We are going after a donor truck today. I will try to remember to take some.

Very cool build sir!

I'm trying to get my old C 20 ramp truck in shape.

Bobbyh68 · 10-04-2018, 07:45 AM

Do the pockets have drain holes in the bottom? Thanks for the picture.
Your the man!

A short run today to recover the donor of our next LS swap. What a nice truck to have been crunched by a pine tree!!Time to part the rest out.

**3757chevy** · 10-21-2018, 05:58 PM

Nice score

, flip for ya.

txagincali · 10-22-2018, 12:05 PM

Nice score! Do you have the LQ4 and the 4L80e on that Handy motorcycle lift? How sturdy does it sit up there? I have one myself but thought it might get a little wobbly when lifting it up. I guess with the right supports under the oil pan and trans it could work out well like you have it.

72freak · 11-05-2018, 06:29 AM

Lineville!

**special-K** · 11-06-2018, 10:08 AM

I can image that's quite a feeling running that truck along down the hiway hauling your coupe on the deck. Not just knowing how cool it will look to all who see (that like that sort of thing), but your experience sitting in that seat holding that wheel hearing that engine, looking over that hood.

72freak · 12-07-2018, 02:46 PM

I pissed my pants and forgot who I was for a half hour or so.

**3757chevy** · 12-07-2018, 06:32 PM

LOL. Argh... double teamed...

72freak · 01-10-2019, 02:19 PM

Had a brief moment today!

Nobighurry · 01-10-2019, 05:01 PM

Ok. So what's the school bus back story???

**3757chevy** · 01-11-2019, 12:26 AM

Read back around post 57 thru 86 or so , it will all make perfect sense.

**3757chevy** · 01-14-2019, 12:41 AM

Now, this could be a whole "other" story ... This Cool Bus has the rear already lowered

and the right nose. Just beggin' for a builder like yourself to create a Sweet ride.

And that's a short bus I would ride in.

72freak · 02-03-2019, 08:58 AM

A little glimpse of the beast yesterday and shot to honor the Super Bowl

72freak · 03-03-2019, 07:44 AM

Even modern brakes didn't help in this situation!!

Gokart Mozart · 03-03-2019, 09:14 PM

but there were no busses involved

I hang my wire above me all my water hoses are above me anything I can just tug on and pull the right length is best done that way I will get you a pic later In my shop Time is the Issue no need trying to find some that will take you 30 mins to find. Get projects done faster.

Barrett Jackson was really the initiator of all these folks thinking their $1500 junk in the garage is worth $15,000. They basically contributed to the car hobby being priced out of sight and unreachable for the "blue collar man"

"I saw one of these sell on Barrett Jackson for $150,000"

72freak · 05-04-2019, 06:41 AM

Did a little work this week......Long bed lifestyle!!!

Still cant figure out why these pics turn like this?!?!/
