Re: '82 Shortbed 6.0 project
alright. finally about to make some progress. been so damn busy finishin up school. got a full front suspension rebuild kit coming in today tho as well as 3" DJM spindles. gonna try and get the wheels back on the ground this weekend so i can roll it up in the shop,
because i got a letter from the city sayin i cant have a non running vehicle sitting in the yard, yeah, MY effin yard..grrrrrr. but anyway.... got the old ball joints pressed out the bottom & rivets removed from the top. fun fun FUN. lmao. 3 of 4 were factory originals. and the factory GM Lower one damn near took everything the press had to get it out. gonna get the new ones in after i paint up the arms. supposed to be picking up a 12 Bolt posi in trade for the 14 bolt soon, but i plan on gettin it runnin before tackling that anyway. AND fabbed up the extension for the motor mount so i can run my A/C compressor in the factory location.

Re: '82 Shortbed 6.0 project
I got all excited and looked it up. Why is it called turkey drag if no turkey or on drag racing? I went last year and they wanted 10 bucks a person so i left. Not really my crowd.

Re: '82 Shortbed 6.0 project
I have never really tryed to go in but when i drive buy the entrance the guy that blocks the entrance always stands in the way like he is blocking me. It has too much rust to park in there anyway.
