Thank you, the reason behind it will become very clear in the weeks ahead !!

I do not have any intentional drop on it at this time.
I did not swap out the front springs from the stock when the truck had the IL6 295cid in it. I hope and expect the sbc 350 to weigh it down some up there in addition to some shorter tires I will put on.

I look forward to that as well.... I keep pushing my "start" date back as I get more, smaller things done before dropping the radiator in and cranking this sucker up.

Doing good, thanks. My build is dormant I think. Heading back home at the end of August, so maybe I'll light a fire up my dad's butt! This time of year is devoted to motorcycle riding for him. Planning to snap a few more pics when we visit, so maybe at least I can add something to my build thread.

[McMurphy]

Ok here we go...................

Plane tickets: check
Cars entered in GoodGuys show: check
Formulating plans with friends and family: check check and check

All you Spokane area guys we are landing 31 July and will be in there until the 30th of August.
Shoot me a PM for my cell number if you would like to meet up for coffee, beer, dinner, lunch, or coming out to our place for camping or cook out !!
We would love to have you !!

Well if you were going to my friend, the weekend of 23-25 August would be the ideal time. Usually we get up there and bust our humps getting work and projects done, then the last weekend we are home, we put down all the tools; work stops, and we have all our friends out for a weekend long cook out and camp out.
It is a GREAT time !! You guys would be so welcome to join us !

[Low Elco]

Batt Mod looks great, and I like the tip painting idea as well!

[McMurphy]

hmmmmm..............

I cannot load pics these past few days,,,,is there something wrong with the site ??

I started having the same problem on Monday or Tuesday. I normally load the pictures off of my computer onto the forum to post. In the past there was an ability to add up to 5 photos at a time.

What I am seeing now is the ability to load one picture and they are now enforcing a picture size limit. I used to load larger pictures than the file limit without a problem. My guess is that the site may have gotten too large from a storage perspective given all of the pictures we all post. If that is the case, it does make sense to limit picture size, storage is expensive from a site hosting perspective.

So now I will admit that I am a geek. I used to run some fairly large software development shops.

If you are running a windows based computer, here is how to solve the problem:

Navigate to the picture you want to load either through My Computer or Windows Explorer. Right click on the picture and select Edit. (The other alternative is to go to Start then All Programs then Accessories then select Paint then open the picture you want to resize).

You should now have Paint open. On the top of the menu bar is an option to Resize. Click on Resize and a window pops open. Once it is open then click the Pixels option. You should be able to enter 640 into the first box and the second box will automatically size. I did have a problem yesterday where 640 was too large from a file size so I ended up going with 550 in the first box.

You now need to do a Save As to save your smaller picture. What I have been doing is just adding "small" to my picture file name so I keep the original and can easily spot the resized file.

You now should be able to select the file and it should up load. I have done this about 6 times in the past 2-3 days and it has worked.

If this does not solve the problem for you, feel free to PM me and I will try to help.

Good luck! Keep the pics coming!!

the blue one with the camper is so sweet!

[McMurphy]

Well since I refuse to conform and dump all my photos on some off-site while the management flips servers, I figured I would treat you all to a new video. (which I had to create and then load up to YouTube which I realize is off-site too...but that is too much irony for me. Makes me feel hypocritical)

I guess the video pretty much explains itself, so no real need for an intro...enjoy !!

Its ALIVE 14 July 2013 - YouTube

[Ta2Don]

To add to the pic dilemma... I recently ran into the same issues and saw a post about this on the "What Did You Do To Your Truck Today" thread.
I signed up on the "Imageshack" Pic Hosting site. You can store up to 5 GB for free and it is super easy to embed these pics into any post. As DaBears offered, PM me if you have any ?s...

[McMurphy]

I hope they get the pic issue fixed, if not, then there is is no point in paying for a subscrpition.
Having said that, I cannot imagine they would make a fundamental change like this and not tell anyone....

Or did I miss something ?

I also have to admit that I am very disinterested in posting photos right now because of it.
Hosting to yet another site, to post links here, seems like twice the work and I am not interested in doing that either because I already slog my way thru all that with posting the videos and that is mentally painful enough as it is too.

(wow am I really getting this whiney in my old age??) Sheesh !

So here's to high hopes of things going back to the way they were !!

[Alan's Classic]

They will get back to normal. They are swapping servers. Read here. Read all replies.

[McMurphy]

Thanks Alan !!

As hard up as I am to show my progress, I am even more hard up to see everyone elses !!!

Your welcome. We are able to post more than one pic in a post you just have to load one then repeat on additional pics. Hope this helps.

Congrats on getting it running. I read your having troubles keeping it running. Maybe I missed it but did you figure it out yet.
