Re: Restoring Rusty
I don't see how people can live in areas where you can't drive a wheelbarrow into the back yard because the neighbors houses are too close.
My area is going to stay rural. The minimum subdivision size is 5 acres to stunt hyper development. No more than one dwelling per parcel too. Barns and sheds all you want but only one house to live in.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Just getting caught up here. Congratulations to you and wife for 20 years! That's fantastic really. And this might sound weird, but seeing both of your rigs parked at a campsite underlines the benefit of your investment in the family together. Love seeing it man. And it's good to see Rusty doing truck stuff out in the wildlands.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Gregski or Hatzie,
https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...1&d=1559002593 Will this gizmo read BCM info? Like Service Suspension System codes? HPTuners will not. Any experience with the fake Tech II’s (the ones that aren’t PC based emulators)?

Re: Restoring Rusty
Just stopped by to do some square body research and thought I should say hello to you and Rusty.

just a quick update, the upholster I was supposed to take the bench seat to lives up in the forest I believe he is safe and out of harms way and his area is not on fire, however I haven't been able to make the treck lately and last thing I need is my seat burning up in his shop during this "fire season" |

Re: Restoring Rusty
so a bit of good news finally, the skies turned blue finally (think California fires) and I also sold a Turbo 4,000 transmission from another project for $425 which will go towards the $1 million dollar bench seat re covering
so today my 19 year old son (left his bedroom) and I piled the old bench seat in mamas Honda Pilot and off it went to Dan at Scott's Auto Trim in Auburn (you follow that, ha ha Dan bought the shop from Scott) where I dropped it off with Tim who will have Adrian work on it, ha ha super excited we are looking at black pleather on the back of the seat and black cloth for where the buttocks and our backs will go with gray stitching I think it will look *****in' this may be the first thing I build with my wallet and it feels great! |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Been through Auburn many times. My wife's family lived in Grass Valley, and we spent a lot of time there when we lived in the San Jose area and I worked a "3 on and 4 off" shift at Intel. Used to ride dirt bikes back in mining country with some guys from Nevada City. It was a great place, at least back in the 1970s.

Re: Restoring Rusty
My wife loved Foster's Freeze as a girl. Said there were quite a few of them in the East Bay area where she grew up in the 50s-60s. She also remembers an A&W in Auburn where you could get a root beer float in a real glass mug. I think switching to plastic was the beginning of A&W's death spiral.

Re: Restoring Rusty
I just wanted to say wow.
I sent the link of your build to my 17 year old son. He is getting an 86 k20 (dream car) for him. Your build has given him and myself some ideas, starting points. I'm glad he doesn't think that I am the only that is just OCD about certain things.
