Re: Captain America 68 short/fleetside
First off let me say Great looking truck. On your oil leak a lot of the time the housing that the rear main seal is in leaks as much as the seal itself. Those seals can be tricky to put in with the housing still on the truck. I work at a GM dealership and you can by the housing which comes with a new seal and housing gasket for not much more than the seal cost.

Re: Captain America 68 short/fleetside
I love living down the street from the summit racing store. I bought a passenger inner fender and bolt kit. It bolted right in with no problems. Also i swapped back to 5 slot mags.

Re: Captain America 68 short/fleetside
Last August. I wanted to try the flames coming out from behind scallops. I get a lot of mixed reviews, but I didn't do it for anyone else.
How's the big truck coming along? -Josh

Re: Captain America 68 short/fleetside
Josh, how can this possibly be true? How could some people, even one person NOT like the scallops over flames front end treatment. It looks Awesome! Gnarly Awesome is what I think. You did a great job with that original design. I've never seen it anywhere else before. It really makes the truck! Truck looks great BTW, really enjoy seeing the updates. You've come a long way since the Tiger Print interior and the glitter thrown on the truck, like the PO was feeding chickens.

Re: Captain America 68 short/fleetside
Well i traded the captain in for a trailblazer this weekend. A guy in fort Myers, Florida had a wrecked 2006 trailblazer ss on Craigslist. I asked if he was interested in my truck for trade. He actually has a c10 in a friend's garage he's been working on. I drive down and we traded vehicles. His was wrecked, but no frame damage.
2 weeks earlier, i bought a 1968 jeep Wagoneer with 36,000 original miles on it. The plan is to cut out the floor pans and fire walls of the jeep and the trailblazer and swap bodies. I've got to get my garage built first, but I'm excited to get started. -Josh

Re: Captain America 68 short/fleetside
Hate to see Cap move on, but I've always loved Wagoneers. Hope that build goes well.
