Hey I'll race all of you, just give me the weekend to swap engines and I'll roast you all....well maybe not Rage'n Rat but I trust his engine to rip itself from then frame so he won't ghet far

Since I challenged Eric to an engine-less race and you are challenging both of us...then that means you must not have an engine either...otherwise what fun is that?

If so, then wouldn't a "truck pull" be a tie?

i think for the next truck meet, we rent a drag strip for a day

Haha If they would anty up for a legal race at the local strip I'd strip a couple hundred pounds out of the old burb and run them. Might even leve them old man hub caps on it make it real embaracing when a stock R20 burn serves you lunch. 454, 3.73 gears....it holds it own even for being a 6500lb pig.

I'll race you all...

just not in my truck.

Tim, I don't know why you are giving this guy such trouble. Be glad you found someone nearby who is into the same thing as you, C10s.

Introduce him to the board and if he is interested, he may become knowledgeable (or we can simply jump on his case too!).

I actually DID pop the forum to him. I asked him if he had the internet and he said "Not right now." And I told him "Well, when you do, look up "The 1947-1998 Chevy Truck Forum, they got a forum just for us C10 owners." Hopefully he'll join soon...

It seems that there are always a few certain members that have to make smart comments about everything. Myself I think some of Tim's stories are a little silly and a bit far fetched at times. I remember being his age and Im sure my stories were the same. If someone dont care for a post then go to the next. Just my .02 worth.

i'm going to guess you're referring to me. that's just the way i am, and the way i have always been. both online, and in real life. if you dont like it, you can choose not to read my posts. i havent had anyone develope the testes to come right out and say anything plain out, just the occasional person who likes to beat around the bush.




so far on the engineless race, we've got Eric, Jeff, Ryan, and myself. can we make this a downhill race? i've got about 600# more axles than you guys have. notice they're all shortbeds too? that's kinda wierd.

oh yeah, i got new user text too haha

Ok. Since you mention it, I won't beat around the bush. While I agree w/you that Tim shouldn't be busting this other guys balls because he apparently doesn't know too much more himself, I think you busting Tim's balls about it wasn't any better.

I understand "that's the way you are" which is why I didn't say anything. There's no need to make others feel inferior just because you possibly know more.

[phantom dually]

I really dont see the need for anyone to fear you or in your words (develop testes). This is a online chatroom and balls mean little of nothing here. I simply feel that some of your constant remarks about others lack of knowledge should be a little more tacked and less offensive. BTW I am not beating around the bush. I am just not one who likes to cause trouble for no apparent reason.

[TIMSPEED]

I actually WASN'T busting the guy's balls, it was just funny to hear him talk about how COOL his "stage 2" flowmasters sounded. He couldn't figure out why my exhaust was so quiet, yet when I layed into it, was so loud. Hahahaha

.....So I rolled up next to him, and asked him "WHAT THE HELL IS IN THAT?!?" which he replies "327 bored to 350." Uhh...haha, I guess someone told this guy a stupid thing..that's absolutely nothing special...because a 350 IS basically a 327 bored over. hahaha....

Sounds like ball busting to me. But maybe I'm not reading it right.

like i mentioned before, if you dont like them, you can choose to scroll past. its a free country. as for beating around the bush, sure you arent now, but you were earlier.

Scoti, point taken. i just feel that if someone else is going to bust someones chops for not knowing whatever they're being busted for, the "buster" should know whats going on from the get go. that would be like me going to a Ford site, and busting someones chops for putting the wrong parts one their Mustang. i don't know what works myself, so i would have no room to talk.

[bagged74]

All I'm gonna say is that if you are gonna bust on people you need to be prepared to be busted on yourself. i agree that Tim probably busts on people too much, but he doesn't seem to mind when people bust back on him, so I guess its all good. I personally could do without anyone busting on anybody, but that's probably not gonna happen.

[1FaastC10]

are you referring to Tim, or me?

Naw, I just run into a lot of ignorant people..LoL. But when I say something stupid, I FULLY open myself up to getting my balls busted, and hey, it's all in fun right?

[bagged74]

I'm not tryin to take sides or make enemies here, that was for both of you. It's no secret I disagree with the way Tim bust on people and their rides, but I guess us bustin on him isn't any better

[bigblock73]

Whatever happened to good old fashioned manners, politeness, and courtesy?

Whenever I see someone talk down to people, act arrogant, talk like they know everything, etc...I just shake my head and thank God I didn't turn out that way. For those of you who do do this, you are going to have a long and lonely life...if not now...in the near future.

People will only put up with BS for so long...once they get sick of it they get sick of you and will remove themselves from your lives.

I talk with MANY members on this board, and for every one person who voices their dis-like for people like this...there are MANY more who feel the same way.

Grow up people, get along, and treat each other with respect.
