At least I hope that’s what it is
The fuel no Getty to carb so I can only assume it’s the pump
If not the pump I’ll be needing to research the issue more from the pump back
I also received my Cvf racing kit in today
This kit mounts the ac compressor I’ve bought. I also received my ac underdash system
So I should be don’t with this by Monday
I’d like then to try my converter install. This stock converter works great but I’m wanting to rid myself of two issues. The massive rpm drop from park to drive. And the truck trying to push through the brakes while idling in gear
Which me luck

Which me luck As far as the fuel pump goes, I have had rubber lines at the tank crack before so the pump couldn't pick up the fuel. When you disconnect the tank line from the pump, put a little air pressure in it and crawl under to listen for a possible leak. Since you are taking that line loose either way, it doesn't take long to check.

Gotta be the pump or in the fuel system leading to the tank
I have the pump on it now
Just gotta find out if it works now. The fuel filter is cruddy. Like there is trash in the tank
I fear it’s blocked in the tank at this point
I’m not able to blow air through the line due to the position of the truck
So that idear is out for now. Soon as I get the ac comp mounted I’ll test this pump
But when I removed it I got very little fuel out of the feed line

I got it done
Here are some updated pics
Confessor core is also mounted and the underdash unit too. I’m going to start work on the hoses and the dryer next

Tossed on some stock valve covers
I like this look better than chrome

Got my ac up and running today
Going to go with a higher amp alt to help it charge better at idle though
Voltage drops to 12.3 when at idle with the ac on
