The Honcho runs on all 6 cylinders again. I had a nasty vacuum leak that was causing 3 of the cylinders to not fire. Finished up the new-used exhaust today, and fired it up. Plenty of poer, smooth running and no exhaust leaks. I also managed to kill the bulbs in my aftermarket fog lights while wiring them up today. Oh well, they make more. So now I just have to deal with the brakes, springs and a few other things, and I'm on the road. I may take it for a quick spin under cover of darkness this weekend.

Isn't it a great feeling to be able to start your posts by referring to "the honcho" ? I thought so.

:lol: That's awesome. Thanks, I'll be laughing about that every time I look at my truck, and my mustang, and my other truck.

Here is a pic with the lights on. Just have to get one reverse light going, and replace the parking brake for it to be road legal. I've got both rear calbes and the intermediate on order, should be in Tuesday.

I still want to do the springs before driving it though. Which will mean a bit of frame work. Can't decide if I want to run the golden wagon wheels that are on it now, or the Jeep aluminum spke (early G-Wagon style) wheels I have.
