Congrats, nice truck....looks like you can just get in and drive it! You going to drive it home or have it shipped?
-
looks like a driving trip
no heater either
wife gets to drive that "stock" motor home
-
Chrome bumpers and a grill , differnt wheels, and thats about it t o make that real presentable, without the chrome there is just too much red.
ive got a 62 chevy 2wd shortbox fleetside thats in the works too.
-
Looks good, agree with serious, but when you chrome the bumpers shave the bumper bolts.
i've got a c20 at a friends farm she just bought i might be bringing home, great body, nice patina, no rust...
-
Those are great lookin trucks. Nice grab!
-
Nice! Instant Gratification... definetely worth it when you can pull it out of your garage whenever you want!
-
dont know if i will miss it or not
hope the truck is a good one!!
-
The bike kicks ass. But if you are like me I didn't hardley get a chance to ride for the last two years so I sold mine this fall. Don't miss it yet. I think your roadster will help you through the tough times.
:)
-
proabbly gonna miss my first chopper build.
:roll:
but still got a 99 Dyna Wide
and a Honda shadow 1100
both are pretty weill accesorized
was going well in my life till I started looking at hot rods at Sturgis and that drove me over the edge actually was that cat radiator flathead car that got me torked up and then I went nuts looking for cars on my last hurrah
-
took 10 days a LOT OF $$$$,
a new assortment HF tools to fix truck
only 1 a arm fell off on NY tollway
went through 3 snowstorms on way home, nothing like a front end overhaul in motel lot!!!
got some help from a member of a Buffalo NY car club, sledge and bar work to align the crashed lower a arm!!!
-
Sounds like you have some stories....what failed with the A arm?
-
u bolt on arm broke , the alignemnt pins were worn off too
was a crunching squeaking and shimying, but after wh brng on other side and u bolts it was a whole lot better, took a lot of spring shops to get them made up this aged me into retirement!!!
and froze me the rest of the way into a fossil!!!
and had to hire a tray hauler to get it to metel lot
-
Wow that must have sucked breaking down on the tollway, sounds like a trip you won't forget.
-
!!!and froze me the rest of the way into a fossil!!!
WTF no heater???
-
no heater from factory
looks like some of the world lives out of the great northern frozen wasteland
put in a electric heater alt could onley keep up to the lights, finally give up and froze , had put a extra batt on floor for heater, but killed it too and could not get it to charge up again field service mechanic is not my bag anymo, but at least I got the wheels back on it
packing wheel bearings in rain sucks had to drive them in on the floor of the Dakota
yes it was a little frustrating and the cost of the trip was probbably more than the first owner paid for the truck!!!
but made it home and all the metal is in place
posi and tires were a hoot but many trucks and cars crashed in Wi and Ill and I made it back OK
-
You sould put together a story for NDSRA on your trip I think it would make a good read.
-
this never had a heater!!
dont look like this is the one to enter at Billetproof!!!
-
I'm I seeing right, is the lip rub off the lower A frame???
-
dragging on cement or asphalt has a tendency to grind off some metal
still sturdy enough to hold the wheel on!!!!
