There ya go. Step back, breathe some different air. Then go back in, give it a swift kick in the nards (or tires, that might be less painful for you), and let it know who is in charge, and that you intend on driving the snot out of him real soon regardless of what his plans are.

While you are doing that, I'll go change my bong water. It must be getting stale.....

VA72C10 · 07-13-2010, 10:43 PM

Glad to see you back at it. It'll be back together and you'll be enjoying driving it in no time!!!

silvereagle07 · 07-14-2010, 08:48 AM

Glad to see you got the rear end installed Josh. Don't get discouraged man. It will start coming together.

**nlped** · 07-14-2010, 10:38 AM

You worried me there for a minute! Glad the rearend install finally happened. You getting really close, and imagine how cool it's going to be to go to some oil change joint and watch those guys ogle when they see the truck and then realize whats going on under the hood.

STOCKISH · 07-14-2010, 11:20 AM

I dont know that I will be taking my truck to any quick lube places but I know what you mean!

If your anything like me, I seriously doubt you will be letting anyone wrench on it when you get it finished.

**nlped** · 07-14-2010, 11:35 AM

I wasn't insinuating that you let them touch it, just let 'em look at it...

silvereagle07 · 07-14-2010, 12:26 PM

Hurry up and finish it so I can look at it while doing an oil change!

americanmuscle · 07-14-2010, 12:58 PM

The peices of the truck look great!

Try not to get too discouraged, I know how you feel though, it took 3 different engines and 2 trannies in my truck before I got her actually on the road.

STOCKISH · 07-14-2010, 02:09 PM

Jeramy, I'll be sure to bring it by to get the services done. Will be needing a 90K after a few thousand miles.

Shorttle attention span they have!

I know, pics or it didnt happen!

I did this the lazy way....

. I used a bushing instead of an adapter. Glad to hear you're motivated again,

. Hang in there, it will come together.

STOCKISH · 07-15-2010, 05:51 PM

Shoot Rob, as long as it doesnt leak! Looks like a good idea to me. It was actually really easy to drill and tap though.

JohnC · 07-16-2010, 03:21 PM

Well while I was gone you were on a roll, then on a tyrant, then back going again. Glad to see you have the ball rolling in the right direction again. Keep you head up, and keep looking at the big picture at the end!

**nlped** · 07-18-2010, 11:27 AM

Anything get done this weekend? I'm chompin' at the bit to rip the body off of my Blazer, but I keep telling myself to wait for cooler weather. Your truck is going to be amazing!

On another note, I see BigArmzz is selling his red truck in the classifieds... That's all you, dude

STOCKISH · 07-18-2010, 12:15 PM

WOOOOOO HOOOOOO! FINALLY!!! The pics arent great but I couldn't care less. I couldn't let Dennis make me look too bad. Had to get something done!

JohnC · 07-18-2010, 12:24 PM

Woo Hoo!!!! Looks awesome man! Take that Dennis, oh wait he put his bed on for his photo op though.

Are you kidding me? I thought I was bad.

STOCKISH · 07-18-2010, 04:03 PM

I will have the bed on permanently hopefully pretty soon. Not going to do it just for the photo op though. Dennis is aparently much more energetic than me.

JohnC · 07-18-2010, 04:13 PM

It's all that Rocky Mountain air he was breathing.

menace121978 · 07-18-2010, 07:13 PM

looking awesome buddy! i'm happy to see you got the cab on there... probably almost as much as you!

yours will be back together before mine buddy

i gotta get some more overtime in before i do too much more

STOCKISH · 07-18-2010, 07:29 PM

Yeah you and me both!

**nlped** · 07-18-2010, 08:15 PM

Looks great man! At least the bed isn't aweful to install. Your mighty close to being done.

Driveway Dreams · 07-18-2010, 10:48 PM

Keep in mind that Dennis had his bed set on, but Josh has doors. Looks good man! Keep at it!
