    it's how you do it and present it that makes you so entertaining and fun to watch. You can do the same thing over and over again and wouldn't bother me a bit, it's the fun factor you bring into it, plus I learn bunch of shit to is why I keep coming back for more. Thanks my man.

    I'm envious of that seemingly never ending back yard that Puddin has at his place... I'd put up a really tall privacy fence around the whole thing and build a nice shop building back there. Even with that you'd still have all kinds of outside storage for every Datsun and mini box truck you come across.

Although both of my trucks have found new homes, I am happy to see all the Couriers you've found are finding life again in your Box Truck Mafia! Still.... I'm waiting to see what you do with that Mazda Sundowner! The diamond of your Japanese minitruck collection! It always made me laugh that all the Ford Couriers from the 70's to 80's were made by Mazda and then all the later models of Mazda trucks were made by Ford. The Mazda versions of the trucks always had the better stylings! Anyhow, THANK YOU for the videos and I hope you keep having fun! Happy to see your style thriving in the mini-trucking community! Lowered box trucks! Low, Slow and ready to Move! Cheers!

    That continued “run-on” is likely the anti dieseling solenoid on the carb.

    On one occasion, it kept running fuel through the carb during shut down and I had the cat explode, enough to where it shot material out the exhaust!

    Did you, by chance, check the timing belt? The fact it puffed out the carb, it may have jumped a tooth. One way or other, you might want to change the timing belt since it has been sitting a long time and the belt is probably pretty crunchy by now. No sense in getting it running just to have the valves and pistons doing the tango.
