Nate,
I've been away for several months, Soo...I'm catching up with your thread....looks like you've been busy, congrats on your son.

Dale

72BlckButy · 07-01-2011, 07:24 PM

Thanks Dale!

Life has taken on a new meaning and a new speed so to speak.

Would like to see what you've been up to lately on your SWB.

68 TT · 07-14-2011, 02:29 AM

Can't believe I haven't seen this build before. Great truck to start with but what you have done has made it even better. Keep it up.

Congrats on the new member of the family!

72BlckButy · 07-22-2011, 06:30 PM

Actually... I wouldn't have ran the tires on the rallys had they not been there when I purchased the truck. It was actually running 235 75R15's. Not by choice... just by what was available in the bank account.

big_al_71 · 07-22-2011, 06:56 PM

I seen your thread at the top so i checked in just to see if you had something up your sleeve nate...

72BlckButy · 08-03-2011, 03:29 PM

Not actually sure as I never took the time to consider my options. I like a tire combo that places the rear tire larger than the front, but not drastically.

Sorry that's not much help.

72BlckButy · 08-03-2011, 03:35 PM

Quick baby update pick.

The first one is at the 4th of July and the second one was about 2 weeks ago at his 4-month checkup (20 weeks old). (Sorry for the quality of the pictures)

Excellent project Nate! I'm fairly new to the board and have only posted sparingly, but wanted to say how much I love your truck. I only hope to get my truck to the level of Blank Slate one day. Congrats on the baby boy!

Thanks buddy! I have been grateful for finding this truck since that bitter cold night we drove our there in January of '09. It's been a labor of love to say the least.

Painter D · 08-05-2011, 04:57 PM

Not yet

72BlckButy · 08-08-2011, 07:25 AM

Well... keep me posted.

It's a life changing event, but one I wouldn't miss.

72BlckButy · 08-08-2011, 07:27 AM

As for the truck, I'm currently working on the following:

Oil Change
Gasket Change (valve cover, push rod covers)
Upper/Lowe Radiator Hoses
Heater Hoses
Fuel Filter

Mainly just minor updates to ensure the truck is able to still make it down the highway, and most importantly, make it back home.
