"Hay maw, you like how I put the turn signals? That's kinda like your idea right? How much you think I could sell it for? Ima throw it on Craigslist."

This is what I see in my mind's eye and i'm like - ewwww.

It's for sale in the OKC Craigslist -$150.

Eww.

Holy crap that's nasty.

Wow... I think I'm going to go have to hug my truck and promise it I'd never do that to it.


My actual intention is to build something similar to the A-bomb center section and build off of it.

Unfortunately no. I'm battling engine issues and have put everything else on hold until I get that sorted out. Not sure why, but I just can't get an intake gasket to seal right.

Having trouble with the gasket shifting while installing the intake manifold?

Keeps spitting the back seal into the engine as soon as I start tightening the center bolts.

affirmative. The second time I made sure to let it tack up good before I put the intake on and it still did it.

Hey' that'll go good with the redneck bumper the PO built on my C20. Makes me wonder what kind of engine he has in that truck, cuz he's obviously pushing freight trains. :shrug:

I call this bumper, Redneck Git'rDone Stop a Freight Train bumper.

Try Prermatex Indian Head. It's pretty wicked stuff put some on the block let it tack put some on the gasket and let it tack install and repeat for the intake side.
