Thats so freakin cool! Wheres our driving video??

 

Very COOL!

Need to address your fuel pressure though. It shouldn't drop off like that. May need a meaner pump/larger lines so it can hold pressure under load.

Congrats! Good Job.

 

Thanks guys! It performs very well. Nice power clear across the board. Very responsive. I did get the fuel pressure taken care of. I had originally thought my pressure regulator was a return style... It was not. I experimented with some different ways of plumbing it to get a return line to the tank. Evidently, the method in the video worked at idle, but not under load. I replumbed it again, and it works great. Solid fuel pressure.

Once everything is tidy, loomed, strapped and bolted down, Ill make another video with a short drive in it.

 

Cool beans. Looking forward to it.

 

Dude, that is pretty sweet. Got any plans to pretty up the body at all?

 

Yeah... Hopefully by the end of the summer, I'll have paint on it. Im going to strip the interior and all the glass out, and do the whole thing. Im going with the original dark metallic green. Debating on a two tone... possibly an off-white cab roof? I figure that would cut down on some of the heat in the cab in the summer. What do you think?

 

I think an off white might look nice. I think the factory Ram color Emerald Green metallic would look nice. Got lots of blue in it and shines very nice in the sunlight.

 

I want to run the main color the same as original, that way under the hood and in between panels all match. I have done a few color changes before on other vehicles, and its a pain. WAY easier to reshoot original color. The accent color can be anything else though, being as it wasn't a factory two-tone, it doesn't matter. Any other ideas for a 2nd tone? Trying to lighten it up to cool the interior in the summer.

 

are you sure your truck is dark metallic green and not a medium green metallic?

 

I believe you are correct. I think in '78 it was called "Medium Green Sunfire" That is assuming that I am looking at the correct code. This is one of the only links I was able to find something that looks like what I have: http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcod...r&smodel=Dodge
