engine covers go on...
Hi,
Spent the day installing my engine covers. Feels good to get this behind me as they were a real pain to install. They still look a little beat up, but after 4 1/2 years of looking at that engine it was time to finally cover it up!
I must say that the engineers who designed the truck tried their best to get the most interior space they could for the occupants.....had to grind off the vacuum plug on the side of the intake manifold just to make the left side cover fit.
After I put on the panel that covers the spark plug opening, I can install the steering wheel and seats for good,(have been driving it sitting on a milk crate)....still have a lot of screw heads to paint.
Had a question: Before sandblasting the covers I noticed the faint remains of a decal located on the right cover next to the data plate. Looked original. Anyone know what it might have been, and is it being reproduced by anyone?
Thanks, David
