I'm glad I could help. I think some people heat up the frame and hit it in to get the box to fit but I thought what I did would be best. I really appreciate it and will do!

Good lookin build man, Its nice to see us young guys buildin trucks. Im pretty much the only kid at school that can change my oil without breaking somethin. Everyone else takes their vehicles to a shop to get it fixed. I really respect people that do things theirselves.

[David67]

Thanks a lot yea I know exactly what you mean and I feel the same way. There's only a handful of people that I know that do stuff themselves. Most kids are lame these days.

that is so true my rineds all like what i am doing (but besides my best friend hector member fordsucks) they would never build one them selves but i am talking them into getting thses style trucks and then i can be there mechanic

[grayharville]

Very lame indeed. I have a few buddies that are into old trucks, but i still wind up doing most of the work on them. In the past year Ive repainted 1, dropped a motor in 2, and countless other maintenance work on my buddies trucks... owell, maybe one day theyll learn lol

[grayharville]

Sound like a good way to get money Rick... All my friends are broke so i wind up doing work for free. lol

[67chevy1series]

haha well i will probably enbd up doing it for free haha but if they wanna pay me then that will be nice!

[grayharville]

Lol ive gotta start charging... Im too broke to be doin this for free haha

[David67]

Yea my friends really love my truck and appreciate the work that has gone into it but I could NEVER see them building anything of their own...or doing anything minor for that matter lol. Gray I see "86 chevy SWB, One day.." in your sig. There's a kid 2 years younger than me that has that exact truck. Also, one of my friends has a '71 f**d but other than that there arent any old classics.

[grayharville]

Hah, you should see that 86 SWB... Right now the only thing useable is the bed, front clip, and frame, The cab is completely trashed, it has over 3/4 in. of bondo in spots. No drivetrain and no interior. But, One day I want to do a frame off resto, With a 90 GMC clip, a 4BT or 12 valve cummins diesel w/5 speed, red and white 2 tone, ralleys, and either some flat top stacks or 6 inch rolled edge duals

I think that would be crazy and original. And the 20+ mpg would be nice too

[David67]

Man that'd be really sick.

Yea I'd love to have a 5 speed but I'm puting my 4 back in because it's really strong, it's in good condition, and really cool. Muncie SM420. Here's a link all about it- http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/sm420.htm
7.05:1 1st gear!!!!

[grayharville]

dayumm! That was my original plan, a 355 and muncie 4 speed stick, but after i started thinkin bout rowing throught the gears and hearing the sound of a cummins, and rolling coal on unsuspecting ricers, well, my opinion was swayed lol

[David67]

hahahaha yea and bikers in tights

[grayharville]

Hahaa, one of the funniest things I have ever seen, one day me and my bro. in law were sitting at a red light in his sierra denali.. there was a poser biker in front of us... he put his truck in park, jumped out, ran and slapped the guy in the back of the head (helmet), then got back in the truck and we proceeded to smoke him! haha such a great moment.

[David67]

i can just see it

[grayharville]

Oh hell yeah. So where is spring tx near? Im in east tx near tyler.

[David67]

oh cool. yeah I'm about 30 miles NW of Houston. The weather down here has been so perfect lately

[grayharville]

yeh I thought spring was around houston. Weather has been good lately until today, to damn windy and cold today... I finished up a .030 over 350 4 bolt main for the blazer today. Im tryin to get progress on my blazer posted up but it seems as though noone cares lol

[David67]

the wind was crazy but the sun came out sometime in the afternoon and it warmed up. man that blazer is sick! just checked it out a little bit. Yea i cant wait to paint my firewall and put the engine back in.

[grayharville]

Thanks alot, I cant wait to pull that top off and take it through a pond. Ill be lookin forward to progress on yours too. Are you keepin the 6?

[David67]

Yea that'll be awesome. I'm not sure what we'll do with it down the line. It'll probably sit in our garage for a long time if thats what you mean lol. We were going to leave it in there except for that we found the cracks in one of the cylinders and it costs more to fix than its worth.

[grayharville]

Cracks in the cylinders? Sh** man itll run better with those. haha throw a BBC in there

[grayharville]

oh nevermind I just noticed its got a 350.. I just saw in the beginning where it had a 6 then skipped a few pages lol

[David67]

haha yea we built it up pretty stout. It'll have about 350-375 hp with 400 ft lbs torque
