My latest project..
I bought an 86 Chevy M1008 Military 1 1/4 ton truck without the engine (6.2 Deisel)..I bought a 350ci gas engine to put in it..I wanted to keep it low budget but I wound up having as much in the engine as I did in the truck
 ..Anyway Now all I need to do is drop the engine in and paint the truck (CARC Desert Tan) and that should be done if I can figure out how to wire everything up:confused: ..My new tow rig  Here are a couple before and after pics of the engine and before pics of the truck...Ckick on the pic for a larger view..
