Yep they have some pretty good yards. Crosses it just down from Wright brothers truck stop he really is reasonable especially if you pull your own. You might give that craigslist a try I think he was really needing to move it.If you need me to check on stuff up here let me know.

spudtruck · 10-19-2009, 12:11 AM

I wish it was my old chev. That is the one that sits in front of the Spud drive in theatre over in Driggs, but you probably already knew that.

daverod · 10-20-2009, 11:34 PM

Just bought some modular 2 1/2 " dropped spindles from cpp. Now I can start working on my front end. Going with a rack and pinion. Just have to find out how to hook it up to my cross member. I can post again.

bubba327 · 10-20-2009, 11:40 PM

I'll be watching how easily the rack and pinion goes in, I have an uncle who plans on installing a rack in his 58 apache.

Gee it is great to attach stuff to posts again!!

daverod · 10-20-2009, 11:43 PM

How's your trans stuff going?

daverod · 10-20-2009, 11:59 PM

Cut the bumper brackets off. Cleaned up my a arms. Need to order some ball joints. Going to get the newer 73 ones.

Strodder · 10-21-2009, 11:02 AM

You should have made the lower A Arm air bag mounts while you still had them on? It's very critical where you position the bags. Also have to cut where the upper part of the bag mounts. The bag CAN NOT TOUCH ANYTHING, or it will wear a hole in it.

Dennis - cool pic.

Now you tell me.

Thanks Dennis. I still have time. I'm going to put it all together when I get my spindles. I never really thought about how the bags hooked on to the arms. I guess I'll have to order some more bags and cups?

bubba327 · 10-20-2009, 11:57 PM

I should get the new flex plate in tomorrow if time permits,I picked up the new starter today, but A-Zone had robbed the box and taken out the shims and the measuring gauge for starter clearance, so I have to return and borrow some from another box! I can't work on it every night or my wife pitches a fit and there is %$#@ in camp!

Gage me and Dave have never met before. I was giving him a hard time so he just had to bring my truck into it. My friend did weld that before I bought the truck. This is one of my first welds.

daverod · 10-23-2009, 07:42 PM

Parts fairy dropped off some Vette bezels.

Now all I have to do is find some time.

I know I wore my track out so I'm swapping it for the old ladies. Then she's getting my buddies old one.

We don't get any real snow till the end of Dec. Last year first ride was in 5 feet of fluff. It was scary deep. People stuck everywhere. Thought for sure I'd see dead people in the news the next day.

joe231 · 10-23-2009, 09:29 PM

man I miss the snow......sounds like Idaho gets some good stuff, huh?
I have only ridden in Alaska, and only a couple of seasons, but it is in my blood and I miss is horribly...feel free to post more sledding pics

are you a member of any of the sled forums?
