billy

If the "long ones" you're referring to are glasspacks, then I would say yes & they sound way better

Yeah, I love that tray I just need to finish it & bolt it on

Spray-Bomb · 06-07-2007, 12:56 AM

Well I have pretty much decided to put in the 5-speed, but I don't know when yet

GREASEMONKEY72 · 06-07-2007, 02:18 AM

now just paint the cowl that same purple

Spray-Bomb · 06-11-2007, 03:03 AM

I'm gonna leave it like it is, till I get the bags on

I've got another cowl, I might try that & see what I think

Spray-Bomb · 06-18-2007, 02:18 AM

Well I've made a little more progress on my beater

I put a bumper & a hitch on it

I traded my brother out of this trailer, so I have something to haul my trencher with

First load since I've owned it

I'll be going on a job either tomorrow or some time later this week, so when I come back I'll be ordering my bags & other needed things

Spray-Bomb · 06-18-2007, 02:24 AM

Oh & I cleaned my wheels the other day

Looks like I polished em. but I didn't

Before

After

Sorry for the crappy before & after, I seriously thought I had taken some good after shots
I guess I'll be taking some ASAP

Spray-Bomb · 06-25-2007, 12:51 AM

Well I bought some of these wheels for my truck today (accept mine are 5-lug)

Series 186 16x10's

Got em at a pawn shop for $150

GREASEMONKEY72 · 06-25-2007, 02:37 AM

cant wait to see those wheels on there

Spray-Bomb · 06-25-2007, 09:56 AM

Yeah, Me too

wheatlandbrawler · 07-05-2007, 05:56 PM

what trans is it? a long tail th-400? if so that looks really sophisticated for just putting the 400 in i have a th-400 reverse manual valve body with trans brake but its a short tail i just made a tubular x-member bolted it in and took a piece of 3/4 inch plate bolted it to the trans mount and slid the x-member up under it tached it in pulled it back out and welded it up it worked great.

Spray-Bomb · 07-19-2007, 11:01 PM

Added some more color to my truck today

Spray-Bomb · 07-17-2007, 07:25 PM

Well heres an update for ya'll

I found out my air-bags are on backorder till thurs. or fri.

Anywho, I'm getting all the stuff for the front end rebuild this week

Ima buy the 6-lug rotors from CPP, so I can convert my truck back to 6-lug
Cuz I bought these 20" wheels today

Does anybody know what brand they are are what the name of em is, cuz I looked on the back & couldn't find a name

bones · 07-17-2007, 09:53 PM

look like american racing RT-S in black

Spray-Bomb · 07-17-2007, 10:14 PM

Ok, just found a better pic of the ones you found

I dunno what the deal is with mine having the polished bolts, but I think the reason my spokes are more curved could be a off-set difference

Spray-Bomb · 07-17-2007, 10:11 PM

They look very similar, but I don't think they are exactly the same
Mine have polished Bolt simulators & the spokes curve more, but I could be wrong.... It's just so hard to tell in pics

I'll try to get some better pics of my wheels tomorrow

tavenner13 · 07-21-2007, 11:34 AM

nope i wouldnt be able to make it since my 3rd gear is slipping so bad... i could ride up in my blue truck and just not be in the cruise... what kinda stuff normally shows up up there?

BACKYARD88 · 07-21-2007, 11:47 AM

1. Where are you getting your bags from? I ordered a couple more from suicidedoors and haven't gotten them yet, maybe the backorder is why.
2. Red bumper looks better than no bumper at all

3. You're supposed to take the Christmas lights down after Christmas

The last time I called Suicide Doors, they told me they were on backorder till Fri. or Mon

I'm not much of a bumper fan, but it looks kinda cool

Don't even get me started

Spray-Bomb · 07-21-2007, 07:21 PM

Well here's an update

Started on my hood again today & got it ready for primer & paint tomorrow

Also the other day, added a little art to my drivers door

Hmm, wonder where I got that bumper from

He is planning on selling it, but I don't know if he wants to part it out or not
