What is to come of the white one?

Longhorn Man · 10-19-2003, 10:36 PM

Not much space to work there huh? At least you did your engine swap on paved ground, when i did my engine swap from longhorn #1 into red turd GMC, it was in a dirt parking spot.

dinnut · 10-19-2003, 10:39 PM

Chevy_68 · 10-19-2003, 10:50 PM

Iron-Butt · 10-20-2003, 08:31 AM

Zumo · 10-20-2003, 12:11 PM

Did you get that 68 from a board member?

You put the motor inthe 68 from the lwb right?

my new 72 · 10-20-2003, 02:52 PM

Yeah I got the 68 from 68_c10_on20's, and the engine was going in the 68 from the 72. I'll be done tonight early tomorrow at the latest.

Longhorn Man · 10-20-2003, 04:15 PM

Oh yeah, cherry pickers int he dirt...that's lots of fun.
Oh, the dirt was wet from the coolant drained in the grass too. (straight rust and water...no green stuff.)

have you ever tried to pull a cherry picker through pure sand?, seems like nailing diarehea to a wall would be a better use of time

wdz28ss · 10-21-2003, 12:09 AM

Motor swaps rule!! especially in the dirt.. Makes finding those dropped bolts a bunch of fun. Makes me appreciate concrete, a/c, and heat!!

Check out my dumb a$$ neighbor doing a swap "curbside". Don't know how he pulled it off. Took him almost 3 months!!! Left a nice greasy mess. Great for the new development!!!

Chevy_68 · 10-21-2003, 12:16 AM

nice ss man and i thought that truck looked familiar

Chevy_68 · 10-21-2003, 12:18 AM

Hooter · 10-21-2003, 12:27 AM

ya not to mention it is a stupid eagle too

wdz28ss · 10-21-2003, 12:46 AM

my new 72 · 10-21-2003, 04:22 AM

Steve kept the motor when he sold me the truck. I really didn't want it anyways, I wanted a SWB to bag later on and put my 385 in.

Chevy_68 · 10-21-2003, 11:47 PM

my new 72 · 10-22-2003, 12:29 AM
