Ok so fast forward two years.... The truck sat so long that the fuel is obviously bad. The fuel lines in the fuel rails have stated leaking, the fuel pimp died and I noticed a crack in the site of the radiator.
- I learned the radiator is a mid 80s vette unit and it is on order
- New black braided fuel lines with black fittings are being made today
- A new MSD fuel pump and fuel filter are on order from Summit
- I drained the nasty fuel out and it's a horrible job.


I plan to get it running soon! I'm feeling motivated again...


Pulled the radiator...


Removed the leaking, old and dry rotted fuel lines.


Draining some 3+ year old gasoline from the tank

These days of smart phones, I snap my picture and can upload it right then to Facebook and I'm done. To update the forums I can only do it when I come home and transfer all the photos to my computer, resize them, upload them to a photo sharing website, then post the link to the photo here. I will do it, but not all the time.
