If you are going to drink this weekend, please down one for a close friend of mine

[SCOOBYDANNN]

In 1997 I bought my first truck--a 1983 Chevy Stepside Silverado. Fully loaded with AC, PW/PD, cruise control, everything. A beautiful truck.

Soon after the purchase I installed a 3" lift and a set of 33" Mud Kings.

After wheeling for a little while I met up with Marv Springer and got hooked onto rock crawling. "Scooby" then cheanged into a image of its own.

going from a 6" lift and 35" boggers

to a set of 37" MT's 3/4 ton, no bed and camo'ed

to no doors, no bed, and grooved TSL's

and finally to tubed front end and a 400/203/205 setup.

Well, I'm sad to say my first love of wheeling, my first love of crawling, my first truck will be going to the scrap yard on Saturday.

I was planning on doing a 4-link with air-shocks, but after a careful inspection of the frame I decided the frame was not up to the task. I parked her at a friends house for a little while i tried to get back on my feet but the patience of said friend wore a little too thin and I have no where to park her till i get the $$. So, with no where to store my Scooby I have no where to go but the scrap yard. I have learned soooo much driving this truck and she will truly be missed.

If I were to do it again I would have made her a quality show truck and beat to s#%t out of some other truck that meant nothing to me. But what is done is done.

so with that said, please drink a nice cold one in rememberance of the Scooby.

Phil, I appreciate it. I picked up a 74 blazer in Jan and want to make it into a driver/wheeler (for now anyway) and so far she has all the drivetrain and 38's. We finally got a place to put the shop, you should come check it out and drink a beer or two. It is across the street from the weside wreck (sp?) off mesa hills, by the mall.



Fred, I already got the days off I have already talked to a couple of guys to see if they wanted to go and so far it looks like well have a nice caravan on friday.

Man, hate to hear that. You built such a cool truck, but I know what you mean about the time delays and trying to get it the way you want. I've seriously entertained getting rid of mine too. Stil, you learned a lot and if the urge hits, you can build another even better without the "wish I hadna done that"... Good luck!

And OT but, Marv, are you sure the list isn't longer than that?

 

[K5MONSTERCHEV]

Sorry to hear thaty man, but im confused about somehting. Your just gonna send it to the scrap yard? Im assuming your gonna strip it down to the frame first. I know its sad to see a vehicle go but, heck you have all the parts, itll just be like it got a makeover, or something like that.

A cold Red Hook hoisted in Scooby's Honor
May she rest in pieces

Sounds good to me man. PM me your phone number so I can cruise out there. I never know how to get ahold of you guys short of making the trip out to the west side and hoping to find you. Good luck with the new rig.
