I've been driving the truck I bought at the end of february for $1200 for a few weeks now. It had a bad head on the drivers side. I replaced the head, did both headgaskets, valve seals, and a few other minor things. I will never do that without pulling the engine ever again. I changed all the fluids, replaced the front bumper, and added some gauges. After doing some wheelin' and deelin' on tires, i ended up with these rather than the gaudy 20s that were on it.
Anyway, some buddies and I went up to silver lake this past Saturday. We had a lot of fun, and a lot of breakages.... but not my IDI! It ran for 7 hours straight and burned only 16 gallons of fuel all day. It got 13.5mpg on the highway there and back. (keep in mind it was winding 3k at 70mph - top speed of 82!) I got to pull out a couple of broke chevys. That's always good
Here's a couple pictures of it. I'm anxiously awaiting the broncoswapmeet to (hopefully) find some good deals on a hood and fenders. Next comes new carpet and a king ranch seat. Then paint, haven't decided bcc or single stage yet. But it will be burgundy/tan two tone!
