Re: The Snortin' bull
Even though the cab is tight and rust free.The corner supports had a thud sound to them.They where packed solid with dirt.It bugged for sometime .Both side's now have extra drain's.

Re: The Snortin' bull
Having time to rack the truck up in the air has been a relief the whole build had been on the ground.

Re: The Snortin' bull
The truck got aligned and preliminary tuned for the break in period. Than will retune the engine after around 500 miles, Got about 65 miles on the clock this week and The Snortin bull had it's first event today.An NSRA inspection day.

Re: The Snortin' bull
Got 250 miles on it this past weeks. Doing so tuning and running a wide band to watch tune.,The Snortin' Bull has ball's flat out hual's. Moved the front license plate up, it looked like a tongue hanging out and cuaght the ground often.Parked next to my S-Duty it makes ford's look ugly.

Re: The Snortin' bull
It may not be no LS engine though it is a project that did need one.As much as possible was all day's gone by in thought.

Re: The Snortin' bull
I meant to say not a project for an LS style engine as this was all done with old style thought,

Re: The Snortin' bull
Got a spare tailgate from a buddy today.I got a plan for it.Not sure what the previous owner was doing with it.Check out the bracket's bolted to it.No pivot's or chain lock tab's.

Both financially and more importantly..... Emotionally, to know what you have and are doing is noticed. I think these trucks are definitely getting more attention now. The tailgate idea is great for your style truck. I want to find the letters off a Stepside tailgate for the same reason.

Re: The Snortin' bull
Looks great!
Someone asking if your trucks for sale is an ego stroke for sure! |

Re: The Snortin' bull
The right door relay to latch was a problem.It kept jambing.In the past if you look hard a sheet metal screw was used to hold the pivot together.This flexed and trapped everbody as it would not release latch. Had to get a new one. At the same putting a lock cylinder in rh o/s handle.

Re: The Snortin' bull
That spare tailgate, was it an idea similar to this perhaps?
I saw this and thought it was kind of cool. Would one way to utilize a bad tailgate. ![]() |
