Thanks! it is a good shade of original red and epoxy primer so all my efforts don't rust away in the rainy season (300 out of 365 days)!

Yes. are you talking about the throttle linkage from the pedal to the carb? it is just a cable straight to the carb. I hope that answers it, and if not I can take another look. the smog stuff I just unbolted and took out all the unnecessary stuff and made a block off plate to fill the hole on the manifold. Other than that I just shortened some hoses and fashioned a Y-connector so my power brakes still, you know, braked.

Ok. I have been a sideline fan of ratsun for a while now, and I have finally decided that today is the day when I share my truck. I have had this for 5 years now (got it just before my 15th birthday!), however it has been my daily for the last year or so. I got it from one of my neighbors (a grizzly old Korean vet) who was also my kindergarten teacher's husband. he sold me the truck for $1.00 under the impression that it was kaput. It didn't run, rust, etc., you know the story. However, after about three years of off and on work, here is how she stands as of today: Still have a list of things that I want to change (who doesn't), but I just wanted to finally come and join the party. Thanks for helping me out all these years and now I think it is my turn to contribute.
