Nice! Your engine is still sitting safely waiting for ya! Take your time bro!

Hey, I'll tell ya some parts I need... I need the parts for a hatch on the Kammback. I have the glass, but nothing else. I need the hinges, latch and all that good stuf. I also need the tail lights and trim.

And lastly... a Sprit grill... the cross style. If you find one of those... you'll not only be my best friend, but my hero. Especially if the prices aren't whack.

[truckboy13]

I can get you the kammback stuff i think itll be off the rusted out one. its still in good shape the hatch is anyway. I can get lights and stuff too. and for the spirit grille ill have to make some calls and some emails there bud. I can get one but it may be a while.

[Mavericke]

Oh yeah and on that Kammback... I need a rear piece of glass... the driver's side back window.

If I get those things from you... then I'll have everything I need to totally restore the rarest Spirit there is! Woot!

[truckboy13]

So mav if everything goes the way we want it to then we shouldnt run into any "surprises" when putting in the engine. Once this engine is in i can actually sleep better knowing that there isnt a rod knock going on. and people will quit giving me crap about the rod knock lol.

as far as Kammy parts go you need: the rear hatch hinges,the drivers side back glass,Tail lights, and trim. By trim do you mean the trim around the tail lights and do you just want the entire kammback hatch. Either way itll be a trick getting that in/on top of the eagle.

[Mavericke]

Ill take the entire hatch glass if it's a decent price... but I really only need all the pieces attached to it including the latch and hinges.

About the trim... yes, I need the lights and the trim that surround them.

And don't forget about fog lights!

LOL!!!!!!!

Hey, one of you can just add an "s" and have a "Dessert Eagle"... yummy!

[truckboy13]

lol. well i guess there is nothingwrong with 2 desert eagles. although mine is called that because Ive always wanted to go to the desert out west. its the first place im going to when I graduate college. Ive wanted to since i was a kid and I dont know why lol. I did see pics of yours and i gotta say you have given me some ideas not to mention its just plain cool. Mav would like it.

so I got my new CB antennas. they are 12 feet tall but by the time tuning and all that is done they will be between 9 and 11 feet tall. new radio goes in sunday. new engine next saturday. going t be a good week. I will ahve pics of the antennas and engine install and probably a write up on the engine install as well as for any other CB Eaglers on the radio and what/ how I did everything. I may have a pic of my antennas just a sec..... cool it worked. ok the one on the left is my 102 inch whip. the 2 on the right are my new ones. 12 feet long, 1/4 inch outside diameter, stainless steel.

[Mavericke]

Nice... Im looking forward to you setting my truck up with a bad@ss CB setup!

PS - make your bed and clean up your dang room! LOL!

[truckboy13]

Ill set you up with an awsome cb set up trust me. It may not be when i come out thisweekend but deffinately will. i will have to pick up my other engine that we pull out. My new radio is in but the new coax isnt run yet and there is not power to it yet. it startd to rain yesterday on andoff so thas about all the farthest we got with it. My friend knows alot more than me about CB's so ill ask him whats the right antenna,radio, coax ect. for the job. chances are you probably dont want an amp.

and yes my bed is theone against the wall and i did make it shortly after the pic was taken lol.

Im getting new plugs,wires,fuel flter,PCV valve, cap, and rotor today. If you can try to get my the numbers on the engine block. It may help with the timing chain. I still cant figure out which one. Im going to go ask again.
