Somewhere around 1993-1995 these pictures where taken before I drove the truck to my brother-in-laws to install a V-8 we were building. (Actually he built it and I watched and turned a few wrenches.) The original straight six was a good old engine, it just wasn’t what I wanted. Shortly after we started the engine swap project both of our work schedules changed and we simply did not have time to continue the project. My brother-in-law finished building the engine, we just never got to the installation part. The truck stayed at his farm until June of 2004.
