yes as most of you all know I traded the Green Bean to Bubbaluv for his(now mine) 1950 5 window pickup. well its home and I couldnt be happier. Ive always wanted a 50 5 window and Ive finally got one.....how long Ill keep it who knows, But Im thinking FOREVER!! heres a look see if the NEW hamb will allow me to post pictures still
Glenn its on a 84 GMC ch***is with a built 350 SBC combo...its a rumbler at the least...Ive never had a motor with a cam in it!!! the hardest part is stopping(needs brake booster) and climbing up the curb into my shop without the A arm s****ing the ground...hahaahahaah Im so low cholo now
I went for a ride in it the day Mike got it. Lemme tell you, it's nice, no rattles, squeeks, real solid feeling. The brakes are way slow, but a booster will fix that. It looks to be as solid as a rock too, it's a very nice truck. Oh and it's pre-Orlandofied with it's AR chrome smoothies. I think it needs a couple of inches out of the top, but I don't think Draglinks wants to do that, I can understand, it is a rare 5 window.
Do you know what power booster to use and where to get it? My neighbor just got one of those. It runs nice but the brake pedal feels like pushing on a rock
Mike!! What a nice looking truck! Was this an Orlando ride prior to you getting it? Me and Dan will have to come down and flog it for you. You know, put it through it's paces!
looks great mike,,,,,,is the paint a satin gold?,,its hard to tell from the pics,,,looks like you made a nice trade though
I truley think Bubba and I got what we wanted..sure I dont good, but I spent the last year building the Green Bean in order to do this good!!
Congrat's Mike Kool looking truck! hey ...did you know i'm in Jacksonville today, doing a skateboard demo at kona skatepark this evening at 5PM, how far are you from here? best wishes, CAB
man its about 3 hours.................I used to skate Kona back in the day...I hear the snake runs still there as well. dammit man so close but yet so far...I wish I could cut out and head your way. Are you coming with Tony next month to universal studios for the demo?
Nope I'll be in Australia with Vans for a contest and tour next month! Bummer you live so far away yes, everything that was cement is still there at Kona, they have built new ramps and street course as well, didn't bring any vert stuff ( pads and vert board) so i'll be sticking with the street area with the rest of my powell team mates CAB
Man.. I'm gonna miss that truck.... It was one of my all time favorites. I did take a ride in the bean Tuesday night.... It sho was fun! We looked like a couple of gorillas racing around Sanger Texas in a green lunch pail! HC
Me likee the satin paint, now I can't paint my 52 that color. : ( Is it a GMC truck ch***is or a car ch***is? You might be able to get drop spindles and put some longer springs back on it so you can drive over manhole covers. One-eye is jealous too, he wants a 5 window. see ya weekend after next.
They cut the top off the snake run around '88. I'm still kinda bummed about it. Cab dunno it you are aware of it or not but there is a nice indoor miniramp park at the beach called Skatelab. Worth a visit. Awesome trade. Love the look and stance of the truck.
Truck Ch***is from what Im told....drop spindles will be nice and in time after my waller recovers the shipping cost. I can also get NEW springs and cut them, theyll stand a little taller for half the price.
check out the website its updated with Nugget pictures/ x mas party pics/ watcha running pics and more www.draglinkscarclub.com
you cant run drop spindles on it cause it pushes the front tires out too much and the fenders sit on top of the tires. i tried running drops spindles already. i think i wanna trade back. b
