Update! Upgrade! Lots of pics!
ok so it has been a busy month so far, first i installed the hughes plenum plate, 180 stat and felpro intake gaskets, it really wasnt as hard as i was making it out to be, it took me about 3-4 hrs to remove everything, clean it and paint it. about 2 hour to reinstall it all.
drove the truck for about a week then my msd ignition came in the mail, installed the coil, wires and plugs. only took me like 1.5 hrs
after drivng for about 20 miles i was loving the restored power from fixing the plenum and the upgraded ignition. i still have to pull all the plugs and open them up another .005"
about 3 days later my 3" coil spacer arrived, so i installed it the next day along with some 315/75/r17. this took me and two buddy about 3 hrs. with smoke breaks and beer breaks included. really wasnt hard at all, and ive never done anything to a vehicles suspension.
then i had to wash the truck and noticed all the rust on the front and rear axles, so i decided to sand and paint them and the drums and calipers, now the mud just washes right off! lol
thats when i noticed all the rust in my bed, so i sanded it all down bought a sand blaster gun and some truck bed liner and sprayed it on in my drive way.
my truck now looks bad a$$, and i love it, now i just need a sct and 4.56s, cause now its a dog on the road. any ways tell me what yall think.

yeah i used herculiner on my last truck and it was peeling within a week. this time i used duplicolor.
it was actually too thich to spray out the sand blasting gun so i bought a can of semi gloss enamal and diluted it a little.
and heyyou yes it does feel pretty damn good. after i did the plenum i knew i could tear apart this 318 and not be afraid.
but i couldnt have done it if it wasnt for all of yalls advicce so THANK YOU DF
