This is my truck. It's an '86 B2000 which I bought from my Dad for 1K. It will soon get a paint job, and luxury in the cab is after that, but first Im rebuilding the engine from the head up. I blew my head gasket and 2 valve stem seals so Here I'm digging in.
Here is my truck

After replacing valve seals, and putting it back together!! notice the bolt missing on top of the rocker arms.... that was my hold up(waiting for new bolt from the mazda dealer), I torqued the bolt too much and broke it off in my head. I had to drill it and remove it and thankfully I didnt mess up the threads.

I got it running and I will post pictures soon of what it looks like in the sunlight (not much to be proud of but what the hell)
