feel free to post a comment ;)
tips are also welcome
lot of work done today, the bed is off the dodge :)
it does need a lot of attention , but that's for later on .
now it's up to remove the open cab and than the 223 engine.
will post a lot of pics tomorrow from the progress ;)
little question;
is there a maintanence/overhauling manual for the T-214 engine?
did manage to find two bare t214's in to restore state and a bunch of extra's like fuel pump etc.
grtz
yoeri
btw , right bed is off, still need 2 bolts to come out and the rest ( left bed , wooden floor boards...
and the engine bay almost open....
i'm always on the lookout for the dodge wc64KD upper box and the rear doors ( already have a nos door for between the kd and the open cab and 2 window regulators for both the front door and middle rear door).
another photo, from the front of the dodge :) (seems the photo is in the wrong direction , but good on my pc ?)
some parts are already taken off on the photo.
when all is stripped and repaired it's off to the zincblaster and metalizing.
i'm going to do the paint myself
at the front...
Drivetrain is complete , only the engine is a 223.
I do have a 214 ready for restoration.
she only has some metalwork at the rear.
