Re: deer gets another one

Kinda ironic.................but when I returned to work after the wreck , I had told the bike dude that I probably wouldn't daily drive my Chevy after I got it put back together and he said that we can't live in fear and that he rode his bike every chance.

Re: deer gets another one

it's amazing that you're even attempting this repair. Not something i would do, but it's awesome that you are. can't wait to see it back on the road when you're done.

more time than money!

Actualy I had put too much of myself into the truck in the last 4 years to just scrap it. I als started looking around at what was available to start over and i just don't want to go there again. I will patch this back and keep it as a truck to use pretty much as a truck. If I ever get my life settled down again I might part my stuff into a short box truck.
Truthfully I am not so sure if I am ready to get back into any more long term projects. ie: I spent almost all of my spare time for the last 4 years on this truck and then it was all over in a split second.
If I sound discouraged......................well yea I guess.

Re: deer gets another one

the corner is good as it'll ever get for this beast.

I plan on using this truck as a truck..........keep it in primer and someday utilize my driveline............still barely any miles on the engine, trans/transfer rebuild, new gears in front diff and a good tight eaton rear end.... new exhaust also and brakes.

Any way maybe find the ultimate short wide 4x4 that need s all of the above and just retire the K-20 frame and body..............

Re: deer gets another one

heck, for that matter, I have over a grand invested in just glass and exhaust..................not to mention all of the inside cab goodies like seals, regulators, mat, replacement OEM style speaker, a Sun tach that is a real Sun tach from the late 50s early 60s upgraded to modern ignition capabilitys (that was almost 500 to do)

What can I say...............the truck is me!
