nice looking truck, and even better price! :metal:

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

We had some hail here today, pix later. I think the 68 has thicker sheetmetal than the gfs nissan or the rest of her familys cars :)

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

Anytime you come through here just give me a shout. I'd love to shoot the bull and maybe show you some cool stuff. I haven't been messing with the old stuff much since last year. I've been back messing with a bunch of LSx stuff. I've traded Josh out of his crew cab project so ice got the truck fever again.

Yes I'm still making concrete everyday. Ive been crazy busy. This rough economy has been good to us. I done a job in Manchester for the railroad a while back. Thought about stoping to see you but it was late and I was always wore out.

Next time you come thru give me a yell.

Will do phillip, hopefully you can nail down the LSX swap, in a few years thats what I wanna do. I broke my teeth on a tree fidy

Hail, it was alot worse in 'downtown' viola. Ol truck did alright a few very very very very minor dents the nissan of brittanys and her moms dodge van didnt fair too well, her dads truck it has dents etc so I couldnt tell much difference lol

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

More hail

Didnt even back at home

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

Carnage (if i can even be able to tell with camera) pix tomorow or next nice dry sunny day

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

POLL:

Should I put my truck back stock height for time being? Or lower the rear a little?

Currently I have a round cut outta my front coils, -2" drop.

My neighbor is in a lifetime restoration of a 68 chevy truck, he is putting new stock coils on it I can probably get the front coils cheap from him.

Should I put my truck back stock height? Or lower the rear with a 1-2" block? My exising U bolts are long enough for at least a 1" block and dad got some huge drill bits at a yard sale for a few bucks from a guy that worked at TVA?

Anyway-Stock height all around? Or 1.5" Rear drop.

Ps I really like some rake (front lower)

drop spindles expensive drop components are outta the question right now due to the cost

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

That's some big hail! Means it had strong updraft (bad storm)

You know my response...lower the rear with blocks about 1.5 if you can fit it on the u-bolts...will give you the rake but drop it so it's not a nosedive :D

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

:) :lol: nosedive

Biggest drill bit we have is 11/16 I believe. Think I can wollow em out to 3/4" or whatever size I need

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

throw some sandbags in the back for an instant drop:lol:

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

Looks like she's enjoying it. Maybe while your away on some post she'll finish the truck for you.

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

Fl71

Re: "Rice Rocket'
