I'm pretty sure she was talking about your outdoor grille for this summer...

No not the grill.I can't compete with that.

ruffrida2005 · 03-04-2011, 08:51 PM

Now how does the engine help the grill?

I ended up with the 30gal Kobolt. I didn't have room in the eletrical box. I'm not going to be in my house but for maybe a couple more years. And it's dual voltage!

daverod · 03-04-2011, 09:42 PM

Well, that sucks.

I don't think that 30 gal would keep up with my 20 ga. brad gun.

No sand blasting for you. I'm sure you'll put it to good use though.

The engine turns the rotisserie and provides smoke for the smoker. Da

ruffrida2005 · 03-04-2011, 10:24 PM

I see.

My dad has the same compressor and I used it to sand blast my frame, didn't have any problem with it keeping up. I had it set to I think 70psi and I was using my pressure blaster.

Also used it to paint the frame. I actully thought about buying him the 60gal tank and taking his. They are about the same in price. Would have been better for the plasma.

daverod · 03-05-2011, 05:41 PM

Brown truck guy came. New floors.

Sanded alittle on my hood. Had to take the whole front clip apart to change the fender.

Strodder · 03-05-2011, 07:43 PM

Your not wasting any time are you.

daverod · 03-05-2011, 10:03 PM

I'm good at taking things apart.

daverod · 03-07-2011, 04:35 PM

Got a S10 frame, 118" with front running gear and a title. $100.

Got the passanger side floor done.

Strodder · 03-07-2011, 09:09 PM

Nice find. No diff though?

daverod · 03-07-2011, 10:29 PM

I heard a 4x4 rear end is wider. I guess I'll try to get a 4x4 one. I'm not sure how much wider it is? I think you have to use spacers anyways. Might be cheaper just to get a reg one and spacers. I know where a cheap reg one is.

Strodder · 03-07-2011, 10:32 PM

Why do you want a wider rear end? Then you can't put wide tires on it.

Nova, or an S-10 with rear disc brakes.

daverod · 03-07-2011, 10:34 PM

The tires rub on the bed. The axle is to narrow. You can use offsets but you still need to use spacers. Rear disk brakes, nice.

britnjc · 03-07-2011, 10:47 PM

Use a ZR2 4wd rear. It is a nice option but if you go wider that 8 inch tires you may rub your fenders

daverod · 03-08-2011, 11:50 PM

daverod · 03-08-2011, 11:57 PM

One down one to go.

Sold my 283 and the 52 frame got some cash for my rear end,
Found a Zr2 (no posi), 10 bolt 3.42 gears for $350.
S10 4x4 3.42 gears for $150.
Zr2 3.73 w/posi $650.

daverod · 03-09-2011, 12:33 AM

Should get my frame tomorrow. The guy had to take the cab off it, then carry it by hand out of the junk yard.

Dumbest junk yard I ever seen. Cars and truck everywhere no way in or out.

Did have a bunch of inline 6's.

sweet70beast · 03-09-2011, 01:18 AM

Where's the yard at?

daverod · 03-09-2011, 01:30 AM

Poky Waynes. No 292's

Strodder · 03-09-2011, 11:55 AM

Are you running a 6 cylinder or a V-8? You might get better gas mileage with the V-8. Long time ago my friend had a 61 Belair with a 6, and I had a 58 Chevy convert with a 283. I got better gas mileage than he did.

daverod · 03-09-2011, 04:29 PM

I'm going with a 8 or a newer 6 maybe a 4.3. No inline stuff I aready have that.

I really want a LS but I don't think I'm smart enough. yet.

ruffrida2005 · 03-09-2011, 07:06 PM

Dave you can come pick up a extra s10 rear end that I got. It's in East Texas.

sweet70beast · 03-09-2011, 08:18 PM

Where exactly is Wayne's? And how are the prices?

daverod · 03-09-2011, 08:32 PM

It's on the old hiway going to simplots just past pacific recycling. Prices seems good frame was 100. I saw a inline on craigs 235 out of a car 150.
