Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
Today I decided to go grab some lunch at a great deli/grocery store near where the first shop I ever rented was. My old friend that owns the building got my brothers and I hooked on this place. It's kind of ironic I started the tear down on this truck in that shop. It was nice to drive by it and keep going too. Haha

Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
I took the kids and truck to a show on Saturday. We even drug the Vette out of the shed and cut the roots out form under it.

They probably do. I'm constantly removing saplings from my fence line/yard here. It is nuts.

Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
Nice work Ryan. You seem to be in the 'use it and improve it regularly' phase. I'm jealous. I'm still in the 'work on it occasionally and day dream about using it someday' phase. Even cooler that your boys are in it with you a lot.

Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
Pretty much. I've literally had no time to mess with it. I always have about 15 projects going on at once. Once we had kids, the free time for the poor Vette went bye bye. If it held more than 2 people, it might be a different scenario. I do have some stuff I want to change on it because I am seriously thinking of doing Drag week next year with it.
Quote:
I did use the truck to haul wood for 3 days and took another load of house construction junk to the dump. The next thing I have to do to it is install my trailer wiring, a brake controller, and ditch the little larry valve for a leveling valve. Maybe I'll get to that before the white stuff is flying?

Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
Last weekend I took my boys in a parade and let them throw candy out to other kiddos. They loved it. Then we took it to another car show. It amazes me how many people can't spot non stock stuff on these. I had a guy tell me my chrome must have fallen off my door handles. I laughed and said, no, they're billet aluminum. Then another person wanted to know how I got the carbon fiber on the gauges. Oh boy. LMAO
I've also been hauling loads to the dump regularly. One of the buildings on my parent's place took a tumbling this summer. Of course ewe had a lot of stuff in it. one thing is a Farmall H my father, grandfather, and I repainted when I was in 4H. I'm slowly working on getting the barn and garbage/junk cleaned out of it. I'm hoping to get it all cleaned up before it turns bad out. We'll have to see about that. This load was 1500lbs and the old truck didn't even flinch. Those air bags loved it. I hope you all are doing well and have a great weekend!

Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
Dieselwrencher,
I'm super late to this party but what an awesome build! I haven't finished reading through it but will definitely refer to what you've done when I start my Cummins conversion

What's going on Ryan? I haven't been on this board in some time. Just checking in.
Here's a pic I took at Thomas Mitchell Days.

Hey Bud, how's it going? Thanks for the pic. That must have been before the monsoon.

Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
I still haven't done any more work to the old girl. Just have been using it. I hauled my cast in a little while ago, and am now working on cleaning radiators etc when I have time. This load was 2960. The tires were at 65psi. My little helper fell asleep on the way back too.

Doesn't look like you have anything on it! What's your GVW?

Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
This little guy falls asleep in the most weird positions. I wish I could have gotten a picture of my daughter about 5 or 6 weeks ago. She got out of the semi with me and we put her in one of the combines. I took a trip to town and when my buddy came to turn around he was pointing at something. It was my daughter passed out against the door and side window. He said I moved her but she went back to that spot and she's passed out cold. I told him good enough. Haha

Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
I can't remember off hand what the GVW is on the tag right now. But with the rear air ride, I can set the ride height where ever I'd like with the way I have it set now. The bags were running around 38psi with the weight on them. It rode like a Cadillac. I should have lowered the bags before I unloaded it because they were almost to the top of their range after I unloaded the junk.

I've been seeing pictures of this truck all over the web here lately. I'm glad I was able to find the build thread. Nice Truck sir, you do great work.
