Any Thursday night between April and October. We will have to coordinate a forum wide cross county cruise :lol:

Thanks Cubber. Sometimes it will be in spurts, I am putting together all the pieces for a front disc brake upgrade with drop spindles and the works.

Great build... I love the buddy buckets, air cleaner lid and engine. You are doing an awesome job. The A&W cruise nights remind me of the "good old days". Back in the late '60's, all the cool rides circled Jim's Big Burger and the local A&W. Fun stuff!

Thanks for the compliments Pop. I really enjoy those Thursday nights at A&W, good times with great people. That's what it's all about, right?

I have a few others of the individual trucks back there wish I had gotten more. and no doubt I think this spring the group needs to roll down there and bust down Rene's back gate and make the backyard a little bit roomier for more trucks :metal:

Haha I love it. Is the shwagin wagon on air?

Ok guys on another note. I am having a little problem. Last September or do I swapped out my one legged 3.73 gear set for a 3.07 posi. Well everything has been good since then but now once the rear end warms up a little I get a popping from the diff. I added 2 of the posi lube additives when I filled it after the install. I'm thinking about draining the fluid an just straight Lucas gear oil. It says on the bottle that you can use on posi units with no additive. What's your guys thoughts?
