Re: "One really slow build" thread
Well no pics, but I do have good news
I drove my truck today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay !!! It's back on the road... barely lol I got it running (needed new spark plugs) And I got shocks up front It unfortunately started running like crap by the time I got home... I think the plugs are fouling again, so Ima fix that tomorrow After that I'll get my bags in the rear & start working on HEAT !!! Dang I hate being cold !!! So I'm stoked bout getting to drive it again, but as with anything it's gonna need some more work (no biggie though) |

Re: "One really slow build" thread
It's about 3" short
I like it, but it does make the door tight to shut (but not too bad IMO) The main reason for it being a lil too tight is at the front of the door where it goes from big to the window frame it's really tight & thats the first place it hits |

Re: "One really slow build" thread
Lol. Why change the oil? It was still there right? I just let mine burn off and replace it a little at a time

Re: "One really slow build" thread
Well boy & girls, it looks like my engine is in need of repair
![]() ![]() It's no longer building adequate oil pressure & will need to be freshened (if I'm lucky) So for now, I plan on scraping up the few hundred bucks it'll prolly take to freshen a engine I have laying around that needs bearings (hopefully thats all that one needs) And if it needs more than that, I'll prolly just stick a I-6 in it till I have the money to buy the engine I've been wanting for my truck (454 sleeved down to 396, bad@ss engine) I'm super bummed about this ![]() |
