Grandpa's not in a retirement home is he?
No he’s alive and kickin! Runs two 50k marathons 4 days a week! DD status is good for him, but I’m thinking he might have to get a heart transplant soon. 80,000 on the old ticker.
That old ticker is junk, you should give it to me for disposal
Haha!!!! It may be more of an open heart surgery for now. But I’m really thinking a little hotrod shop truck would be fun. But first I have to start making some extra $$$ lol
Do we need to fire up the silver alert for the old man yet?
Lol he’s still goin strong! I’ll update this soon.
Well.... back in September this happened. Wheel cylinder started leaking and my daughter rear ended a Toyota Tacoma. I was pissed at her because the brakes were fine when I went and picked the truck up. Then after it sat for a few days they didn’t work. So I had to eat crow and apologize. 
It’s held together with a bunch of zip ties. Lol
Ew
Yeah it sucks. The good news is the core support took most of the impact. It killed the condenser, the fan shroud, and broke the mounts on the radiator. The rest of the damage to the grill, hood and headlights doesn’t really matter because it was all going to get replaced eventually.
Time for a front end upgrade! https://www.mcneilracinginc.com/pro...iberglass-conversion-hood?variant=18361761351
I have thoughts about things like this from time to time! I’ve done so good with this one so far though. The only mod I’ve done is the air cleaner lid flip. lol mostly because I haven’t been able to free up any extra cash, but I’m sure something will happen eventually. We have a baby LS down in the yard that has been tempting me.
What is a baby LS? Like a 4.3 liter?
Lol noooo the 4.8. The number 3 kinda looks like 8 I guess? It’s just a thought at this point.
4.8L engines aren't all that bad if you get them super cheap or free.
Lol probably not quite 15psi but yes that’s what I’ve been scheming. Because how awesome would it be to put a whoopin on someone in an old grampa-mobile and then pour salt on the wound when I show them the 4.8L cast into the block.4.8 with 15psi
Haha yes! I’m thinking 6psi would be fine for now.
I need to figure out what transmission to use. Has to be budget friendly.
