What happened to the door?????

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

The Farmer used to irrigate with it. He said he took the door off to make it easier to get in and out of the truck faster but cant remember where he put it. May be looking for a door if he can't find it:confused:

Man I love that logic.... Like working one day out in the field And thinking "man that door just keeps gettin in the way, I'm gonna take it off" .......priceless lol

Good luck with build though

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

low with 22x10. 5 in backspace in the front 22x10 3.65 backspace in the rear all we need is a good sawsall

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

Looks to be pretty solid.

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

it has some rust in strange places but the sheet metal is very good

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

blake harvesting some parts the pieces that he is cutting from this bed will be used to make new wheel houses. to get the tire out close to the fender looks like a gain of about 2 inches

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

I'll work on the bed as long as he works on the front end.

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

some improvement

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

I got the body dropped a inch this week. blake will be over this weekend to get after the front end I think we will move the inter fenders up hoping for 3 to 4 inches

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

Cool truck keep up the good work:metal:

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

No photos of the truck this week, didn't get much work in, my uncle and i went to lunch at Al The Wops and ran into my other uncle and his little model T. he took me for a ride and poked a hole in the oil pan so we helped him fix it so he could get home so that kept us from the truck!

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

Cool build and great wheels!

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

just put a divot in the fire wall to keep the tires from rubbing some say that if the tires are centered they won't but it looked they would so I hope it wasn't a waste of time.. HOW high do the guy's with air ride lift to turn with 22's we want the center of the wheel even with the center of the lower molding

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

just make me an offer..

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

If you have any pictures, I'd love to see them. I'm only 40 mins south of you as well so I could swing up to look at em.

In all honesty I'm not sure what the stock stuff is worth, I'd hate to offer 75 bucks and offend you. I can do some research and get a better idea of what it's worth. I also have quite a bit of 71-71 parts if you're looking to trade.

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

Oh I do love rally's. I'll try and get an offer tonight when I get home. Is it make an offer on the wheels as well? My bed is in good condition less the tail gate and front piece.

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR
 

So Ive been looking around at pricing from pick and pulls and such. Their complete rear ends are $75. They price them individually (Shaft and housing - $35 and $45) Im going to be getting drop spindles in the near future for the front so I can always swap to 5x5 rotors then. I guess my estimate was pretty close up there. Would $75 work for the rear end? I may also be interested in those rallys you have (the 5x5s) depending on the spacing. Let me know.

Also, Not sure what direction you and your nephew are leaning toward but I have my entire front clip up for sale for a 71. The hood has a 2" cowl and is in perfect condt if you guys are interested. Im looking to swap my 71 front clip with a 67-68 if you know of anyone selling or wanting to trade. Thanks again!
