Longhorn Man · 11-23-2007, 09:33 PM

*1972Ryan* · 11-23-2007, 09:39 PM

I'm in and around Asheville, NC off of I-26 if you need anything, 828-776-9261

woodridge · 11-23-2007, 10:00 PM

If you come on up I-75 through Knoxville give me a call, I'd like to see the rig. I'll PM you my number.

Longhorn Man · 11-24-2007, 10:53 AM

Mike is runnin 4000 RPM right now (no speedo) in Goodyear Arizona... with the a/c on? His text said;
"feeling guilty about using the AC on thanksgiving day"
He also says ppl are screamin by him, but the truck seems real smooth.
I love this one... I asked him about the truck... trying to take a stab at the MPH @ 4000 RPMs, he said;
"350 with points, AM465, don't know the axle ratio. 17 Ft WB, 3 driveshafts, 100 gallon gas tank, Blaupunkt cassette player, NO int RV mirror, H-pipe exhaust COOL AS F____!!!"

Sounds like he's havin a ramptruck-ific time.
That will NEVER sound as cool as burbarific... I don't care how hard you try!

Longhorn Man · 11-24-2007, 11:07 AM

Just got a photo message... I about p!ssed my pants laughing on this one!

I guess rollin with no mirror was really startin to get to him!

stllookn · 11-24-2007, 12:12 PM

LUV the peep!!!!!!!!! Looks like there is a little vibration though...LOL!

Longhorn Man · 11-24-2007, 12:30 PM

he said everything is smooth... the poor pic quality is probably just the phone pic... I sharpened it up a couple times which helped, but added the jagged lines too.

Anyone have a pic of the truck?

IAFF2407 · 11-24-2007, 01:09 PM

sorry about no t-shirts on this trip hotrodmtodd, been in Phoenix for the last week and just catching up. Have fun

Al.

That puppy must have some deep gears, or either he's flyin! My ramp truck with 235/85/16's (31" dia) SM465, Dana 70 with 4.10's runs about 90 at 4000. I have went that fast a few times, but I usually keep it 70-80 range! I can't wait to see the ramp truck!

Longhorn Man · 11-24-2007, 01:29 PM

Since he said he doesn't know what gearset is in it, that tells me nhothing is listed on the SPID, which would mean the base model 4.56 gears. And without doing any math (and no knowing his tire size) that sounds about right.

67_C-30 · 11-24-2007, 02:02 PM

With 4.56's it would being doing around 75 at 4000 with 29.5" tires which is what is the standard 215/85/16's that is the recommended modern tire size for duallys. I went with the 235's to help me on the highway.

Longhorn Man · 11-24-2007, 03:09 PM

I was spot on then with my guestimate. I told him he was probably rolling along at 70 to 75MPH.

stllookn · 11-24-2007, 03:12 PM

Nice way to spend the Thanksgiving holiday! I am having to work AND entertain but will be tossing the old bird into the peanut oil in a couple of hours. At least it is sunny, bright and cold...not a usual Thanksgiving in rain country.

stllookn · 11-24-2007, 03:16 PM

SMOKIN' deal...any Rightcoasters want to drive this one home? Only $1000!!!!!!!!! Not mine but I have been watching it on craigslist...I want it for a shop truck.

Longhorn Man · 11-24-2007, 03:25 PM

what... no link?

GMCjunkie · 11-24-2007, 08:02 PM

At 7:52 PM, Mike was having Thanksgiving supper at The Villiage Inn In El Paso Tx.

It was great talking to you last night Mike!! Looking forward to your arrival and Ive got you a couple TRUFFLES saved, as long as the kids dont find my hiding spot!!!!

Good Luck, be safe!!

Longhorn Man · 11-24-2007, 09:28 PM

Sweet! He's probably sleeping right now then.
Keep us updated Mike!

Longhorn Man · 11-25-2007, 05:51 AM

I want one of jodie's truffle too!

What the heck is a truffe anywas?

hotrodmtodd · 11-25-2007, 10:30 AM

OK Boys and Girls,
Heres the next installment. First, thanks to Andy and Jodie for keepin tabs on me throughout my journey. And of course, thanks to ALL of you folks that have offered up your homes and numbers along the way, I could not be more flattered. Right now I am in the lobby of the Motel 6 in Van Horn TX. I am hoping to be pretty close to Houston at the end of the day. (man this is a big A$$ state) The reason the picture is so blurry, is NOT because of Andys skills, it's because I didn't cut the plastic from in front of the mirror, (which I have since done) I will be taking a picture of the truck when I stop typing, and sending it to Andy. This truck is SO mechanically sound, it is unbelievable. DEFINITELY the perfect truck to drive cross country. I will hopefully talk to you guys from Hart Rods place next. By the way, Rob, PLEASE call me as soon as you get a chance. Take care, Mike

stllookn · 11-25-2007, 12:15 PM

Okay, Andy...the ball is in your court! Let's see that pic!!!! What fun is it if the thing doesn't break down at least once...JK!!!!

Longhorn Man · 11-25-2007, 05:17 PM

Well... at 1:55 PM today, i got a text from him, everything is still goin good. He'd tried sending me the photo a few times but it wouldn't go through.
Gotta love verizon huh?
Trust me... as soon as I get any pics, I'll post them ASAP.

woodridge · 11-25-2007, 06:05 PM

We are waiting.

stllookn · 11-25-2007, 07:06 PM

Mike, I think it is safe to cut the plastic off the peep mirror. It's not like you are going to return it...did you keep the receipt? LOL!

Longhorn Man · 11-25-2007, 10:01 PM

well, it took 12 hrs of him trying to send me the photo... but I finally got it... and WOW!!!!
