We call Kabwe the "The Truck Whisperer"

Re: What a mess just look at this.
 

Yes he is the truck whisperer. Hey it make me think I might be able to do some stuff, this is a great site for info and builds. I have to transfer my photos over.

Re: What a mess just look at this.
 

Yeah right, the truck screamer maybe.lol
Please do transfer those pics. I'm really glad you like the site, its a great one.

Re: What a mess just look at this.
 

Update: We got the engine and transmission installed and everything is looking good. He is running a 383 stroker with a 700r4. I was not suppose to be installing the engine but every time I go visit he is working so I end up helping. I need to stop visiting and I told him so.lol

Re: What a mess just look at this.
 

Sure free plane ride a place to rest my head and all the food and beer that I can ingest. Plus I get to work on cars, that sounds like a nice vacation to me.lol

Re: What a mess just look at this.
 

Thats a price that would be cheaper than some of the butcher jobs some people charge;)

Re: What a mess just look at this.
 

I guess it would huh.lol

Re: What a mess just look at this.
 

Now there's a great show. Bam fly's in, fix's your mess and lives with you and your family for the month. You could wake us up at dawn, with the dog suit on of course, yell at us, "get to work on that truck you slacker" then have beer and lunch...

Re: What a mess just look at this.
 

Maybe thats what "some of us need" a gentle push and a shove to get our butts in gear!

Re: What a mess just look at this.
 

LOL. That will work.lol
I need that sometimes myself. I'm cool once I go to the garage, I just need a gentle push to go out the back door to get there.lol

Re: What a mess just look at this.
 

Well the front sheetmetal is back on. I think the truck should be a little lower, but the owner loves it at this ride height. He told me he change the springs to get it this high and this is where he wants it. Well I think he should put the original springs back on but case closed for now but I will work on him a little more in the future.lol

I will wait to see it with the hood, grill and bumper on before I start in on him again.

Re: What a mess just look at this.
 

Really nice

Re: What a mess just look at this.
 

I agree with you, but if he's happy he has to drive it

Re: What a mess just look at this.
 

Thanks man
Yeah, I don't know what he is scared of he likes everything a little high. This is his also and as you can see its a little too high, but its a beautiful car. He is a really good painter. This is a backyard paint job. My camera does not do justice to the paint. The color is actually purple and silver. It looks blue in the pic.
I wish he put some drop spindle on her. On the truck he can just put the stock springs back on and it will be fine.

Re: What a mess just look at this.
 

Yeah kim his truck is really coming together, he's got me beat that's for sure.lol I'm still going to try and talk him into putting the other springs back on. All that work I did and he has it that high, its a shame and I told him so.lol

Re: What a mess just look at this.
 

Update:
Here are some pics of the first time driving the truck since I installed the clip. As you will notice I got him to let me lower the truck some more and I like the stance much better. The owner is happy so I'm happy and the truck drives great.
