started today
 
Started on my 71 project today, I think a bought Pandoras's box.
The cab turned out to be really bad after taking it all apart. Hopefully Mothertrucker will have a nice one for me to replace it with. Everything else on it is fair to good condition. Has new front fenders and wheel wells. Has an open 12 bolt 5 on 5 pattern. It has after market springs but still haven't figured out the drop in it. Maybe someone out there has a rolling chassis and they can share some dimensions with me so I can get some idea of what springs are in it. Here are a couple of picks

:eek: crappy cab????? By the pic, it still has a floor, rockers, and corners......up here, that would be a " rare " find :D You do have your work cut out for yourself!!:)

Longhorn Man 09-06-2003 10:55 PM

Yeah, that crappy cab looks better than all 3 of mine put together!

Sorry that this is off topic but, Andy your quote cracks me up! lol... Tony Danza... :rolleyes:

Longhorn Man 09-08-2003 12:23 AM

lol! thanks Hotrod. I heard that on the radio the other day. My wife hates it when I say that, she thinks he's the shiznit. (I think most chicks do)
I was just re-reading my reply, and I have to correct it with it looks better than the best of all 3 of my cabs put together.
If you took the worst of all 3 of my cabs, you'd have a huge pile of rust dust and mouse turds.

Hotrod70C10 09-08-2003 12:57 AM

No problem Andy, I told my girl that and she told me that I was an idiot............ Don't worry I passed the blame on you and then, She told me I was even more stupid because I was talking about the "board" lol..... I wish I could just choke her to death sometimes.... lol

Longhorn Man 09-08-2003 01:39 AM

I get the same thing from my wife...except she rolls her eyes when she says "the board."
I told her I could stay with her and talk truck talk, but then she said something about how wonderfull Josh is and how she should bake him some cookies and bla bla bla...

Hotrod70C10 09-08-2003 02:28 AM

So... she's happy you have the board to go to? hehe... If I talk too much truck stuff with my girl she ignores me but, when I mention anything about a 1st generation camaro, oh man does she get into it. That's supposed to be "our" project. The only thing is I would rather have a 57 belair wagon. She can't say no if I end up wheeling one home some day.... :D

MOTHERTRUCKERS 09-08-2003 08:55 AM
