My first truck.

Truck I have had since 1992 is gone as the 4x4 will replace it as my work/tow rig.

work begins again

Ive been off doing other projects;
Got the fritolay truck last week with 4BTA in it for my next project-4door 1950 diesel 4x4 suburban..
Used it yesterday to drag the 2 trucks out of storage, flat tire, mud so i can strip the body on the left and ship to AZ. Thats my buddy Frank-good guy. =)

Amy and I have a lot of books-this should take care of 1/3 of them. Thats 8' wide

.

Went today to see Greg on his lunch break. Got a 4"-5" PVC bushing, turned down the outside to fit the KN filter, turned down the inside to fit the motorcraft 2100 carb on the 4x project which despite the joke in my previous post is VERY much a go. And I drove it in the garage the other day after bleeding brakes and replacing sticky old throttle cable.

making PVC tapeworms...


Mockup using a spare carb...

Giving up for better things.

I've decided to get rid of this 4x4 project-I found a better truck I already had.












-$300.00 security door for $24.99 at Lowes in Redding 80 miles away,












-1991 Honda CRX HF with Yakima sport rack,












-Getting 45 mpg in my new truck................priceless.

Just kidding!!! Im almost done with the 4x4...
