With the truck finally in a reliable derivable state (or so I thought, but more on that later), I could finally carry on with the cosmetic changes I want to make.
I used lamp tinting film to tint the rear lights and front indicators to make the truck look more sleek and fall in line with the blacked out look.
Here are some pics with the tint, brake lights on and indicators on.

With the truck looking and running sweet I started driving it more often. But, every hundred odd miles the plugs foul and she sputters and chokes like an untrained porn star. Okay, maybe we had dud plugs. I replace all of them again, and low and behold. One hundred odd miles, plugs fouled again.
Okay, so I have given this 36 DCD carb a good go prior and I have to admit that I'm out of my depths here. Off to carburetor overhaul city we go. They charged me $95 for a complete rebuild. Look how pretty she is now!

Next on the menu, drop plates. Hopefully when I post again, nothing has broken and I can continue with the cosmetics. These plates on both sides will drop the pickup about 1.5 inches at the rear. I always love a leveled out truck.
