Well, I'll give a quick run down of this project... starting out with my being gifted an 89 pickup that had been stripped for body parts (no doors, fenders, rad support, etc) and had a 22re with some serious knocking issues. But I have heard the truck run before knock, and knew that it was a working motor. I then bought an 87 xtra cab sr5 with a 4inch IFS lift, this truck was a few colors, but had very very minimal rust, plus it had all the bells and whistles, sun roof, power everything, cargo light, rear window defroster and so on. This truck came with a ford 302 that someone had attempeted to install (it was a mess)
So i pulled the motor on the 87 and got it ready for paint
The cheap paint I bought did some werid stuff... i will never spray single stage silver metallic EVER AGAIN.... but it actually ended up with a neat effect the I have recieved compliments on... go figure
