Not having air power really sucks. Does it at least have 220-volt power or are you stuck with 110? My compressor died on me last year. Couldn't do much without it. Cost more to fix than to replace with equal but wanted better than I had. Took me a while to save up for a new one. Shopped around and got a great deal on a larger capacity higher pressure upright compressor and daisy chained my old horizontal compressor tank into the system. Went from 33 gallons at 125 psi to 93 gallons at 150 psi. Makes a world of difference with high consumption air tools like the air grinder and impact gun. The new one is a whole lot quieter too. See you in a few months. Maybe I will have something drivable by the time Good Guys rolls around.

Hey Mike, sorry I haven't been around for a while, no updates on the truck. It still sits as it did in the pictures at the top of the page. I've been thrashing on my house trying to get it fixed up and sold. I think I finally got a buyer (keep your fingers crossed). Once that it is sold than I'll be going through a divorce (told you I'm going through a lot!!). After that and hopefully pretty soon I'll be buying an air compressor and getting back to work on Tangerine (I miss her!!). Anyway, That's the plan, hang in there a little longer, almost have my life straightened out!! Quote:

Hey Buddy I didn't get a short bed or a k-10 I ended up with a nice 94 K-2500 extended cab long bed W/a 4" body lift Most of the parts I have are for K-2500's so I don't have to collect any more parts. This will be a running project.

, , Thanks Tony, I'm going to persevere!! , , Thanks for the Interest,,, I just finished up my divorce and sold the house last year. My finances took a beating. Lost 10 grand on the house alone. I still need to buy a compressor for the shop where Tangerine is at and have it wired in. The nice part is I now live in a part of my friend's (Dan) house that he wasn't using, so I'm at the same place where Tangerine is. It will make it a lot easier to just walk out my front door and go to the shop and go to work on her once I get the compressor. Thanks again everyone for your patience and continued support and interest.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
Hey guy's,,thanks for the continued interest!! No new updates on the truck,,,as you know I feel extremely blessed just to be able to hold on to it after a job loss and a divorce. Since then I've tried 3 new jobs hoping to find one that will pay well enough to get caught up and be able to get back to work on Tangerine. I think I have finally found just the job. After I get done with tax season I hope to start putting some money away for an air compressor. Then let the fun begin! Thanks again.

Good luck man. I'm wanting to do a very similar thing, just a lowered 4wd instead. I hope to see updates soon!

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
Thanks Palf70Step,, I'm pretty excited to be able to get back to work on it!! As promised,, pictures of the new compressor,,,Specs are: 80 gal. tank, 200 max psi. ACFM 24 at 175psi!! This should get the job done! Also pictured is the current state of my truck. Before it got moth balled, I took it all back apart to do the rust repairs and body work on the front fenders and doors. So this is where I'm going to start (again). I do have some mods I'd like to do on both the doors and the fenders,, so that's going to be interesting to see how well they turn out. Thanks again for all the interest.
