Re: MY build thread...
Well, well, well. Looky what the stork brought. Congrats to both of you.
The first few years go pretty well, but then... School, Ballet lessons, Soccer, Just the right clothes, Just the right food, Boys, Cars, College. And then they leave for another love of their life and you are finally left with time for your truck. But by now you've forgotten how to work on it and even where what tools you have left are. But don't worry 'cause in a couple of years you won't have the time between baby sitting and chauffeuring the grand kid(s). Dave, 2 daughters, 2 step daughters, 5 grand daughters. Way too much estrogen in my life. |
Re: MY build thread...
Thanks guys for all the compliments... She's my first priority for sure! Long story to get where we are now! I did start it yesterday and let it run to get fluids moving but my plan is to do so all winter so it doesn't sit and seals get hard...

Troy, I'm sitting here wasting away in 67-72ville and ran across this. It belongs as the subcategory in cars above. (66 pickup by Bomp #1048 talking about his daughter)

Well just got two more tires mounted on my rallies and waiting on my swaybars to show up so I can get that all done then hopefully I can get the exhaust done shortly after...

Re: MY build thread...
Congrats on your newborn !!
Sorry I am late to this .... I always thought the secret to raising girls was: Make them smart and teach them the merits of Martial Arts, and a steady trigger squeeze.... Sadly I never did get to test my theory on this. |

Truck is changing little by little into what I'm after...still thinking a 3k stall will help it pull out of the hole better but not sure how the lockup would work being stall over cruise range.

Front swaybars is installed! Kind of a pita but it's on minus welling the control arm bracket on.... Got the exhaust routed to outside the frame and now makin brackets to hold tailpipes and mufflers. Here's the front sway bar installed maybe next week I will get the rear one installed!!

Re: MY build thread...
Well have to modify the rear sway bar brackets to fit the way I would like, got the exhaust outside the frame so now need to attach the tail pipes and locate the mufflers if I run them

Thanks everyone for the congrats on my daughter, she's a hoot.... Had some time to play on the truck today.... It's 22 degrees outside and 80 in the shop! Got the exhaust legs outside the frame so one step closer there and finished mounting the sway bars. Need to find a ball/socket front swaybar link that will handle the aggressive angles when layed out... Can't wait to get exhaust done and it warm up again so I can drive!!! Also I am installing my new ground straps from inner fenders to frame, cab to frame and bed to frame! Tryin to figure out why my brake lights aren't working now!!! Btw the angle on the end links isn't that bad picture makes it look horrible...

Re: MY build thread...
We'll took KarmA out for a drive today and think I have a new issue.... Imagine that! My trans 700r4 91 model will not kick down when I step on it in any gear... I tugged on the tv cable to hopefully free something that may be blocking it from working (worked when I was setting the pressures 3 yrs ago) an when I was done doing that I actually had to slide the slip colar out some to take some tension (preload) off the tv cable. Now it shifts hard into second and third like it should with all the upgrades but still no kickdown... So hopefully this weekend I can set the pressures again and see where it's at. Any ideas what I should look for? Fluids not burnt only has about 600 miles on it last year and then it say all winter...

Re: MY build thread...
Trans issue fixed I think and pulled out to get a video of the exhaust for another guy on FB... So might as well post here!
