**Tmend** · 05-03-2011, 02:34 PM

nice so your about 2 hours away.

**Tmend** · 05-03-2011, 02:36 PM

ive been doing all the work in the drive way. but lately the scrap people have been eye balling my stuff and with all four wheels on it know it was time to put it away

**leddzepp** · 05-03-2011, 02:38 PM

Yeah, with traffic

I like inline 6's. Ran them all the time in my Jeeps. Lots of torque, decent on fuel, and you can really wake them up with Clifford components.

**leddzepp** · 05-03-2011, 02:42 PM

I hear you on the scrappers. Been a LOT of thefts around here recently. My neighbor had his catalytic converter stolen off of his Tundra the other night. Copper wire is getting stripped out of anything and everthing too. With all this great weather, it sucks having to work on my truck in the garage, but I saw a scrap truck driving by reaaal slow last week, so I keep my stuff indoors now.

**Tmend** · 05-03-2011, 02:47 PM

yea what sucks is to them its $100 in scrap but to us its priceless work lots of time and effort. ive seen your project good work i like the time you but in to replace every singal damaged and leaking part. i say do it right the first time so you done gotta take it back aprt when its all nicely painted...

That motor is sexy stuff!!!

**Tmend** · 05-03-2011, 02:58 PM

Thanks I helped my boy rebuild it. I came out of his truck only to end buying it off him.
It's a nice rebuild job every single part is new with the exception of the block. My old is up for sale runs real good its posted in the for sale section

Tmend, Just wanted to jump in with some love for the 6cyl. I love the 6 bangers. My truck has a v8 but the next one I get will have a I6 for sure. And you don't have just any 6 cyl that's a 292 the big dog, stump puller. That's awesome man, glad to see you running it. It looks great, I love the look of the I6's, and your project looks awesome to. That will be a fine truck when finished. Definitely looking forward to the progress pics, and thanks for sharing these. Awesome man just Awesome!!!!!
