Great progress! Awesome to see you getting to enjoy your hard work!:metal::metal:

Re: New member new Project
 

Didn't notice in the thread anywhere, but that shifter you're running. Is it a Lokar? if so, what size is it? I'm debating between the 24" and 32" for my Burb.

Re: New member new Project
 

Yeah, that's the radical 32 by Lokar, but be forwarned, it comes up almost to my rear view mirror.

Went to Cholla Bay today and got some shots out there.

Thanks for the compliments, I built this thing to drive it and enjoy it!

Re: New member new Project
 

Rick! Love the truck!!! I bet you're the most popular gringo in Rocky Point these days!:ito:

Re: New member new Project
 

sweet! I'm diggn the logo you did a damn good job on it! how strong is the motor?

Re: New member new Project
 

Very Nice Rick,Glad to see all your hard work has paid off for you.

Re: New member new Project
 

Thanks Guys

How strong is the motor Blake?... Gas it at any speed and burn rubber!

Went cruising today... more pics

Re: New member new Project
 

Very nice, I like the look.

Re: New member new Project
 

Just went thru the whole build. Sweet ride !!!!!

Re: New member new Project
 

Likewise, truck looks and sounds great! How is it having a shifter up that high?

Re: New member new Project
 

thats what im talkin bout! cant wait to see it Im trying to get back down there soon!

Re: New member new Project
 

BTW Rick - What body of water are you building boats near? I'm not up on my Arizona geography.

Re: New member new Project
 

Thor,

I live on the beach on what they call "Arizonas' Ocean", it is 70 miles south of Arizona in Mexico. The body of water is the Sea of Cortez, or the Gulf of California. Absolute paradise!... fresh seafood any time, and cheap!

Blake ... Come on down!

Dylan... I guess that is why the shifter is called the "radical 32", it is high! I like it but I'm sure there are a lot of guys that would not.
It reminds me of the old hot rods back in the 60's, by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth... "Rat Fink"
I'm dating myself, OK... I'm old!

Put the covering on the wiring under the dash and went for a cruise on Friday, the famous Mannys Beach Club

Saturday car show, there was only one of our trucks in the show, but it was a nice one

Re: New member new Project
 

To put it nicely, I prefer yours...

Re: New member new Project

Re: New member new Project

Re: New member new Project
 

Thanks Rob, you have some killer projects also by the way

I ordered from Summit

wire set... MSD-32829

and protective boots... DEI-010522

Good luck

Re: New member new Project
 

Cool to see how some guys like you actually get to enjoy the fruit of all their labor....

Re: New member new Project
 

Been real busy at work the last few months, no time to work on shop truck, finally got a chance to start on exhaust last Saturday, got it done yesterday.
I wanted the Summit X-Pipe in there, but let me tell you, it was a sumbich fitting it in between the driveshaft and the bottom of the frame. Also I had to go between the trans support crossmember and the cab floor. When you want a frame and body dragger, it is what it is.

But any way, I love the sound and power. Been hotrodding it around the last couple of days, it kicks ass!

Re: New member new Project
 

what a great truck! keep on truckn !!!

Re: New member new Project
 

Where did you get the lift? is that at the course?

Re: New member new Project
 

Blake,
I ordered the lift off the internet for $1500 dollars and had it sent to your Dads storage yard behind A1 Golf Cars, and went and picked it up and brought it down here. And yes, I installed it at the golf course shop.

When you gonna come down and go for a ride in the '72?

Re: New member new Project
 

Nice truck...
