Please say down, please say down!

JohnC · 01-20-2010, 01:25 PM

Oh it will go down! If I have to sneak over there at night with a torch I will.

bjcaldwe · 01-20-2010, 01:40 PM

I hope it tucks some tire.

I'm really glad you got it. I know you have been chomping at the bit about it for months now.

I know that's right
I told Megan last night that you probably think I'm a nut. One day I'm telling you I'm getting it, then I tell you I can't, then I tell you I am.....so on and so on

I'm not sure it still is
he was telling me he is gonna give it to one of his family

yeah I probably wouldn't have got it if it wasn't so solid
no rust to speak of in the floors, or anywhere I could tell

it has drop spindles on it now, I think it will get an altitude/attitude adjustment soon

anyone got any 20's they want to donate

JohnC · 01-20-2010, 04:09 PM

Ok I think you could technically start your own build thread for it. We've got almost a page of discussion here alone!

congrats Joe!! glad to see you finally have one! time for a new build thread

joe231 · 01-20-2010, 08:48 PM

Thanks Dennis!!
I will take tons of pics once I have it in my possesion

and I will start a build thread also.
I got a call from the guy a bit ago, he got down to the tag agency and got the vin verified. Now I'm just waiting on the title. They told him it could show up this week.
As soon as he gets the title I go pick up the truck

He'll get it there. If not we can do a late night removal from it's previous location to an undisclosed one.

I can't wait for you to get it Joe. When I looked at it that day I didn't really look that close at it. I wanna check that beast out!

DropTopZ28 · 01-23-2010, 04:07 PM

has anyone done a regular cab short bed in to a crew cab short bed? i'm thinking of a 4x4(don't care if it's 1/2 or 3/4 ton) and the 3/4 tons 4x4 are hard to find and cost so much and the swb 4x4 reg. cabs are easier to find and cheaper. i already have a 4 door cab that i bought to replace a rusted out cab i had on another truck but ended up selling the truck but still have the extra cab. or would i be better off just buying a 4 door 3/4 ton and then swapping out the 4x4 suspension?

*BGRAFX* · 01-23-2010, 04:17 PM

Dino is actually in the process of strecthing his 79 shortbed to fit a crewcab.

Big Port Jimmy 6 · 01-23-2010, 05:00 PM

Here is a link to my pic album of the ccsb. Plans include a LS swap, some paint work on the interior and many more thing as I go.

Just a teaser

I love everything but the gas mileage

The big block is swilling it down. 38 bucks in gas back and forth to work last week.
