Wow, its been a long time, and just for ****s and giggles I logged in and see my olds posts are still active. Glad to see people actually cared. As for where my truck went to....I have no idea, no one has seen it since it left my property. Makes me a little worried but I try not to think about...
Without the truck being registered as classic, and with the overall weight and look of it from the street, I wouldn't have won any battle against the city. The unresonable amount of time they gave me to clear everything up just wouldn't allow it. The ordenences very basiclly states that a...
Well its a sad day, my truck will be gone in the morning, hopfully to a good home....I will be pissed if I see it at the scrap yard....
On another note, I will be moving my ass out of the city ASAP....screw all the douchbag neighbors and Bull**** rules....even without an HOA....one *******...
Ok, just for some more info...the truck is not operational, it is costing me $200 every time I need to have it moved....I can't keep paying that. Since Buying the rig i've dropped about $600 in towing alone.
Well I lost my storage last weekend, so I brought the truck back home, today I get a nasty letter from the city code and zoning office stating I will recieve a $300 fine and further criminal citation if the truck isn't moved by the 15th of Feb.
So to all you arizona MV lovers....come and get...
Alright....still looking for a replacment engine, since i am going to keep a diesel in the truck, but I want a little more power and just an all around cool power plant.....I am now looking for a Cummins NHRBS 275 also known as the "Iron lung". These were the supercharged cummins from the...
I need to do a PT pump conversion if I keep the stock engine, since parts for the dual disk pump are non-existant. All the truck wrecking want a premium for they're engines, so the repower is going to take a little saving, depending on what I get for scraping the crane set up and for the...
I dug up a second repower option today. I have a '68 mopar 440 that I had built years ago for a tractor pulling truck that was never finished, about 550hp, 600ft lbs of torque, sitting in my storage shed. A friend of mine called me up and said he was parting out his flatbead that has a rebuilt...
Slow haha, I've been working nights/evenings the last few weeks only time I get is on the weekends. I am almost done with the wiring harnesses, need to run a couple extra circuts for spot lights and a CB (a must have in the dessert here in AZ, cells don't reach that far out and satelite phones...
Buying an engine state side and having it shipped wouldn't be all that expencive, there are options to avoid the chevy disese (sorry i've been into mopars for years, never blown one up yet compared to numerous SB chevys i've seen scattered all over the place)
Sell the Chevy and get a mopar 360 /5.9L engine.....plenty of power and plenty of aftermarket parts available, and it would be a direct bolt in for the truck. For the price of the adapter plate you could probably pick up a lot of the parts needed to build a stout 360.
Got the dash out of the cab last night, and pulled out the butchered and rotted original harnesses. Started to string the new wires last night but ran out of day light. Has anyone ever converted there blackout light for use as turn signals? I am thinking about keeping the housings for them, but...
