Normally I agree with the body color engine compartment, but I think the blues would clash and not look good together.
I thought about doing satin black too, but I want the blue metallic to pop in the engine compartment.
What are the long term plans with this rig? It is really cool to follow. Is it coming down to AZ in the future at all or is it staying up north for a while yet?
Where is the standard location for one without the spare tire carrier? Side note, Chunk is going to look so good with a tire carrier, you need to get him down to you.
That's interesting. I would have guessed that more full clusters would have been in manual rigs because the tach doesn't matter as much in an auto, but it also makes sense because, in my experience, autos usually have more/better options.
The motor in my 89 gave up at 163k and change. It was not well maintained though. It had way too much oil in it when I gave it its first oil change and the oil was thin, probably from additives trying to quiet down the knock.
Well, my truck is sitting with no engine, transmission, transfer case, or most of the engine wiring right now. It didn't happen on the road though, so that's a plus.
