Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Damn, I'm sure I can't afford it, but what do you need for the dually ? I need a "new" truck to put my roll back on. The 454 in my '89 gave out last fall.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I sold it already. I sold it and my Winnebago, and a Saturn that was my mothers all in one day. I didn't even advertise them. :lol:

That helped ease the sting of paying for my fence today. Wrought iron isn't cheap and I just fenced in a 1 acre lot. That's a lot of fencing.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I have a friend that just bought an '87 Chevy C70 at an auction. It is a local truck with 104,000 miles on it. 18' bed with 2 speed rear axle. Not sure what engine it has but the guy drove it home and said it runs really good. I think he wants $2500 for it. The only thing it ever hauled was balsa wood sawdust from the factory to the local landfill, so it was never worked very hard.

I will find out what engine it has later today.

Well I finished up my log skidding attachment. Seems to weigh about 75 lbs. All heavy tubing and several lbs of rod. Just got the painting done. I will report on how it works.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That should be sign not to sell. I had a fellow try his best to by the 98 at the Dr's office last week. I pretty much told him he didn't have enough money.
He said he wouldn't take that as an insult and I told him I would feel the same by his lame offer.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Well, the next time he calls ;) you can either 1) tell him you sold it to someone else, or 2) tell him to go pound sand. :devil:

That's a really nice truck. If I owned it, I wouldn't mind keeping it. :chevy:

Cool

I'm still in the market for a gold tooth Dale. So I can look like a pimp daddy in my beat up 82 Eldorado. Chicks will dig it. :sexy:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Cool !! Thanks !
18' bed should already have a enough frame length for the roll back.

It has a 366ci (6.0L) engine in it The only thing is it sits a lot higher than your present one. The tires look like new on it. I forgot my camera so no pictures at this time.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

366 is an old school big block. I wasn't aware they were even in production in the 80's. By then, the only BB I'm aware of was the 454. Now I gotta go do some research...;)
Yeah, the height may be an issue. I've looked at a couple C50's and wondered if the bed will be at too steep of an angle when extended to the ground.
Found a bunch of ad's and the 366 and even 427's were still being installed in these trucks.
BIG question, though, does his have the spoke wheels or 10 bolt disc ? I'm not interested in dealing with the spoke wheels. Had enough of those years ago with working lose or wobbling if they weren't mounted perfectly straight.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

i'd vote for telling to go pound sand.he's giving us a bad name.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

:lol: No worries, Greg -- nobody here would ever consider associating you with that guy. :chevy:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Flex sealed a swamp cooler to get another season out of it. Works great!!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That Flex Seal really Works:metal:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I was skeptical, did it last week. Had a couple of rust holes that I "fixed" with electrical knock outs and jb weld. Flex sealed the whole thing and no leaks!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

The thing I have Learned about Flex seal Is.

It will fix a Water Leak.:metal::metal:

It does Not Like Oil At All.

Oil will deteriorate it and seep through.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

thanks.i appreciate that.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

My swamp cooler is rusting from the inside out, but will hopefully last awhile longer. Last fall I shut off the water & drained the line, but the shutoff valve must have failed. Water in the copper tubing froze and split the tubing. Took all day to get new copper from under the sink, between two walls, through the hot attic, & up to the cooler. Got a new valve and hooked it all up. It's finally working well again -- and next week is supposed to be much cooler, and rainy. :rolleyes:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

New front tire for the Yamaha . I really hate spoke wheels anymore pain to clean has a tube just not a good overall experience on a regularly used vehicle

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I spent time Saturday and today sanding and polishing up the big azz headlamps on the wife's Yukon. Actually these are the original ones that were replaced with some she found online some years ago. The online ones didn't hold up as well as OE, as expected. I polished the replacements up last year and they're bad again. I saved the OE headlamp assemblies and found them in the north end of our storage unit, the one I have been working on the last couple of weeks. Forgot I saved them. Anyhoos, I started with 400 grit paper and finished up with 3000, then the polisher. Whole lot of work for something that will need it again in less than a year I imagine.
You guys have any tips on how to make them last longer? It's just plastic.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Supposed to be some kind of "wax" that you can put on them after polishing. Saw it at the parts store but haven't used it.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Hey Boog sand and spray them with clear, works great.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Well Grumpy old dog said it :lol:

My Cocaine dealer dropped this off today. I don't have a drug problem. I don't care what they say. :lol:

It's actually gravel for around the pool. It might as well be Cocaine for what they charge for it these days. :rolleyes:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I just had 16 ton of 1" down road rock delivered and spread on my secondary driveway. I think the wife said it was $450.00. That was for the rock, delivery, and spreading.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I wondered how well clear would hold up. Thanks.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That's a deal. That pure white gravel was way more. It's pricy but I'm only putting it around the pool. Everything around the pool is going to be sky blue and white. Wish me luck trying to keep it all clean.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

we built Mrs.Mud a new deck,now some landscaping to do.i figured i was overdrawn on the brownie points bank so i'd better get busy.i was trying to get done as we leave Saturday for Medina,Ohio for a run to visit our friends.we did this trip last October,Bob is fighting cancer and wants to see us so off we go.we've been bragging to them about this farm close to here that makes it's own goodies,homemade ice cream among the goodies.we're filling a cooler with dry ice and taking him ice cream.the Great Ice Cream Roadtrip of 2023.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Very nice looking deck ,, good addition to the house and wide steps ,,good idea ,, does them post toppers have lights in them and if so how did ya run the wiring to them,, and then,, maybe they are solor? That is a great thing you are doing for your freind Bob ..Ice cream from a farm is priceless.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Thanks. The boss is happy.that's good enough for me. The post toppers do have lights and they're solar powered. We're sitting here waiting for dark to see if they come on?I'm sure they will.it was sad to go see Bob in October thinking we would never see him again but he's hanging on so we'll go again,ice cream won't hurt either.take care.Greg

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Beautiful deck , and that is great your able go see your friend Bob.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Thanks,I appreciate that.Bob and his wife would do it for us if the shoe were on the other foot.in fact they drove here from Ohio years ago when my wife and I were married. That meant alot to us.it's the least we can do.
