Re: Brookings SD new guy

Also, to the SD crowd. I've heard that the 1/4 mile in Marion was closing due to the one near Pierre being opened?

Any substance here?

Re: Brookings SD new guy

Chad,
I actually applied to work for Jesse as a CNC operator (I have a little experience from years ago) when I quit at Pawnee. I also sent him one of his current CNC employees, Danny.
I work at a Radiator Sales & Repair business just up the street at the intercetion of Samco Rd. & Deadwood Ave. called Dakota Radiator 605-341-6634.
Hopefully next time your out this way, I'll have a '68 Shortbox pieced together.
I'm throwing a little board gathering in early June, hopefully your up for coming out...

Re: Brookings SD new guy

I have had lots of emails and pms about the wheel and tire size on my truck. Let me start by telling everyone, the size I have <<DO NOT>> just bolt on. The front is a 18x8 with 225/40-18 the rear is 20x10 with 295/45-20. It has 3 1/2 drop spindles with 1 coil cut off new Moog springs and it is TO LOW it only has about 2 1/2 inches of clearance so I drive real careful for now!! The truck started out as a GMC so it has leaf springs, not coils like the Chevys. I flipped a S-10 rearend to the top side of the springs and used a 1" block kit. And yes I had to move the wheelwells. OH Ya.... I almost forgot I lowered the body down on the frame 1 inch. Remember, I started out with a POS truck that I was not afraid to chop up! If your truck is nice I would not recomend this wheel/tire size! If you have any more questions... fire away.

My cheapo paint guy is suppose to be picking it up this week... I'm just having him paint the interior, firewall & jamming the cab & doors... Then I'll start stripping and painting the frame and also putting the 6 lug disc suspension under it. As well as cleaning, painting and installing the 350/TH350 set up I just brought home from another board member in Minn. Then, when I get the cab back, I'll have a good starting point with late-May as a goal as a drivable date. Probably not in Paint, but...? With New radiator support, New inner fenders, New front fenders, New Cowl hood, perfect grille, Poly-Urethane body mounts, a decent Short-Wide box... It shouldn't take too long to get it together & ready for paint.
