Very nice .... you need to make a DVD showing the rest of us how to go through a project so quickly!

OrrieG · 07-26-2008, 12:31 AM

I just went through the thread and man what a nice build. I get so inspired by the level of craftsmanship and willingness to share from the guys here. What did the seats come out of, sorry if I missed it in the thread?

prostreeter58 · 12-30-2008, 06:16 PM

nah.....sold my boat, got rid of the truck, then the market/economy went south...........gonna wait a few and see if things rebound. Might work out to our advantage in the long run..................

Kim57 · 12-31-2008, 02:16 PM

You still have a very sweet truck and a very sweet Monte Carlo to go with it.
What more could you ask for?

djracer · 01-09-2009, 08:36 AM

What made you decide to get rid of the red truck? I thought this one was to pull the red one?

I'll claim stupidity on that decision...........enough said............

prostreeter58 · 01-18-2009, 10:44 AM

Well I finished up the blower install today and I am dying to take it for a test drive, but, I am having a problem with the pressure side of the steering pump heating up real bad. It got so bad while test running it that it blew the hose and needless to say, power steering fluid went all over the motor and everywhere else you could imagine.........what a mess. Anyway here are a few shots of the motor after we cleaned up the mess............

OrrieG · 01-18-2009, 05:51 PM

Can't tell you the model but I remember seeing little power steering fluid coolers at the junk yard. I'm at work and don't have any car catalogs here but I think Summit has some aftermarket ones for PS and rearends too. Bummer about the mess...

entourageguy · 01-19-2009, 07:09 AM

Nice..................

make sure all the bug are shook out before I come down.

CAL 58 GMC · 01-19-2009, 11:56 AM

Now that's SWEET!!!

dgrayphotos · 02-05-2009, 10:37 AM
