''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"

[jgh64pkup]

so what do you guys think
yes or no?

[protrash64]

Think about 10-11mpg.

[ruffrida2005]

Think about finishing one project before the other, or unload the both trucks for that!

[jgh64pkup]

i can trade my ford straight across for this one
its a 1990 model with a tbi 350 and those are 38s
the only thing about it is that it has a salvage title
how hard would that be to get insurance and what not

[dammitmitchell]

ask your parents
dude.. seriously SELL the ford to pay for your project...
your obsession and ADD is getting kinda annoying.. you need to learn some financial discipline and focus. Do you think that stang your dad has was just majically grown?

[jgh64pkup]

no but it took him 12 years to build it!!!!

[dammitmitchell]

dude.. im done with this thread...
if i wanted myspace updates i'd be there...

laters!

[jgh64pkup]

sorry
i just need something to drive for now but im tired of working on that piece of crap ford
so this blazer should be easier and cheaper to work on

[ruffrida2005]

Justin chill with Gage man. He's got to learn some how. I know these threads are hear to teach, Say your imput nicely no mater how he takes it.

Why does the truck have a salvage title? If you plan on driving the truck as a DD you are going to waste a lot of gas on it. Those tires cost a lot of money to replace. It's not hard to get a salvage title changed out as long as everything has been fixed. Best thing to do is go ask the DMV about it. Find out what needs to be do.

This is really one time I hate to say keep the **** if your going to drive it all the time.

How much do you think your **** is worth? How much would the 4x4 be worth? I would really get rid of it and get a cheap import and save on gas and all the parts your going to spend on something else. Then put your money into the truck.

[jgh64pkup]

i only drive about 6 miles every day from school to work and to lunch im in a small town and theres not much to do anyway
the f**d was getting sh!tty milage with the 5.4 (about 6-7)
and i dont plan on driving a lot
and the trucks are worth about the same blazer a little more

[ruffrida2005]

something must have really been wrong with that motor if you were getting 6-7mpg. The blazer wouldn't be bad if you dont drive much at all. check into the title and I would say go for it. But you are going to spend some money on the gas. How much do you think it's worth.

[jgh64pkup]

f**d
chevy
oh the f**d had a bent rod on #1 cylinder and the piston was hitting the crank
once i took it in the mud i spun every single rod bearing

[ruffrida2005]

get the chevy

[jgh64pkup]

thats what i thought
im going to see about the title tomorrow

[jgh64pkup]

well im not getting the blazer

[jgh64pkup]

ok i got the f**d running good
now the chevy is back in the shop
i bought a 750 holley spreadbore for 40 bucks an it works good but i have a vacuum leak
i think the adapter is warped

[highperf4x4]

Cool. You realize that you're going to have to start a new thread for the chevy now though right?

[jgh64pkup]

haha so funny travis
i worked on the chevy a little today
i tries to fix my throttle linkage
it wont go WOP only about 3/4

[jgh64pkup]

so we got some wheels at the shop a few days ago
and i brought them home to try them
15x10s in the back and 15x7s up front
should i get them or not?

...man, I'll take the 2ea. 15x10s off your hands.
I'll trade you for some 2ea. 15x7s.

[ruffrida2005]

man I couldn't tell you with out tires on it. Have you done a search on here to see if anyone else is running and what they look like on our trucks.

What bolt pattern are you running? 5x5

[jgh64pkup]

yep 5x5
i found one but it has white walls

[highperf4x4]

DUDE! SOMEONE STOLE YOUR TIRES!!!


I'm just sayin.................

[Alan's Classic]

I don't think the rears will work. The offset is not right. It looks like the outside edge of the wheel sticks out past the bedside. Just going off what I see. Unless you narrow the rearend, but that would more expensive.

[jgh64pkup]

yeah the rear wheels arent the right offset but i dont like my truck low (damn jack wont fit under the crossmember)
its going back to stock height for now so the tires will clear
i think my uncle/boss will sell them to me pretty cheap
i spent about 10 min on the buffer with some mothers chrome polish and made them look pretty good
