hahah I hear you man! If you go in anytime soon check the rpm parts we can get locally...the price difference is minimal compare to traxxas stock, but they are of a better plastic that tend to hold up better. I would imagine you'll need lower and upper a arms and maybe the bumper?

On the positive side it is sheltered in my heated garage out of the elements!

YAY! haha So...I'm not much into cb's but a local car audio shop had an all digital classic style cb regular $249.99 for $10.00 new in a factory sealed box!! I'm not a fan of huge cb antennas. Luckily my step dad who owns the hobby store I manage, is a communications shop owner as well. I got a nice antenna that gets killer range....best thing your asking? Its so discreet you will never see it externally in my truck

I got my wheels all cleaned up....and some fair All terrains on!!

The Picture I attached is of my truck, and a man who I met while i was eying his truck....he is the original owner of it...and pictures do not give my truck or his truck justice...his was absolutely beautiful....!

Hope you all are having a good fall, be safe this holiday season!!!

PS I really wish I had the c10 that is featured in taylor swift's "Tim Mcgraw" Video! ugh...drooling...

I know that Del Taco 7000 s and Redwood Road?

Welcome from Utah.

The fact that you are working sixty hours a week to support your family at the age of 21 speaks volumes of your character and dedication to things important to you. Kudos.

As for completing your truck with low funds, many of us here on this site have faced that issue and understand all to well! Those of us who lack funds have to be resourceful. Take it slow and get enjoyment out of what you accomplish.

I did just part out a GMC and have a few things kickin around, if you need anything and are interested.

What do you have left laying around?

Cw72gmc · 11-08-2009, 06:57 PM

Ok Guys! I need some HELP. Today was a great day so I took my truck up the canyons...Coming down the canyon I used my clutch to engine brake so I didn't fry my disks! Well I after the canyon drove about 15 miles home.... Right as I got on my street when I put it in second It will whine as it engages and for about three seconds into accel. I shut the truck of for a minute, went around the block it didnt do it....until I downshifted to pull into my driveway!.... I'm thinking maybe the clutch is just really hot and just needs to cool? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cw72gmc · 11-08-2009, 07:14 PM
