At least the "work" is way fun.

It would be a shame to put all that work into it just to turn around and sell it. I hope everything works out for you and you get to keep it. I almost can't picture the truck (pun intended)... It's been a while since we've seen it.

**CC69Rat** · 02-19-2013, 03:05 PM

One more paycheck fallas .. ONE MORE and I can order my front wheels.

My wheels and a carpet cover for the tank are the last things I need. Then some work on the inner bed sides and she's back on the road. I'm ready for spring!

Rusbuilt · 02-19-2013, 03:23 PM

Sweet! I can't wait to see this one in person!!

Can't wait to see it. You need to post more pics, lots of them

**67cheby** · 02-19-2013, 03:57 PM

Wooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

**CC69Rat** · 02-19-2013, 03:58 PM

It's just sitting there on jack stands awaiting the new 'shoes'

Dad and I were working on the wheel studs the other day. Of course the bed is off, and the front end on stands. We pulled the back wheels off to change studs, and a floor jack underneath the center of the rear end.

I pulled one of the studs through and went to release the bolt I used to tighten / pull it in. Yeah .. NEVER do this.

The back of the truck came up off the jack and tilted forward. The truck was literally tetering on the jack stands, and almost went forward, into dad's Fairlane. Yikes.

It didn't fall luckily, but she came up off the jack about a foot before I jumped across the rear of the frame to hold it down. Scary stuff.

I don't know what it is, but my left arm is so much stronger than my right. Weird how leverage works. I never thought I could move the truck, even with the bed off. I'm double jointed in both shoulder sockets maybe that has something to do with it.

Bennett68C10 · 02-19-2013, 04:05 PM

Wow close call Chad. Can't wait to see this truck done with the wheels on it. Is it spring yet

Glad any chance of damage was averted. Post some pics anyways, threads need at least one pic on every page

**CC69Rat** · 02-19-2013, 06:57 PM

It doesnt have front wheels on it at the moment. Hard to get pics.

. That will change soon though.

Better rethink your jack stand points before continuing... Don't be messin' up Pop's sweet Fairlane

**CC69Rat** · 02-20-2013, 10:12 AM

Well fellas, the wife layed down the law last night. The GMC has to go.

It will be for sale as soon as I get it finshed. Pretty bummed.

**lolife99** · 02-20-2013, 10:15 AM

I wish we had never even looked into Invitro Fertilization. IF you're considering it, don't. It took so much away from our marriage.

I guess when I mentioned I was getting close on my front wheels, it just all hit the fan. Who woulda thunk she was ok with it a few days ago. I mentioned I had planned on ordering them on Mon and man she hit the roof.

**lolife99** · 02-20-2013, 01:33 PM

I would let things cool off for a while.
Tell her you posted it for sale and set on it.
My wife wasn't a car person and never understood why I spent my money like I did.

I would give it a few days.
