I hear you there I can't remember the last time mine was on the road either, actually its went we got rims and tires and that was about 2-3 months ago myself now its just all torn apart lol but hopefully this weekend I'll get it all put back together and maybe start hitting the streets some.

[THE "10" SILVERADO]

Know how you feel. Mine has been off the road since, well, February last year? Hopefully new drive-line will this week or next.

Just a thought, but maybe the reason it feels bouncy is because the bed is not on it? Just my .02 worth...

lol!!!!

[chevybuilder18]

are you working on painting the bed? is that why its been off for so long? lol you may be a good problem solver, and a fast learner, but your bed is still off lol for reasons we dont know

[JRANGER]

lol no just have to get the boys over to help and because ive been trying to get all the little things done that would other wise be a PITA if the bed was on. On top of that my MMA training takes up most my nights so i usually only get to work on it on the weekends

well it could be a PITA for one person to pick up a bed lol. What kinda martial arts do you specialize in? Kick boxing, Jijitsu, boxing?

[JRANGER]

It was Jui Jitsu but now i train Boxing and Wrestling....and I like HULK SMASH!

You looked like a skinny white dude last time I saw ya.
Check out GM (General Motors) Blue. It is similar. I think there are some pics at the end of Bryan (5150)'s "Patina Burb Thread" that is linked in our get together thread.

Also, I'm a huge person, and I like blue, too.

[JRANGER]

Yeah but is it cheap enamel?

[cubber]

I think it's pretty cheap, but I would prob go with what you've got.

[JRANGER]

Yeah....I guess i can save the blue for my next project

I meant use the blue from TSC. I wish my truck was another color besides satin black, kinda.

[JRANGER]

haha well i dont have it.....but then again i would have to re-do the seats....Re paint the back of the cab...etc.....Plus the trim would need to be redone....IM too far in...Haha....Ill save it for when i get my 68 Stang

[cubber]

Yeah, and you'll still like it when you finish. We need to put your bed back on. Rus and me put mine on, just the two of us. Heavy.

[JRANGER]

Yeah its that time...lol

I bet it was heavy...and its half the size of mine..

[JRANGER]

Well its raining and im not touching anything on the truck sigh...I need more money to buy parts...On the bright side I finally installed a new gauge cluster and fuel filter in my mustang...They have only been sitting in my parts room for like a year...lol

[Rusbuilt]

I like that blue Jeff, I say go for it!

Its good to finally get some of the other things done... I have a bit of a list of things and a few parts in a pile for other things as well.

Keep on keepin on! Like the blue.

[JRANGER]

Well Rus came by today to give a quick guesstimate on some work I would like done.. Then between the two of us and some leverage we managed to place the bed back on the truck

That is awesome!!!! Rus is like magic!

[Rusbuilt]

I've got the magic in me
every time I touch that TRUCK it turns into gold
Everybody knows
I've got the magic in me
When I hit the GAS the girls come
Snappin' at me
Now everybody wants some presto
Magic, magic, magic
