Cool truck! Those rally's look sick on it. Very clean.. Welcome to the square side...

That truck is bad@$$! I love it just the way it sits. Nice score. In the midwest, that rust free bed would probably be north of $1000 alone! Enjoy it!

slimneverdies · 12-17-2008, 08:16 PM

Thanks fellas. Next week I probably go ahead and sand it down to bare metal so it can go into primer. I want a deep rich red but not candy apple. My mechanic wants to wait until Feb to put the 5.3 that I found. So its looks like everything has to wait.

Hey fellas! Im having a little trouble trying to do my first oil change. Im trying to take off the oil filter and replace it but that bad boy is stuck!! I have the oil can pliers and all they have done is crush the bottom of the filter. Now I cant even drive to Goodyear to have them take it off. I need some advice fella's. Please help

Jam a screw driver all the way thru it then tap the sides of the screwdriver with a hammer to break it loose.
6 times I've had to do this in the past and only once (the first time) did I end up tearing the filter all to hade's

Most people don't realize that:
1. You need to put a little oil on the rubber gasket.
2. You only need to get it hand tight.

That truck looks very clean. Love the color and wheels! Wish my 87 was as clean as that!

Nice find!

northern 85 · 01-04-2009, 07:57 PM

Welcome, nice truck, i say keep it a dark color it looks bad azz!

slimneverdies · 01-04-2009, 08:02 PM

Thanks guys. I tried the screwdriver with the hammer technique and trashed the heck out of the oil filter. It work after about 2 hours of wrenching and jamming my fingers in that small space. Thanks for the tip. Thats why I cant get enough of this site

It seems everything on this truck is locked on tight.

Also thanks for all the compliments on the new(old) truck. I have a lot planned for it and too many project going on at once. My engine tech is being very lazy with the hook up on the motor. So I decided to start buying my suspension stuff to lay the frame. I have two projects going on at once,so this one is going to be a daily driver/rest mod. No rush on this one

slimneverdies · 01-04-2009, 08:13 PM

I was thinking of keeping it the same color but I love red

Im going with the original red with the white tone going through the middle of the fenders and doors. I like the original colors on these trucks. It will be bagged with probably some 22''.

slimneverdies · 01-17-2009, 09:29 PM

I just noticed that Chevicars wanted to see pics of the 69 impala..Sorry I didnt even see the post

chevitcars · 01-17-2009, 10:12 PM

Thanks.

slimneverdies · 01-17-2009, 10:15 PM

No problem. I was thinking of giving it to my father since I never drive it. Last year I drove it probably 3 times. Im starting to really like these trucks

andrewmp6 · 01-17-2009, 10:47 PM
