you also can't take it on the road if it won't move under its own power. i would also get it running first. you can do the headlights after you do a big burnout.

Sold the passenger front fender, jack and associated wheel changing tools.

I was surprised to discover that the fender is actually welded to the inner fender panel!

Stop making sense. WTF is wrong with you let the kid upgrade his headlights on his dead truck.




Techingeer if you were actually worried about legal you wouldn't convert the truck to a carb.

First thing, I am working on headlights as I am waiting on getting my engine yet. So no sense in sitting around being a lazy idiot.

Second off, converting to a carb is NOT illegal in Iowa. Here's the catches: If the catalytic converter fell off without you touching it (it did), the vehicle is 6 years old or older, and you replace the engine with a engine that that particular vehicle did NOT come with from the factory (i.e., if it came from the factory with a Magnum 360 and you replaced it with a Magnum 318, you replaced it with a nonfactory engine, if you had a 360 and replaced it with a Magnum 360, you still have the factory configuration engine), then you are exempt from emissions controls. So I am still totally street legal with the engine.

And around here the DOT is freak about the lights. They will literally pass a 40 over the speed limit speeder just to get someone with a non-working fender light (no joke, it actually happened).

Third off, what are you implying by "dead truck"? That it will never hit the road again?

Dead truck being one that will currently not start or operate under it's own power.


And chill out, techjockey. Quit being a homeschooler.

I like it too, which is why I call you that.

It is federally illegal to remove any OE emmissions equipment from any vehicle.


Yes dead truck meaning it is currently not alive. No reading between the lines necessary. Haha.

Not like anybody listens to the Fed or like the Fed has any business meddling with what is on our vehicles...
