Re: "Rice Rocket'

Man that sucks about your accident. Glad to see you got a fair shake from the insurance and not a bunch of bs. I'm not the type to tell a person what to do but.... KEEP THE LONGBED! Shortbeds are cool too but there is somethin' about a slammed longbed especially 67's and 8's. Keep up the good work just thought i'd throw in my 2 cents.

Re: "Rice Rocket'

Well storm is finally gone im going to hunt parts today...need to ask about the pile of truck stuff across the street, and few miles down an alsehimer guy has 4 of these trucks, and my atv buddy has a swb no rust for 100. So when I get my truck done im going to either cut a lwb frame or find a swb and make a swb truck, and build a motor with my insurance/other $. This is the plan and its subject to change every week lol. Got my carrier bearing on. now I need to find a ride to town to get 2 new u joints and someone to drill my drop blocks, and I ordered the wrong U bolts so im waiting still. Ok going outside! Wish me luck!

Re: "Rice Rocket'

What went down today:

-trailer made from back of truck across the street-dint get ahold of owner maybe tomorow.

-man with alshimers, he wasnt home, doesnt look like he was living there anymore, looked abandoned and broken windows and padlocked doors he was a character! I left a note and emailed his relatives (has other trucks on craigslist).

Pulled my bedside (PITA). Tomorow hopefully i'll get U joints put in and rearend back under truck, then next day or so get U bolts and drop blocks on and a panhad bar.

Re: "Rice Rocket'

sorry to hear about the accident. but at least you can use that wrecked bedside to practice for your filler neck. once you get that bed fixed it'll be a beautiful truck again. i like seeing kids our age working on these trucks. keep at it

Re: "Rice Rocket'

My truck was a 3 on the tree and the guy before me moved to 3 on the floor...I HATE IT!! If it would cost me so much id put it back on the tree. To me the shifter is to close to the bench seat it actually touches it in 1st and 3rd. Plus if you want your girl to get snuggie with you the shifter really isnt a turn on it just gets in the way....lol.

Sorry just realised i only read first page of thread.

The old guys GMC did it have the Grill and headlight bezels still in it?
