I wish i could sell them for a good price, but the money that is in these, will not equate an economy motor, sorry.

You bet they are from hitting the brakes, i would never spin my tires, what a waste of money. LOL.

the rotors are for a 1990ish chevy 4x4 frt rotor, mine are made by powerslot. And i do have the cad program for the brackets, you can use either a 79 deville rear calipers or i believe mid 70`s impala or something like that. We could work out something for the cad program. I will pm you. Not sure if i should give them out but i feel i should. argh i hate being nice. Send me your email address.

Props for giving out the bracket info. Good things usually happen to good people.

Well i parked her a couple of weeks ago. Wrapped the rims up with plastic, put the car cover on her, and took the battery out and said sleep tight for he winter as she hibernates, hopefully when i take the cover off of her she will meracuriously finished herself and be a nice finished green with the interiorr done. oh yah, the dreams.

i wouldnt leave the aloys under there even if you wrapped them in plastic i would rather have some old steel wheels to put under there during the hibernation .
it not only the fact the aloys will go dull over time and will take some time to polish again when a tire is loaded for a couple of months standing in one spot it will get a flat spot that you will feel when you drive the truck again next spring usually it will stop after some miles but if there not under the truck it whont happen

couple of things ive seen done to classics here when stored inside is topping off the fueltank to prevent rust above the level of the fuel
putting the car on jackstands to relieve the suspension and the tires
mottballs on the seats (when there made of jute or wool)
a moist eater/dehumidifier (dunno if there available in the states they work the same way as those little bags with pellets found in electronic packagingboxes ) in the cabin
vaseline on the doorrubbers and some graphite in the locks and a squirt of light oil in the cylinders
some of the guys putting there oldtimers to sleep are verry serious or plain hairsplitters/nutcases , i've seen them put cars on a lift and dry it with a towel and hairdryer after driving it in any rain .............there wives must love them

[bigbadjohn84]

poor truck... looks sad.. better than mine though... mine isnt covered.. he is just sitting there looking at me every day when I pull in the drive goin pick me pick me! lol sighs. working on that money tree though

[tdave00]

Man, I know the feeling of having to put her up for the winter. I just like a lot of little things getting mine back on the road again, but my wallet told me to hold off.

I didn't realize you had money invested in that cad drawing. I thought it was something someone shared with you or something. If you end up sharing the cad file let me know. I would like to have a copy. BTW. You said you used an early 90's 4x4 rotor. Did you stay six lug?

I have heard and did quite a bit og that, i would put some steel rims on but i have none and not the money for that. Also jack stand will not quite hold up to the grass, i did what i caould for now until i have an indoor place of rest for her. Also some ppl are just plain crazy i would have to agree.

Yeah it sucks, hibernation, as for the diagrams, i will email you them, i do not care. I used 6 lug rotors but you can use others, let me know what you want to use and i will try to let you know if it will work. Yup a 6 lug early 90's to 2000 ish i believe.

[jgh64pkup]

[nuke1]

Thanks, i believe it is a pete Jackson. I love it also.

Are you serious?

I'm thinking this might not really have anything to do with a truck.

[mcbassin]

I thought for a minute Nuke had an update. Bummer...I thought he might have started that cheap paint job. Where you at Nuke?

[highperf4x4]

He boxed it up for the winter

I most definetly would if i could. i have 3 camaros and a pedal car on the go right now, busy is what say, so i am sorry if i have not been around much guys. later.

[Slick67]

Camaro and pedalcar pics will suffice, we just want to see some work!!

[nuke1]

Ok, here is a little project that i am workin on for my daughter, it is a old pedal car, that i am turning into a wagon, it was suppose to be done for x-mas but that willl not happen. i am slightly modifying it to my needs. I found this one day walking with my bud through his fields checking the crops. It was 3/4 buried and i tripped on it, so of course i was gonna take it home. I had to put about 60 shrinks in it to staighten the metal plus some serious metal pounding. anyways here it is.

[nuke1]

Here is some more.

[nuke1]

And a few more. more next week.

[smbrouss70]

That is too cool! She's a lucky little girl.

[FRENCHBLUE72]

That thing is awesome. So are you modifying the running gear to make it longer since you mentioned wagon???

Nope not modifying the running gear really, just gonna add on, you will see in a bit . Has something to do with polished aluminum in more than one spot.
