Not to get off the subject here but when is your'alls next get together in Coburg?

It'd be cool to meet all you Fellas and see your trucks live.

maybe? There is a Coburg pizza Co. in Coburg also.

A couple others are talking about meeting up at the Clark Co Fairgrounds in Vancouver this Sunday for the big indoor auto swap meet too. Check the events area.

Lokar shifters get boring after several miles so with my wife in mind, I'm upgrading the Kool factor in the shifter department. A buddy of mine and I drove up to the Canby swap meet and scored a few trinkets. She says " it's pretty, like a flower" and that's all that matters.

[LT1 Burb]

Did you see any truck parts there?

[NEWFISHER]

Nothing in the 60-66 range, some 67-72 stuff and a lot of take off race stuff. They had a couple vendors and it was cold. The biscuits and gravy were good and HOT! There was a vehicle for sale section and had 15 cars and trucks, one was a 72 4x4 blazer with a truck cab welded on and the bed panel sealed up and looked pretty good. had a 53 hard top and a couple other 67-72 trucks in the mix. I'd go next year.

Clark County fairgrounds next Sunday. You should load the trailer up and get a spot.

NAH, saving it for Portland, give me a chance to see what I don't need.

[NEWFISHER]

keeping the theme going on the cow hide seat, I installed a Bull Horn after work.

.

and hid the button

[Bomp]

Bull Horn pretty cool. Need a vid so we can hear.lol

I guess I got mixed up on which Coburg/Canby pizza location. Im still a bit confused but thats normal

Im in the Salem area. Canby(North of me) or Coburg(Way south of me) is pretty doable. Should have a meet up at some car/truck show or swap meet when everyone has the same agenda.

Hopefully this year I won't have a broken foot and can go to the Portland Meet. Thats a 3 or 4 dayer event.

[NEWFISHER]

I usually live at the track every year at PDX swap from wed to Sunday. This year I'm getting there thurs and leaving Saturday.

We are rolling up to Clark County swap on Sunday. I haven't decide yet to tKe the trailer and camp late Saturday night or get up at the crack of o dark thirty and drive up Sunday. Anyone bin the eug to pdx area wants to go, chime in and ill roll the 50 burb. It hauls 8

[NEWFISHER]

Lokar adapter installed and door knob threaded and installed on adapter. Way cooler than the black knob from Lokar.

[Ta2Don]

Nice Touch!

[hotrodred]

Sweet, do you know how much that shifter goes for?

[NEWFISHER]

Looks like Summit has them for your truck / trans for $259.
Did you call Tom about a linkage set up for your 904?

[tll74]

Hey Jon, did you notice if that 68 C10 sold that was shaved and in primer? It was at canby on the trailer. Thinkin about going to Vancouver too. That would be 3 meets in a row!

[Coach529]

I cannot even look at this thread anymore. Makes me want to buy a 60-66.

Hey Tom!
I did put an eyeball on that truck as I still have a soft spot for the 67-72s. I'm trying to convince my wife that I should go to the swap this weekend. She says " isn't that truck done, what else can you possibly do to it"? I said " why do you still go to the mall"?
Ill see ya up there

That would be cool.....but now I have this crazy notion about putting Henry on air.........

Does it come complete with all of the linkage as its a floor unit or do you still need the trans end of the linkage to incorporate into the Lokar system?

Give Tom a call aka tll74 and he should have what you need to go back to stock. The Lokar set up is in both this 65 and the 50 burb and works well, looks good but pricey

Hahahahhaha! You are hooked!

I have been on air with this truck for a month now, driving it everyday, and there are pros and cons when comparing it to the Burb. I would do it again if I was going to lay frame, cut the bedfloor and modify the front fenders, new PB crossmember etc. If I wanted a mild drop like I have now, I would go static.
