Also sold some rims and orderd up some energy suspension poly bushings for the body.
That was a must!
 
Nice truck looks good. Got the same color as mine. i like the simpl stuff you got going on. Vids look like t it runs pretty damn good. Quiet exhaust though. Makes it a sleeper. Lol
 
Thanks. Its been a slow build but now that im getting the body bushings done it should be picking up as far as the rust repair n body repairs go. I wanna have the body pretty solid in time for summer and in time to finish the cage and body protection. That way i can go topless and not worry bout my body falling apart and go wheeling without worrying about beating the body up too much.

And the exhaust is quiet. I wanna get some new mufflers and just run the manifolds for now. It does its job so i cant complain.
 
Yer sh*t ain't quiet... :haha:

Subdued... Maybe.
But not quiet. :deal:

I ordered you a manual, Dan.... :whistle:
Can you guess what manual it is... :thinking:
 
Brought the truck out to clean
Played with the new phone

Theres an article out there somewhere.


Guys truck got hit by some spraybombers. Neighbor told him to use wd40 as it wont eat the clear, but will take the spray paint off if rubbed with a rag.


Ive never tried it, but hear it works. I normally just go straight for the carb cleaner or goof off.

Don't worry about a slow Build. I've been into mine 12 years now. Only 5 of them it's been legal and roadworthy. You are doin it right and enjoying I while you improve it. Body bushings help a lot. Mine had comletwly rotted and the as send of mine was all over the place. I did the urethane bushings. Rides much better and is a lot tighter feeling now. Hardest part was replacing the core support ones.
I have duel Flowmaster 40s on mine. So loud as chit. Maybe that's just what I'm used to. Lol.
 
I have no idea as to how im gonna replace em.
I may try jacking the body up and resting a 4x4 block in between for a lil more wiggle room.

I wanna do 40 series.
But gotta get the body sorted first haha
 
I was gonna use a 4x4 as a spacer.... I think that's what everyone does.
Just loosen up one whole side, then lift it up.
Simple.

I'll help, if you want an extra set of hands....
I can bring some beers.... :deal:

Beers, Brethren, and Blazer Jimmy Body Mounts.... How can you say No... :haha:
