Re: My Facetruck thread.
I remember going to the junkyard, eh, "Automotive Dismantler", in the early '70s and seeing a pristine '63 or '64 Nova convertible waiting for the crusher. Heartbreaking, to say the least. And he wasn't parting with it. I suspect that it was going out as "#1 tin", and may not have had a clear title. I've seen that happen.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Eric, if it was a Cheyenne Estupendo would have you bought it?

It's been a long time since I have seen one with a radio, but no heater option. Very nice looking truck.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I thought that was just another ashtray. A little one for cigarettes and a big one for cigars. But that probably only comes with the CEE option package. Cartel Edicion Especiale.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I don't get all excited about LS swaps. This one belongs to a friend of mine. 6.2, 4L80E. It runs 12.90's and very streetable.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I haven't fixed the broken stud yet. I'd be afraid of welding to the block. You can't see in the hole and you are looking up at it. I can't imagine welding straight up above my face. I'm expecting, once I get under there are try, to left hand drill into the bolt shank and spinning it out. It shouldn't be seized in there, just broken off

Re: My Facetruck thread.
We were milling asphalt for new paving on a city street job, so I salvaged about 150 tons of waste for the drive to the new house.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

He added on a den to his house and I would say that at least 75% of it was built with leftovers from jobs, and it was a pretty dang nice den. It was big and he built it cheap. I have another friend in construction and he saves anything leftover. His storage area is full of lumber and all kinds of building materials, even firewood. I guess after 40 years in construction it accumulates. When I was working they were clearing stuff out. They were just throwing stuff away. There were 5 bolt cutters sitting by the dumpster. They were just throwing them away. AND I DIDN'T GRAB THEM! (IDIOT!! ) They sat there for 3 days before someone with brains finally took them. Now I could use some bolt cutters and I'm kicking myself. It's amazing the amount of good stuff that just gets thrown out on the job.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I spent a good part of the morning going to our yards scrounging. I am running water and sewer 300' and I won't have to buy anything. I fact, I have most of the pipe and fittings for the sanitary sewer in the house.
Tomorrow I will visit sites looking for lumber. If only I could find a few loads of redi-mix concrete.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
When you get to the drywall stage, I’d suggest using full sheets instead of scrap pieces 😆

Re: My Facetruck thread.
There you go. Looks like a nice place.
My road is the county line. I'm about mid way between town, where it begins off Main St, and MD26. Two roads shoot off of mine into the county across the road. That county takes care of the stretch between, where I live, and my county gets either end. My section was always rolly polly leftovers spread with a grader patchwork. Then 20 or more years ago they brought it up to regulation, widened with markings and guardrails. That's been getting pretty rough and been patched up here and there. This week a contractor came along, milled down one lane, they paved right behind him. Then came back back on my side and it is all done and smooth as a racetrack. No grading at all. Everything is tight like they never touched it
