Re: "Rice Rocket'
I understand, Im pretty sure that is the gereral consensus. Should i scrap it? I may throw it in the back of the truck and let the auto shop teacher look at it for the heck of it (Dont have that class, but he'll look at it)

Re: "Rice Rocket'
i wouldn't scrap it,just like we talked about i scraped stuff i wish i'd kept now. Get it checked and you still probably have something to build off of like the houseing and axles. If you don't want to build it them somebody will likely need a good housing or something.

Re: "Rice Rocket'
Ran out of gas @ school today cause I didnt have time to stop that AM
Went junkyarding and got the 67 68 hood letters but some of them arent screwing all the way on. Stopped at subway on the way home and had a sandwich. Um thats it, I got some better pix (I think) of the junkyard.

Re: "Rice Rocket'
Got some more hood letters on this AM. Im missing the V, otherwise, Im complete (one of the..tits? broke off the V, still trying to figure out what I wanna do)
Something happeneed to the truck, Its sorta louder when you kick it than it was? Exhaust leak maybe? I dunno. Relays hitch wipers maybe some 'real' drop coils (jeep springs bottom out) spraypaint bed blue new cab?

Re: "Rice Rocket'
I saw someone on here bolt the bushing clamps directly to the frame? (Just throwing that out there incase you put a swaybar on the wifes truck). For tires, Id check the junkyards, seriously theres alot of bad tires there, and also a lot of good tires you could piece together a set of probably if you look hard enough find a matching set with good tread for alot cheaper than new (TIRES ARE $) Dad bought mine, but when the time comes for me to pay for them. Im going to a newer model car junkyard!
