Welcome! Nice pickup you got there for a great price with the Weber and header already.

Here's my $225 pickup, but it's motor is no good.

90-B22Dawg the piont is a blast. i could ride the maverick n top fuel dragster all day long! im worse than the kids when im there. lol! i got the truck cheap cause the engine is knockin and tappin. it had its own lil mariachi band under the hood. i pulled the valve cover n found i have the solid rockers not the hydros so i adjusted the lash. tappin gone but the knock has gotten conciderably louder but i still have good oil pressure.(my 14yr old son has nicknamed the truck &quot;hammer time&quot; lol!) ive narrowed it down to the #4 cyl. ive tried to find a bottom end but no luck. its all i have to drive right now so i figure it'll either go or blow. wish me luck.
