Well it was a late night last night and an early morning today, but i finally got the truck running. after replacing the front cover because some moron put on the wrong top gasket and cracked it (not me, previous owner of the junk yard motor), i found that the oil pump was in wrong on top of it all (MORON) some people are just retarded i guess.

anyway, i put it back in with a new cover and pump (put it in the right way) and the truck fired up after 3 cranks, no priming at all. it idles nice and smooth (relativly speeking ofcourse).

now its time to put the rest of the accesories on, and take it to a stag.

nothing like beer to celebrate.

thanks to everyone for all your input along the way

Took something that someone else screw up and gave on and you got it working like it should! Good job.
