Both with the truck, and where he lives.

joe231 · 03-11-2011, 04:27 PM

you guys

JohnC · 03-11-2011, 04:29 PM

What? Did you think we were just going to silently let you move North, and not give you a hard time? Do you not know us at all?

joe231 · 03-11-2011, 04:30 PM

nah, I figured I'd get a whole ration of crap

JohnC · 03-11-2011, 04:33 PM

joe231 · 03-11-2011, 04:42 PM

JohnC · 03-11-2011, 04:46 PM

I'll help remotely here from Oklahoma!

Jonboy · 03-11-2011, 05:16 PM

He'll come back. No worries.

JohnC · 03-12-2011, 04:31 PM

I don't think so. He did it once. I think he's gone for good this time.

I could tell that day you guys were at my shop that that family was going back home. I'm surprised it took this long.

Kevin,
You are very perceptive

If he would have moved to Texas instead of Oklahome, he never would have wanted to leave. Can't say I blame him in that respect. Alaska is a little far, though.

scotts62 · 03-13-2011, 11:21 AM

Going to Anna Texas here in a couple weeks to visit a cousin. The times i have been there i couldnt wait to get home

I scored some seats today

Here is the truck they came from.

It only had some slight frame damage

And I don't think I posted about my hidden hitch and my Burb tank all done. I still need to finish welding the bed side and make a cover for the filler inside the bed, but it is fully functional and nice to have the extra capacity. My gauge moves so slow now

But it hurts to fill up

And on the whole Texas "thing", momma always said if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all

What hitch did you wind up with?

MTCK · 03-15-2011, 01:05 AM

Awesome looking build. I really like the tank swap. I think that's going to have to go on my to-do list. You won't have any trouble finding reasonably priced running gear up here, but be ready to pay through the nose on shipping any parts you need. When I did my EFI swap the shipping on the baffled tank from LMC was almost as much as the tank...

Safe travels.

RandyP · 03-15-2011, 08:15 AM

Nice looking seats there Joe, hope they don't take away to much from the back seat leg room. The kids would not like that.

Gas tank looks great in there, glad to see that almost done! Had any luck finding a topper for it yet? And remember, if it were not for Texas, Oklahoma might fall in to the Gulf.

Thanks Marcus,
Shipping is definitely a drawback up there.

Thanks Randy,
We rode in the uncle's '07 crew with the same seats, it didn't seem any bigger than my crew and it was roomy so hopefully they work out ok. I'm not putting them in the crew right now. I'm gonna put them in the '66 for our trip since I will need to modify the seats or the floor in my crew to get them to fit.

I talked to the topper people you showed me on craigslist. They said they have 2 toppers to fit, one for $350 and one for $450. But he wouldn't give me any good pics. He sent what looked like he took a picture of his computer monitor of the craigslist ad. I told him there was no way I'm driving all that way with out some decent pics first. He said he would get back to me, but that was about a week ago....so I'm still looking.

I could drive over to BA if you need me and have a look and snap some shots, or you could ask Pockets to since he lives in BA. Just let me know if I need to help a brother out.
