Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Found this on craigslist. Went to look at it and it is brand new in the box in perfect shape for $400.00. Not to bad saved me some coin over ordering one and having it shipped to me.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

got the frame all stripped down and ready for the blaster. finally took some pics with the phone. i think my wife took the camera by accident on her three month work stint in south dakota. on to pics



had to hack off the old trailer ball plate my grandpa welded on and the rear bumper that was similarly attached.





for all the great things he was, i am fervently glad that my grandfather was not as good of a welder as i. thankfully it wasnt to difficult to remove either piece.

loaded and ready to head to town

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I found a used set of 71 K-10 mirrors on craigslist this weekend. They were rusty, so I took everything apart and sanded them down to bare metal, then repainted white. The mirror heads are beat up pretty bad, so I used a set of after market mirror heads I had laying around from lmc, it was a fun weekend project.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!


Had this on my 82 Chevy p/u almost 10yrs ago... We yanked the drivetrain and junked the body.. I gave this to a good friend of the family and just the other night he called me and asked if I wanted it back because it didn't work on his car and he knew I had a truck now. I DID NOT do the blue his kid was being dumb and painted it.. So now I gotta clean it up and slap it on my 68!!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Loaded up the burb with gear and 4 buddies... and headed for the desert at
9pm the other night, met up with some other friends around midnight, crashed in their motorhome, got up at sunrise, road some desert trails and eventually to a town called Randsburg (CA), back to basecamp, loaded up, then home. Total distance in the burb - 300+ miles... and 55 miles offroad (on the dirt bikes) within a 24 hour period. The burb ran great.... gotta love it!

It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

All those roads out in the desert look the same, I swore it was the 76 out near Ocotillo. Hoping to get some riding in out near Victorville in the next couple weeks.

Do you have a dry air supply? When I was having trouble with my soda blaster my air supply was not dry enough even with a (1) in-line drier. I added an additional drier...problem solved.

drove my daughter to high school this morning, then went on to work. She loves all the looks Ruby gets when we pull up. (I haven't lost my cool points with her....yet)
