Talking Please help me stop!!!!!!!!!!!


My wife says Im outta control.

A week ago wed, I had a 65 short fleet delivered up to Ohio from southern Virginia. It had no motor or trans but was cheap.
I decided Im too lazy to actually build it, so I put it out for the world to see.

Well, a local guy has wanted one, and offered a Harley bobber project and cash, for the truck
So 7 days after its trip north, it left for a 15 mile journey to its new home. And I took possesion of this little hardtailed sporty.

Well, being 6'1 and 320, this isnt the bike for me. So I promtly list it and it sells 2 days later.

So today I roll out 70 miles from home and buy this 66 short fleet. And drove it home.
283/4spd
5lug disc front
pwr brakes
pwr steering

And he threw in a 72 C10 rearend with 3.08 gears to swap in.

So the plan is to find someone to buy the awesome Fred Sanford aluminum cap
Im going to search here and see how sells the best drop spindles for 72s and order those.
I also want airride. And Im searching for 4 nice plain steel wheels to run.

Also switching to a 88-92 fullsize bench. It has badazz old bucketseats in it, but not what Im going to run.

So now introducing, what my wife calls, The Drippy Rear Special
(the pinion seal and axle seals leak...)
