Do you mean that you plan to swap out the intake manifold to take the carb?
That would be neat to save the factory red paint for the Dodge symbol, will take awhile to mask that out.

Buy a vinyl decal. Lay it out, paint, then pull it up.

no its got 2 injectors in the throttle body so unless the mounting points are different it should b a direct swap.

i never thought about it...would be easier

sadly there is no app for the forum...we'll have to get on the mods about that...

had the truck running the other day. decided to reuse the old mounts since the top halfs were ok. drove it in and out of the garage.

ok i know its been a long time but. i got the fenders on(still need to do some adjusting), all the body mounts are on and tightened down, windshield is getting installed tomorrow(friend is coming out to install it for me).

now the main problem is i had everything working then all of the sudden i lost all the lights.

its not limited to headlights, dash, brake ext...its everything. all the lights. brake ,tails, running lights, headlights, dome and dash lights. the only things that don't work on the truck. truck takes a couple of seconds to start(might be a dead battery) have a code 41 i believe but everything runs fine.

im thinking ground wire or fusible link

Some wire somewhere may have not got hooked up correctly or something shorted out and burnt up the main fuses or something. Good luck.
