Ya, pretty busy with graduation and finding work and what not. I just received my LSX Lift Plate in the mail from QuickTime, so I can get back to work now

Gray Ghost · 06-17-2009, 09:09 AM

Cool...congrats on the graduation!

LuckyHenriksen · 06-17-2009, 01:02 PM

Thanks

it feels great to be done

70stroker · 06-17-2009, 08:53 PM

Your holding out on us. wheres the pics.

LuckyHenriksen · 06-18-2009, 11:48 AM

Nothing new to have pics of! Yet

Here is my rough checklist of things to do:

-Pull Engine/Trans
Install head tabs
Install head gaskets
Unbolt TH400 and have the tab that I broke off re-welded
Drill new holes in the frame for the motor mounts
-Figure out a way to mount the new 4 core double pass alum. radiator
-Install FCG tank under the bed
Rig up a bed floor fill cap
Plumb new fuel lines
Install Holley elec. fuel pump and regulator
-Rewire Engine
Get the MSD harness hooked up
Starter hook up
Gauges hooked up
Keep working on cheap headers to make them fit
-Plumb new 3 inch exhaust

(the best part)

That is just what comes to mind as I think about it, there might be more

joeys66pickup · 07-19-2009, 02:04 PM

so whats the deal Henriksen? i see its on CL for 11k(you have more then that in the truck dont you?) someone needs to finish it You or another member because its so damn badass

VA72C10 · 07-19-2009, 04:14 PM

Sorry you've gotta sell it...hope it works out for you...

LuckyHenriksen · 07-19-2009, 08:49 PM

Ahhh you caught me. I really want to finish it, and I have pretty much everything needed.........and your right, lots more than 11K invested. I just lost motivation, and am growing up and changing directions in my life. School, work, serious girlfriend, and new projects (VW, WR250X) are getting in the way. I would love to sell to a board member or someone who would take the time to put it all together.

Gray Ghost · 07-19-2009, 09:01 PM

Fear not Lucky....you are not alone. I am trading my old truck in on a 2005 Sierra Z71 on Tuesday....hope you have better luck selling than I did!

Kudos to taking the new direction....ya gotta do it sometimes!

chevy_mike · 07-19-2009, 11:42 PM

Ahhhh..... I remember when I was young and dumb. I made WAY too many mistakes like this in my life. Too much time and money into a project to only sell it off at a lost, when my whim of the moment for the project was lost.

Boy did I regret a few of those mistakes. Three of those mistakes I ended up buying the same year and model later in life.

Good luck on your sale but if you don't have to sell it, put it aside and come back to it later. Years from now, you will regret it, if you sell it.

Gray Ghost · 07-20-2009, 12:51 AM

I doubt that will happen. He doesn't strike me as the regretting type....I know I'm sure not. Everytime I have taken the road he's on it's been for the better...no regrets!

LuckyHenriksen · 07-20-2009, 11:37 AM

Well I really would like to get some of the money back out, but I packed all the parts in the bed and shrink wrapped the engine and trans in preparation or storage in the shop. If it doesn't sell, maybe I will have the motivation later in life.

LuckyHenriksen · 07-20-2009, 11:38 AM

One of the reasons for wanting to sell is that being 18 and having 4 registered and titled vehicles in my name is kinda crazy. I want to narrow it down to the daily and the motorcycle

72chevyfleet · 10-28-2009, 07:23 PM

pshh if i were u i would never get rid of it that thing is ****in killer with those fat tires on it and its just plain ****ing awesome!!

LuckyHenriksen · 10-31-2009, 07:22 PM

Haha ohh I sold it, actually parted it out, and I kind of regret it

72chevyfleet · 11-01-2009, 03:56 PM

Lame!!!!

texanidiot25 · 11-01-2009, 04:17 PM

Highly disappointed

oldblue1968chevy · 11-01-2009, 04:24 PM

WTF You had a bad truck!! I LOVED that thing!

o well.....im disapointed though.

jgh64pkup · 12-12-2009, 01:20 AM

dude WTF
that truck would have been awesome

MrBeast · 12-12-2009, 03:37 AM

Man, that is a bummer, id have really liked to have seen you finish that truck. It had the potential to be a great one.

**wancosc356** · 12-12-2009, 04:45 AM

Bummed out too. Just went through 26 pages of reading and looking at photos to find out its gone.

Fireshaker · 02-06-2010, 01:38 AM

Huge Bummer man. I've set here for the past hour reading about this freakin' awesome truck. I've been thinking about getting a 72' for a wile now and finally found one just have to get to it.

I have to say I saw the sale coming when you started the new engine, the pictures started getting fewer and fewer..

Sucks you sold it make, it was very inspiring!
