Thanks Micheal. I really appreciate it.

On a side note, we have decided to get Laura a 4 door car instead of her having to drive this. So I'm not held down to a two month deadline now. I would still like to have the truck completed by thanksgiving. We have an annual family reunion at our property upstate and I'd like to be able to take it to that so I can trailer my neighbors golf cart up there. There's about 600 acres with trails and the golf cart is gas powered and lifted 12" with 23 inch tires. I'm gonna take it up there so I can hook a trailer behind it and take all the kids through the woods with it lol.

So once I get some work done to Laura's kitchen then I can get hot and heavy on the crew cab

. Gotta make the wife happy. Happy wife happy life. There's is no truer statement in my life lmao

'Sup Chuck? Hows this thing coming?

*Stitch* · 07-17-2010, 10:35 PM

Yeah I'll never ship anything through the post office again. I shipped a radio to a member here and it looked like they through it off the top of their building. I refunded his money andhe came over this side of the country on vacation and gave me the radio back. I fixed the radio took it apart cleaned it up and polished all the little chrome bits and he picked it back up on vacation again yesterday. I can not say enough how great a guy 87bob is. Anyways, and now this. It doesn't look like anything is damaged. The turbo and the intake manifold and the expensive things were shipped fedex. I told the shipper to ship them as cheap as possible. I got 5 packages. 2 from fedex and 3 flat rate boxes from the post office. The shipper was only doing what I asked him to do. Andif the packages were not packaged as well as they were I probably wouldn't have gotten everything or something would have been damaged.

Haven't touched it unfortunately. Got alot done to the kitchen though lol. I've been told I have to finish the kitchen before I start on the truck again. I'm gonna try to do some work stripping the doors this week but it's raining like crazy here.

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-27-2010, 10:07 PM

This rain has been a PITA this year. I'm really surprised it hasn't flooded here yet.

thirdstreettito · 08-10-2010, 11:39 AM

Chuck, DSG makes the stud girdle kit. Just make your own, from what I've read it isnt hard.

*Stitch* · 10-09-2010, 05:10 PM

Ok so I figured I'd bring this back from the dead.

I just bought this truck back from Josh. Don't laugh

Right now plans are up in the air with the truck once I get it back here.

But the truck is bought and paid for and I'm probably going to go pick it up next weekend

I hope you keep it THIS time Chuck. You'll have fun building it the way YOU want it

joe231 · 10-09-2010, 06:17 PM

so what are the plans this time?
are you keeping it 2wd?

*Stitch* · 10-09-2010, 06:22 PM

I don't know exactly what the plans are for it just yet. I am also getting the CUCV 1 ton suspension from Josh so we'll see what happens. I need to get it back to the house and see exactly what I have and get my thoughts together on it. It'll most likely become a 4wd with CUCV suspension.
