Well ya'll, it's been quite a while since I posted anything and a long ass time since I actually did anything to the truck. Long story short, I...

Sorry...Airman.

Just my two cents, but if you have the recurring problem of your ride dying on railroad tracks or in the middle of busy intersections, or...
Yup, like my grandfather always used to say, "Being poor is no disgrace, but it damn sure is a handicap." Anyway, no, I didn't have the spring...
Marks, just went to the NVU site and didn't see the bezels for sale. Are they available seprately and how much? Thanks.
I feel the pain from both of you guys. I had the linkages in and out a dozen times before I got it all where it worked well enough in the rain....

Oh no...do we need to organize a rescue mission to save your truck? The controler for the vacuum motor was on top in the center of the dash as...
Man Fargo, I can't seem to find even a picture of one anywhere. Does yours have electric? Can you shoot a picture sometime? The other good...
Preacher, mine is 360 degrees also. Not sure where you mounted your motor, but if you look, mine is offset way to the passenger side. I built an...

Steve, cool deal. I never have decided if I have the 727 or 904 in my truck. Pretty sure it's the 727 but whatever. My rear end is an 8.25 with...
Bummer, but that's the way life goes. If it wasn't for my wife and kids always complaining about "I'm hungry" or "We need a place to live" I...
For me it's any time I have a long stint that I can't work on the project, which happens more often then I would like. Cause during that time I...
Accidently a MOPAR guy I think. Wife decided she absolutely "needed" an SRT8 Charger...still not sure for what. The daughter wanted an old truck...
4msfam, I've seen the Jag IFS's, but never on one of ours. That set up is nice though. As far as the motor, I'm not a Mopar man by birth so...
Fool, that is a nice ride. I love the lines and the shiny black paint, but Frankie has a point, I figure it's proportional...the straighter and...
