Cool

rusty76 · 04-04-2017, 09:14 PM

I like the bumper. Trim the ends and fix it up a bit. I am not a step bumper person but a little work on the bumper should be nice.

67ChevyRedneck · 04-05-2017, 08:18 AM

That actually does look really good!

67ChevyRedneck · 04-05-2017, 01:20 PM

I might be getting old, but I guess I'm not "wearing out" too fast, people give me odd looks when I tell them I've owned my truck for over 20 years (bought it a couple months before my 16th birthday in 1996).

preacher anthony · 04-05-2017, 03:06 PM

Haha. I too thought I was indestructible but then stuff started hurting the last year or two and I'm only 33! I guess they don't make 'em like they used too.

rusty76 · 04-05-2017, 06:04 PM

We are like old trucks. We creak, snap and pop.

If only replacing parts was as easy...

cknfrmr · 04-05-2017, 08:44 PM

I like the wrap arounds myself. Fits the theme. Plus its not something everyone has already. Do what you like. The more stuff you get done the more motived I get. Ha Ha.

preacher anthony · 04-06-2017, 01:38 AM

Dr. Hewitt, read your whole post. I may try the same route you are going, you can still find some nice long beds and decent prices. My granddaughter lives in Winston Salem, I'm there quite often watching her play sports.

My neighbor has had more parts replaced than most cars on the road. Both knees, hips and elbows. Bionic man he is. Lol

Nice shop. How big is it?

**GR8-68** · 04-08-2017, 03:29 PM

The work area is about 1700 sq. Ft.

rusty76 · 04-08-2017, 04:32 PM

That's crazy how much that motor costs. Something speacial about it? I'm just curious. I know nothing about them.

**GR8-68** · 04-08-2017, 04:34 PM

**GR8-68** · 04-10-2017, 07:55 PM

It was a reman. it came with motor, harness, transmission, radiator, motor and tranny mounts, transfer case, radiator overflow, dual electric fans, computer, pretty much a complete change over kit
