Used my snowblower once. Same with my snowmachine. Is it time to go hunting yet?

daverod · 02-04-2012, 02:33 PM

mega carrier

Jeff La · 02-05-2012, 12:38 PM

Wow took a while but I finished this whole thread. Great projects you have going on. Learned alot. I'm having trouble starting one and you've got three going at once.

daverod · 02-05-2012, 12:48 PM

You would be smart to do one at a time. I needed to buy the 64 so I could know how to put my 66 back together.

The 52 was something I was going to buy and save for a future project. That lasted about a day.

idaho66stepside · 02-05-2012, 06:01 PM

Are you sure that carrier is for a truck? Looks like it's made for a tank!

daverod · 02-06-2012, 10:40 AM

Least it's not going to just fall apart like the orginial ones. Whats up with those anyways. Are they even welded on the top?

Could'nt be put together any worse.

Funny thing is the new bearing did cost anymore than the shop charged me for a orginial one. Of course he told me he used the HD kind.

Yeesh,
I just pushed 18" of snow off the top of my ATV Tent last night. I was lucky, it got up to 10* this weekend; thought about going skiing yesterday instead of working on the truck!!

57truckguy · 02-07-2012, 07:08 PM

That is with out a doubt the biggest carrier I've ever seenll LOL

Sorry but I just had to do it....
I ran out today as soon as I got home and snapped these pics of the snow for you.

Wish you and your snow blower were here!!

I could use the help with the truck next week too

daverod · 02-08-2012, 11:15 AM

OK I feel better now. Wish I was there. Looks like your going to need help pulling your metal out of the ice if you don't move it soon.

watahyahknow · 02-08-2012, 12:08 PM

moah just use a propane roofing torch

that will work the metal out of the snow and ice no problem

Those are all the parts I am not going to be using, either thru custom mod, or straight up replacement; like those fenders... so rotted in too many places to bother trying to restore, so replacements will be forthcoming.

Besides at my pace, there is a good chance all the snow will be gone before I start putting my rig back together.

daverod · 05-16-2012, 09:36 AM

Did the relay thang on my 64 going to do it to my 52 also. Big diff.

shrunken66stroker · 05-16-2012, 10:09 AM

52's looking good. I just caught up on that one this morning. You've got your hands full of wires over there.

bubba327 · 05-17-2012, 12:13 AM

Good to see you are still here and making progress.
Spring chores, work and farming kinda overtook me this spring. I am not as young as I was last year, It is getting tougher to get it all done...

I really noticed a difference in the quality of light after the relay addition. I scored some halogens from the junk yard that are brighter than the T3s.

I bet not many people get by the door butler...

What is your plans for Motorfest in July, Are you coming to town again???

I think we'll go to the one at Emmit this year.

I'll have to check on the dates again it was a couple weeks after the motorfest right?

Ya I did the relays on my 52 too. Thinking about putting the harness in my 66 now that I have all the stuff out.
All the butler wants to do is hump your leg or chew your socks. He does'nt really chew them, he just slobbers all over them.

bubba327 · 05-17-2012, 07:21 PM

I think Emmett is held the week after Motorfest in July.
The show in the park is great with over 500 cars but the best part is the street cruise in the evening.
They close off State highway 16 through the center of town. only the cruisers can drag main like the old days.. Lots of street parties and bands BBQ and skin .
But it usually HOT! like in the high 90*s or 100*s
It is my favorite event of the year. I will be there for sure!!

These are taken last year.. that is my red Chevelle convertible

Any good places to stay, near the skin would be good.

Headlight relays look nice!!

ruffrida2005 · 06-01-2012, 01:08 AM

Dave do you remember the stuff you used for your sound mat. I know you said you got it from Lowes!

daverod · 06-04-2012, 10:53 AM

Sorry so late. Peal- n- seal.

daverod · 06-06-2012, 09:53 AM

Thanks Alan. I put them in my 52 also. I'm really becoming an electrial wiz. By the time it comes to putting the harness in my 66 i'll be able to do it blind. Hope your using that truck.
