Also, I have disc brakes up front, and well adjusted drums in the back, and Warn lockout hubs. All new wiring harness from Vintage Wiring of Maine and 12 volt electrics with 12 volt generator from a later model Power Wagon. Np 420 Transmission with hyperlube in all gear boxes and differentials. I also use a short snorkel air filter (non oil bath) with a K&N element.
I'm going to switch to a 2 bbl Holley carb as soon as I sell some spare parts and come up with the bread.
Very long term project is the truck will get 4.89 gears, 900-20 tires and wheels, and a 4 cylinder diesel with OD 5 speed Spicer Transmission, and power steering.
