Ok Sock Fers... You thought I did do cars any more!

Just picked this up a few days ago. Took two days and got it running and driving. Still needs some fine tuning, but its a lot further along than the other one. A bunch of the pannels on this one that are bad, are good on the other one.

Yep it defenaly smokes a little. Gunna do a compression test and hope that its only one that has bad rings. Other than a few things plans are to use this thing pretty much as is as a work truck for the house, until the house is done.

What'cha think?

 

You don't mean "didn't do cars anymore" do you? Oh and BTW, that is not a car, it is a truck. In any case it's a nice project and you probably don't deserve the young lady in the photo.

 

Damn... you're right... I mean "didn't do cars"... oh well. Thats what happens when you type fast and don't re-read what you write.

 

i like it , and its good to see someone marry up!

 

Excellant. Welcome back to life. Does this mean we might see you around a bit more? If you need any help you got my number.

 

someone has a smile on her face now that her truck is on the road! congrats...hope to see you guys at dixie fried.

 

hahahaha

nice truck. lil bondo never hurt anyone

 

Well I still am trapped at the house while on reserve, so I still don't get out much.
Dave did you guys end up moving?

 

We'll defenatly try to get there, but my weekends aren't always a sure bet.

 

Thanks... The bondo is only on the front fenders, which will be comming off and being replaced with fenders from a parts truck that I have.

 

Nope. Still in Roswell. Couldn't get our house sold so we decided to pull it from the market and wait.

 

Cool, we'll plan on seeing you guys there!

 

Did you just get finished doing a burnout in that picture or....?

Nice score!

 

If by burnout you mean, piston ring burnout, then yes.

 

nahhhhh.... your supposed to lie and let everyone know how powerful them 6's are!

 

Mike,
If we could do burnouts in the HAMB Hauler with the JB welded block and home made open drive conversion, this one should be able to do it too.

Good to see the wife back in a project.

 

Hey Mike!! Good Job!. I love those trucks. It'll be a blast to go to home depot in.

 

With as low as this first gear is, I'm pretty sure I can... But I'll give it a bit before I try.

 

Cool truck! Looks alot farther along than the other one.
Hope to see you around soon.

 

No flames! That just ain't right.

There a video of the last time somewhere.

 

Hey Jeff,

What type of oil filter system do you have on your 6? Is it a remote filter?
I'm still trying to figure out if I have a 216 or early 235.

 

sounds like a 216....


whats an oiling system on a 6?????? it's burried in a box somewhere for the last 7+ years....

 

Yep... Based on another thred I have, I'm pretty sure I have a 216. AND! I need new rings on every piston.

 

can't we just put that falcon motor in there??

 

I do actually want this thing to be able to move under its own power!

 

Small Block Chevy.
Done.

 

You got one laying around you want to give away? Oh and I'll need a new rear end, transmission, drive shaft.. etc.

 

I guess there is a junk yard trip to plan in the future! I'll bring the generator and buzz saw!

 

You know how you have that can of 2 cycle gas laying around and it looks like the regular gas? Yeah... Well turns out the truck has been running on about 2.5 gals of that stuff. So needless to say since I have now put regular gas in, it is smoking a lot less.

 

we need to send Josh over there with a sharpie.....he'll label everything for you!!!!!
