Oh hell, that looks like the start of an early '70-72 shortbox 4x4 with a 6.0 LS? Nice!

Once hes done with that truck (thats for my mom, he has a 72 blazer he restored for himself), him and i are going to build a k20 for my son to have way down the road. Im debating on doing a dmax in it or putting in the all aluminum 650hp afr 427 (small block based, not LS) he has from his sand car.

I kinda want to do a dmax and do a wiring tuck like Josh did on that hot rod. Upgrade the turbo and make it a 550-600hp engine. Thought about pulling the limos engine for it but thats way overkill for that truck. I wish they had some different accessory drives though so the engine would show off more

It's got to be diesel. Otherwise you can't show it here except one sub forum ?

Brothers 15 lml said the a/c quit working. Compressor just straight snapped something internally cause there is no movement on gauges and compressor spins with 0 resistance. Soooo big brother gets to fix it

Center shaft spins and is locked to the clutch when engaged. She just said “fuck you” inside i guess. No metal came out of the pump when i drained it. Slapping a napa one on and calling it a night.

I also get to put another compressor on the limo. One i replaced it with is leaking at the body.

Do those newer trucks use a compressor that has an unloader valve?

Let the youngest skip school today to get his fishing on at Lake Silvia. Not bad for a 12 yr old, who can out fish the older guys
