Technical 327 no start and more problems found

And to think this is the same guy that said he wasn't weird enough to do grannies...

 

Aint never been to a goat ropin', but I HAVE seen mutton bustin'...

 

.......
You guy's are freaking me out! I guess you have to wear larger boot's with room in front of your shin? I'll stop there- I don't want to know!
Bling is key!

 

That looks like my eight year olds room. Is the cab filled with stuffed animals?

 

that is to close to home for me....connecticut ? please stop the bleeding!!!!! help it,put it out of its misery,

 

no stuffed animals.......... surprisingly.

you know you want it.

 

It's a weird world, after all.
It's a weird world, after all.
It's a weird, weird, world....

 

it looks like they had to move the crossmember forward when they put the v8 in. they used a hurst stile mount in the front and the later v8 bell housing, this is what pulled the drive shaft forward.

 

i cut off the tube that the rubber/bearing mounted to and made a new one with my slip roll and welded it in place. i then cut the backside off so the u bolts would not hit, like they did. this should work.
new u-joints coming tomorrow.

 

Painful. Guess he has to have all his toys with him at all times.

 

another problem i found was the cross member only has one bolt in it. there are holes, but no other bolts.

 

i am pointing to the original rivet hole and that bolt is in the new location.

 

Over-sharing at it's finest....

 

For how clean the upper floors of this Truck appear, (Art Work) not included,
The lower floors and basement are pretty nasty, This thing needs to come apart and be made right.
Reminds me of a car down here at the beach all covered with glued on Sea Shells....

 

I've seen that car!! On the missing crossmember bolts, he probably needed them to bolt down that El-Camino...

 

we are all waiting for the 'after' pictures. please?

 

There's so much wrong with the truck, in so many ways...hope ya sort it out!

 

Does he realize that Connecticut will tax him for all of those additional "vehicles" on that truck? Seems like someone's idea of a "theme" vehicle.

 

Just glue it with Testers glue

 

between the rails they just sprayed bed liner [?] over the grease, rust and oil. i can clean that up. i just need to get it mechanically right.

they will come as i move along on the project but i think this will be put back up for sale. it is too heavy a truck for what he actually wanted. it is a i ton and would be better as a work truck, not a cruiser.

 

Holy crap! I'm actually sitting here in front of my monitor with my mouth hanging open, at a complete loss for words. I can honestly say I've never seen anything like this. Wait, I have to go back and look at the pictures again.

 

yup

 

Check the tires and rims for heat, if they are warm the truck has a problem with...
Hot Wheels.

 

That is an infestaion of Lilliputian proportions.

 

I AM SO SORRY I OPENED THIS THREAD!!!!

 

The person who put it all together knew they were going to be loading it up with cargo. so they went with the one ton option! Joe

 

I don't think there are any drugs left in there. The previous owner already consumed them all. Pretty sure those crossmember bolts had to go in an effort to save some weight. It is only a 1ton truck.

You could always replace with stuffed animals and dolls.......

 

you are a glutton for punishment!
