So heres the story on my '72 2nd gen, I bought this truck about a year and a half ago. Looked ok in the craigslist ad, dude said he was a mechanic and was trying to get it going for his grandson but he didnt have the $$ or time so it just sat there not running. I went and picked it up for about $800(after paying for a trailer and giving my buddy gas money). Body looked kind straight, some surface rust, the usual rust on the bottom of...

Have a 1991 Longbed pickup with a 22RE running the LCE "tune up" kit and a Doug Thorley header, otherwise stock. Truck had about 132k miles and just recently, it's been making a mechanical grinding or scraping noise.

I've got a stethoscope to try and pinpoint the sound but I can't quite track it. I've pulled all the belts, still there. Pulled the valve cover, t chain and guides look brand new (only 12k miles on em), didn't see any metal shavings in the oil when I pulled the valve...

I've been meaning to tinker with my exhaust for a while - want to change the muffler and need to add clearance over the rear axle so I can lower the truck. Was looking at the rest of the setup and I think I want to redo all after the header so it's more tucked up and not a belly dragger eyesore. My setup: Hedman header, 2.25" pipe, chambered muffler.

Here are a few pics of it as when I got it. Right now I'm working on mounting the bench seat that came with it. It doesn't appear to be the original seat, and the seat brackets do not line up with any of the mounting holes. It was just sitting on the floor.
