Amen.

Yes thats true the local purists had a field day with me but for the most part really liked the look of the 1102 bed over the previous 105s that I used. After doing the customary insults all done in fun though anyways good luck I know it will come out beyond the owners expectations..

Your clanking turbo probably has some fins broken off inside they will do that if the engine is frequently shut down with the engine not idled down to dissapate the heat in the turbo. Constant expansion and contraction does nasty things to the thin fins inside turbochargers we had a truck at...

Well John Im see your at it again either work is slow or you have entirely to much energy hold on tight the purists are going to have a field day with you.

Check for a bad injector first let it run and crack the line at the injector and see if it stops knocking this will tell you if its just a simple fix like replacing an injector instead of tearing it all down.

Thanks Tony I have been driving it around today finally able to enjoy it but my back says this is the last one Im tired of hobbling around like an 80 year old after sitting or laying on the couch for a few minutes.

The bed is from an 1102 humvee trailer all aluminum tailgate goes down flat with two cables to hold it level like a pick up tailgate. The trailer came with bows and a tarp when I bought it.

I used type 1 CARC for the base coat on the truck its self and did the black and tan with aervoe rattle cans. Im pretty happy with the aervoe for doing the top colors they spray nice and even and the color is pretty close to the CARC too.

This truck represents many hours of work until dark after I come home from my regular job this is my LAST one I keep saying that but my bad back wont handle another one. I wanted something different to build for myself thats why the 1102 bed its a pain to use them they are kind of like a unibody...
