Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Today I started the day off working on my poly bushing sleves. I made them out of solid stock because I couldn't find any tube and I'm that cheap!! Then I built a new cross member because I wasn't happy with the way my old one was fitting and we screwed up some how and it ended up being way too high. I forgot to compensate for the 4'' tubing that it would be notched into. Anyways I built a new one out of 2x3 tubing and welded that up and removed the temporary support for up front. I also made some bag mounts. Next week I'll make my lower bag mounts and start setting up my links. Anyways pics!

with aluminum wire?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yesterday... I was checking some other thing under the hood and noticed fuel leaking from the fuel line on the back side of the inline fuel filter.

So, I took it off and cut a chunk out... and clamped it all back down.

I had been smelling raw fuel but I could not find the leak... hopefully that was the only one.

I also bought a new longer piece of fuel line to do a little rerouting.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Well, The first thing I did was to install a Flowmaster exhaust on my 16-year olds firebird ( chrismas present from me ) the nut didn't drop to far from the tree. hahaha of course he wanted to help ( till I broke out the welder!) I have 3 boys 10,16, 23 so they aren't suprised at any thing that I build , they have seen it all- guitars, cars, trucks, model A's , houses and art work , anyone else seems to be impressed , but its nothing but a thing to them ( even thought of building a jet engine @ one time ) till we researched how dangerious that they are (momma put a stop to that project!!)they have seen chevelles, a model a, 58 chevy truck, custom harleys, sand rails and several monster trucks,and 3 4-5-6ers there I go again off the subject ... Sorry ...... I have sometimers disease, sometimes I forget what we are talking about!!!! OK after the exhaust ,I ran my oak wood for the bed thru my planer . cant believe how ruff those kits are , should have made my own !! had to drive the truck out of the garage and up the hill so that we had room to work on the firebird 's exhaust . It looked so nice sitting up there that I broke out the camera . looks like it sits too high so more lowering is in store , if all the parts were on it I think it comes down some, we'll see . Eric

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

so how does it sound

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

like a six cylinder on steriods. noticable extra horse power, about 30 hp they claim, lets hope he can keep it between the lines . it already has a black door , a new tie rod, and a new pair of front tires from his last escapade!!!! do you remember when we were that young? Now I'm truely scared!!!! Eric

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

sweet truck! :thumbs:
What size are the tires?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

390/40/17 M&H Racemaster drag radials rear , 245/45/17 Kumho all season front , I did a 3"-4" drop to the truck and after mounting the back tires I dropped the back 2" more. it still has a nice rake to it! back rims are 11" wide and the front are 8" wide, wanted 20" but 17" is the biggest slick that you can get. I had it all together once or twice and I think that it sits lower with all the extra weight on it

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thats right-you are a young buck aren't you!!
its nice that our hobby won't die with us oldtimers.
don't let that 6 cylinder fool you , w/ that exhaust
it will smoke the tires from a stand still!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
