Building my self a E30 truck

[TheRealE30kidd]

So I got the truck running but the top end was knocking super loud. With farther investigation it looks like the cam lob is completely worn down at least a 1/8 of a inch. So later in the week ill pull the head and replace the cam and address the lack of oil in the top end.

On anther note I picked up a rear roll bar. It will add alot of structural support that was cut out. It actually fits perfect.



I also removed the god awful wheels and put some basket weaves back on.

Just figured out the missfiring problem and she's alive. Needs a valve adjustment but alive.

^ you got a build thread for that?

[White325is]

looks like the older s10 window setup worked well for you. I used the generation after that for my build..
A few photos of mine. I like the extended version of yours though.

[TheRealE30kidd]

Yes, surprised no one's done it yet. It wouldn't be that hard.

Only difficult part it's Figuring out what to do with the taillights

I grabbed a Lincoln welder last night. I'm going to grab some clamps and start welding.

What kind of lincoln? I got the 140hd weld pak grabbed a tank of C02/argon 75/25 and couldnt be happier. Hope you got gas or you wont weld anything though.
