Re: My truck is on the ground in one piece
What a feeling of accomplishment that must be. How long has it been since it last stood on it's own? Looks like you'll have a nice summer of cruising ahead.

Re: My truck is on the ground in one piece
I bought the 86fj1200 new has 23 k on it now.
Silver machine in Champaign il built the tank to my specs, yes the pump is in the tank. The yellow came out a little brighter than I planned but what the hay its gonna stand out in a crowd! Thanks for the positive comments, its been long and sometimes difficult. Now I want to hear it run!!! Also still needs exhaust. proly going with flowmasters and a balance tube. It has the stock exhaust manifolds. Being retired and with the stock market in the crapper I usually have to wait on the next social security check to buy parts. So every second wed I get what ever parts I can afford. Last edited by bbadfred; 04-29-2010 at 10:52 PM. |
