I had to go back and look as to what "box" you where referring too. The plywood came from a box that had some of the gears we machine in house for the wheel driver gear box for the large wheel loaders we build in Longview.

Anyway, drove it quite a few times to and from work, it turned out nice. Very comfortable.

For Korbin's 18th birthday, I gave this truck to him since this is really what he wanted for a driver. Like Sunburn, but just not as nice. He has not really done anything with it except drive it and had to replace the master cylinder. He is having a 12 bolt rear built up with 4.10 gears and an Eaton Limited slip so once that is in, he will have the exact drivetrain that was in Sunburn before the accident. The only things different from the chassis set up on Sunburn to this one will be the Corvette brakes, The No Limit rack and pinion, the PBFab Forward Arms, and the Addco Sway bar.

He is planning to set up the AC and get it working hopefully over the next month or so. I will see if I can get him to post up on here as he puts his touches on White Trash.
Glad ownership was passed on to someone we know. Tell him I said to be careful.....

I will let him know. He has been enjoying it and taking good care of it.

He thinks he figured out the speedo problem and I think he just maybe right. Seems my memory was a bit off as to what gears the old rear had from the original blue truck. We have not confirmed, but we will once he swaps in the 12-bolt rear...

Re: 2 for 1 Part II...

Korbin is in the process of putting in the 12 bolt with the 4:10 gears today. He pulled the cover off the 10 bolt to check the gears, it had 2.73's in it when I thought it had 3.73's. That finally answers the question as to why the speedo was so off.

He had taken it to the drag strip over in Gillam, LA. It was a dog off the line but went thru the traps at 95 mph. He also said it was happiest on the highway at about 90...The 2.73's explain a lot on why it was a dog off the line...

I think he is going to want to switch to 3.73's once he starts going back and forth to Kilgore for classes in the fall. I have a set so its just getting them set up in the rear end to do the swap. We will see what he decides to do...

No paint anytime in the next 5 years. He likes in the way it is.

He needs to concentrate on college right now.

Re: 2 for 1 Part II...

Korbin has been complaining about a wiggle/vibration driving down the highway. Spent some time helping him figure it out last night.

Found the problem. The 12 bolt he just swapped in with the 4:10 gears has a bent right side axle. It is bent at the flange. We are headed to the junk yard this weekend to find a used replacement till he can afford a set of Moser axles.

He came home with this on the back of White Trash the other night:


What do you guys think?

Got the chance to see this truck in person recently, it's sharp. Y'all did good work. And Korbin is a pretty bright kid, he'll take good care of this truck, I'm sure.

Cheers.

That's funny, I like it. It looks like its from the 70's so I'm guessing it was free or cheap, now he has dry storage when he wants or needs it.
