It is bagged with 2500 lbs Contitech bags in the front and 2600 lbs Contitech's in the rear. I am running a VIAIR 450 compressor feeding a 5 gallon tank. 4 1/2 inch herion valves, Ekstensive 2 link and two switches. It also has true Buick Park Ave portholes in the fenders and Iron cross motorcycle style mirrors. The wheels are 17 inch Escalade wheels with 205/40's

Yes that is Garth's(greenchevy94) old truck. I'm trying to clean it up a little bit. I pulled the tint, changed the wheels, put the switches in a DUB Escalade and I am slowly starting to clean up and redo the interior. Thanks for the love on the Eskies, I think they look a lot better than the moons(even though the moons didn't look bad). I told Garth about them and he told me not to ghetto it up.

In h.s. I had an 82 1/2 ton just like that except 2WD and all tan and lowered. (So not really like that one.) I always wanted to have my lowered one and a 4WD lifted to park next to it.

On the dash. We got a Nissan here call the N13 Pulsar. It was built here so i think it was domestic only to us. It was fitted with the Family II motor with delco 808 efi. The TBI 1.6L and the PFI 1.8L.

In Japan they made the 2 door EXA version fitted with the CA16 and or CA18 motor. They also had the sedan version id say in budget trim and ive also heard of the "langley GT" ive seen one pic and it looks to be the same body as we got. Perhaps you got it, id say you go the exa at least.

Ive pulled a few of theses pulsars to bits. Fixed a few up and sold them on. Ive got one here that i was stripping ot go off for scrap, i measured between the door pillars and it comes up the same measurement within a few mm of the KB luv.

Im going to fit the EFI off one of these Family II motors to the G161Z in the truck. One problem ive got is the speed sensor the Pulsar has and electronic speedo with just a sender on the box to drive the speedo and send a signal to the ECU. My idea was to use the instrument pannel in the luv and its electronic speedo and the tacho. Since i found out about the dash witdths being similar ive decided to have a go at fitting the entire dash. It wont be easy but i want to use the full air-con and heater setup, im going to cut the firewall out of the wreck before it goes off for scrap. Im thining at the moment it will be easier just to gut the truck out and use the whole wiring loom etc out of the donor car that way i get the relays and fuse box etc.

Enough crap, to cut it short, the (N13) Nissan dash is the same width. Heres a Pic.

Its not a good pic but you get the idea.
