Thanks Steve. Ya you should get on yours, that Hawaiian would look sweet rollin behind that '75... :smile16: Went over to the old place yesterday to see what kinda odds & ends I still had hidin out, which turns out to be not much. Gonna have to dig out my LMC catalog I guess. :cheesy:


Speaking of which, you do anything to the boat, how is that coming. These guys down here have been giving me the same story about that brown vinyl, by the way. Wonder if you could find it online...

Thanks George, should be a fun little truck, hoping the mileage is at least as good as that grey '86...

You wanna buy that grey truck? Its already got that rat-rod patina, just need to drop it & put some wheels on it.. :grin:

It was too darn cold here last week! Hopefully we can get a little warm weather long enough to install the carpet. I mite have found some pleated vinyl located online, we will see. What happened to the 65 F-100? think.gif

 

[Devilman]

Yeah, I imagine so! Supposed to be fairly decent for most of this week, think there is another front coming through Thursday or Friday? But not supposed to be as cold as this last one was..

I just held off, wanted to stay a little newer. Plus it didn't have a heater. :grin:

You wanna get it? It may still be on there for sale... :wink:

 

[Patchman]

Don't need anymore than I have! I've got to stop before it gets out of control!

 

[Devilman]

LOL, I hear ya. I don't think George wants that grey one. I gotta get rid of it soon, driveway is getin crowded. :cheesy:

You got any odds & ends for a 78-79 up there?

 

[Patchman]

What do you need?

 

[Devilman]

Right front turn signal lense is busted. I didn't have any more in my pile o' stuff, still got a couple more stashes to check out though. Called a couple of the local boneyards, no dice. ( One place does have 2 for the left side though, lol... :cheesy: )

 

[Patchman]

I'll check for you!

 

[Devilman]

That be good, thanks! Buddy of mine here is lookin around too, but no telling if he has any or not. I need to look at the other side, see what kinda shape its in.

Na , I will pass. No more projects right now. You know what all you need now is a Hondo project.  :grin:

Yeah I was just funnin... I may rob the pumpkin outta the grey truck if the gears are taller than whats in this one. It sure seems low-geared. Gonna crawl under there today, see if it may still have a tag on it.

Hahaaa, funny man. Nooo projects for me. I got too much unfinished stuff sittin around as it is.

I thought about that too. It doesn't have a tach in it, so I may be imagining it. Guess I'll have to knock the dust off the old Sun... :grin: Just seems like its wound up goin down the road. Of course, I'm used to that '86: 3.00 gears with an overdrive transmission...

 

[KONA77]

overdrive,  there's the difference  crazy.gif

 

[Devilman]

Ya I was afraid of that, lol... :cheesy:

That truck should have 3:50 gears factory usually. The 80'5 truck mite be a 8.8 instead of a nine inch! think.gif

I thought the 8.8 had a cover & came out the back, like a 10 bolt?
