Wrap them individually in cellophane (sp??) and ship them on Greyhound. That would probably be pretty cheap

Well, If you can't get rid of them locally let me know.. very interested,,Chuck-thelonerife

I would pay for the boxes and shipping. If you think it would be easier to take the tires off the rims I would pay for that as well. Let me know. My zip is 37043. thelonerife

mike nutt · 01-16-2008, 02:00 AM

jim , the truck really looks great. keep the blower motor. though about pulling my 396 for a 350, but the truck is just to much fun to drive with loads of exrta power. like kevin said , it is a work of art.

**SactoJim** · 01-16-2008, 04:55 AM

So were are the motor pics??? One of these days I will have to cruse up the road and check your truck out it is a work of art!

Thanks Mike.......just something about a RAT....don't get rid of it. that litte blower on mine small block just makes it think it's a big block!

BTW.....work of art is stretching it, but it sure is a labor of love or some type of mental disorder!

love the nardi wheel

**SactoJim** · 02-19-2008, 12:47 PM

Finally got around to building a little sub box with a shallow 10" Pioneer. Gonna mount the amp just left of the box.

Never built one before and it turned out pretty nice.

70short/step · 02-19-2008, 08:49 PM

Looks Real nice!

Rokcrln · 02-19-2008, 10:16 PM

Looks good! I am glad you posted today, I was going to look you up other wise. When I was headed back from Woodland yesterday I saw a truck like yours color wise and shine on a trailer heading up 505 as I was headed down. As it went by I noticed the entire front end was about 2+' feel shorter than it should have been and I was hopping it was not you or if it was that everyone was OK.

**SactoJim** · 02-19-2008, 10:48 PM

Not I......mine hasn't ventured more than a mile from the shop yet. Can't imagine what that must feel like.....bout killed me just to have the wheel fall off and half to redo the fender!

I'm itchin big time to get mine "street legal" since the weather has been perfect the last week or so......I'm sure it's just a tease and we will see more "winter" yet!

FREEMAN70 · 08-04-2008, 05:02 PM

rawraw67 · 03-01-2008, 07:10 AM

Jim
on your 60-40 seat,you said that you took 1.5 inch out of the rear of the Frame,
and 1.25 inch out of the Front of the frame to lower the seat.when I look at the Frame on the seat I was just not sure how you did it.I was going to just take
1.5 front and rear,but want to see how you did the Frame on your Seat.Do you Think you can take a few Pictures of the seat in the Truck and the side shot of the Frame.

**SactoJim** · 03-01-2008, 10:48 AM

Got it........I just used masking tape to tape the cut lines I wanted, used a cut-off wheel and took sections (see red line) right out of the middle part of the supports. if you do it right in the middle, all will line up except the rear (see red circle). I welded a little strap on the rear to strengthen.

I used different dims from front to rear cuz I wanted the seat to tilt back just a little more. 1.5 will work fine front and rear. the inner bracket (legs) for the pass seat is a little more tricky cuz it's doesn't sit flush to the floor.

Awesome truck. Thinking of going with a similar color-intense blue pearlcoat. Don't hate but its a Dodge color.

djw32 · 03-25-2008, 10:42 PM

Jim,
What kind of fuel system are you running? Also, how big is the carb?

SRH916 · 04-28-2008, 11:20 AM

Very nice truck! I have been looking to get my hands on a 71-72, and I found some inspiration. (and its local

) but for now I'm just gonna keep woring on my '75.
