PowerTour 2015 who's going? who's ready?

I didnt see another thread on this,so who is going, what you bringing, are you ready, are you a longhauler?

I'm bringing my 1967 GMC with a 4.8LS, 4L60e, rebuilt 3.73 12 bolt posi, still in primer.

To Do:
Plumb A/C (and hope it works)
Fix a fuel line
Change fuel filter (because why not)
oil change
new exhaust

optional-
paint inside/out
carpet
seat covers
dash pad
rubbers
reseal windshield



My younger brother is bringing his 1949 Chevy 3100 with a newly supercharged LS1.

We need to go thru the 12 bolt and fix a few things.



My youngest brother is bringing a 1967 Dodge A100 (think scooby-doo)

It needs the most.

Steering fixed, flipped axle has awesome bump steer.
Transmission converter is locking in at 10mph for some reason
OD is hit/miss.
Dog house needs install
Has never actually been road tested





Should be a fun week. We did PowerTour back in 2003, longhauled from Nashville to Dallas. This is our second time. Looking forward to it.

-Ryan

Doing the Power Tour is on my Bucket List and of course I want to do the long haul. For me to get to the start of the Power Tour will probably be a long haul as well

I have done the last 2 Power Tour in my 71 C-10, but unfortunately this year is out for me. Uncle Sam didn't play nice so all my reserve money went to him instead. You will have a blast I'm sure. Jesse is going I know off here but he is driving his Mustang. Have fun and be safe on the road.

Here is a thread I started.

It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Thinking about it, putting in my new 460 bb in a couple weeks (71 C20) installed a 2004r in the spring behind my current 468 bb with 355 rear so 80mph @ 2k is sweet on the highway. I'd just be doing the first 2 stops though.

I got my free hat yesterday in the mail. I won it off the HRPT face book page.

Yea I'm not happy about it, but I'm already saving for 16. I will be there next year and hopefully it will head back this way.
Have fun and be safe on the road.
