Battery obviously relocated. Exhaust manifold flipped upside down. The oil drain was plumbed into the valve cover rather than deleting the lift pump and going in there. Hope this helps anyone having a go at it. This may not be the best way but it has definitely worked well for years.

It appears it may still be possible to acquire what's needed. Here is a thread that gives some instruction. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/how-to-turbo-a-6-2-using-6-5-parts.43430/ And a few spots for parts I found this morning with a search...

I have a 1009 with a 99 turbo and a couple stock CUCVs. The turbo makes a huge difference. Pretty sure Banks stopped making them years ago. But if you find some for sale, please let us know.

Seems like a fair price if fully functional.

Agreed, if you can chuck it up, aim it downward, and spin it while heating with the torch it works even better.

Welcome back. I just bought a spot about an hour away. Haven't moved there yet but will get there eventually. See ya around someday.

Seems like it would look odd to me but when it comes to personal satisfaction, who gives a shxt what others think. I'm pretty sure all the dorks around here with their foreign cars and loud lawnmower exhausts are thinking the same thing.

While you may have missed the point in my diminishing the hot glue, you have demonstrated it perfectly.

Was hoping this post was forthcoming. Glad it worked out.

If a solution has a long history of success, why pretend it doesn't? If something is too expensive but isn't really expensive at all, why pivot into calling it extra? When people offer advice to others that are asking, why try to trample the advice when theres nothing to gain? If a bolt is...

I've used the same $40 set for more than 10 years. Hardly call that expensive. Have helped friends, neighbors, even a local mechanics shop with them. If you're going to drill out a broken bolt for use with an easy out, why not use a left hand bit? The heat from drilling combined with the correct...

I've had good luck extracting broken bolts with lefthand drill bits.

Nice wheels, hope you get around to showing them off more. Welcome.

This had me rolling!🤣🤣😂

Is there a demand for these panels? (Obviously in addition to the OP need) Looks very easy to replicate and I am looking for things like this to produce.

Both the paint and the powder coating will get chipped by rocks. Only the paint is easy to sand and touch up worn areas.

Well, this will be playing in my head all day long. Thanks? I don't want a pickle.

Gettin real interesting this month.

Napa part# UP-7531-M is what I use.
