Well after trying to tune out an "off idle" stumble, I was able to determine that the accelerator pump only delivers fuel sporadically. The electric choke hangs up a lot also. Looks like the carb will be replaced under the crate engine warranty in a week or so. In the meantime, here is short acceleration video from 1500 rpm to 5000. Off idle enough that it doesn't fall on its face. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF5o48NsSbA]Video

The new carb is installed. Huge difference! No stumble, very responsive. No video yet, I have been busy pulling cars out of the woods.

I took the truck on its first road trip yesterday! Round trip was about 150 miles. There was no shortage of camera phones and thumbs up, which is always nice. One guy was gawking so hard he nearly hit the center divider. I drove it to Cars and Coffee in Jacksonville FL. I had never attended before and was expecting 50 cars. It was so big that the police were directing traffic for the 500 or so cars that were there! Also stopped off at an Autocross on Amelia Island, just to watch.
 The truck drove great with no issues other than the lack of side glass and heat

Started the sheet metal work under the doors on the cab. The tubing will serve as the bottom of the rocker panel.
 Also going to rebuild the cab corners.  Temporarily held in place with a piece of angle iron.            Ran out of time, just need to smooth off the tack welds tomorrow  Everything is painted inside and out http://www.BenModified.com
