Bean's Truck

So, she's naked. Bean over the past year has been pursuing his perfect truck. So far he's been through a few different rigs. Rust and horrible gas mileage have led to the purchase of this ride. It's a '95 shortbox. That means it was fuel injected when it was stock. The previous owners stripped the computer and put in an eighties monte engine, a 350 v8 to be exact. The older more bad-ass style with a 5-speed conversion too. It was on the road for a short time but wasn't running just right. A look under the bonnet revealed that some of her valves weren't even moving. Some of the nubs on the cam shaft were entirely worn down.

I think these are called lifters. as you can see a lot of them spooned out badly. The joke by Corey was he had a gas saver cam, or maybe a hybrid v8. Either way, a new cam and other parts are in the mail and possibly tomorrow the reconstruction can begin. Kevin can do the job with his eyes shut, so hopefully with his eyes open he'll be able to slap the thing back together in no time. Expect many videos of us driving like morons in this hot rod as soon as it's done. Also we should have some more pictures of the rides up.
