I recently snatched up a couple of 1981 Isuzu Pup/Chevy LUV Pickups. They look like Jesus might have driven them, even tho they are from 1981...
They run great tho. But with over 250,000 miles, I think a preventative overhaul is in order.
I've got 4 of the C223 Diesel Engines. Two running (in the trucks), 2 unknown but supposedly very close to running. I also got 2 extra transmission, both from the gasoline version of the vehicle. One is 2x4 the other has 4x4. 3 of the bolt holes line up, the starter is in the wrong place, but I'm sure this can be 'augmented.' I think one of the trucks is going to lose #5 gear shortly. All Manual, of course.
I've never taken on an automotive task this large before. I wanted to check if someone here was nearby and might be willing to serve as a floatation device if/when I get in over my head? I'm in Citrus County, FL. I need to square this away before I can buy me a Lister!
It's probably easier than I think it is. I always assume the unknown is above me. I screw up less that way. ;-)
