    Old #7 - OR -Building a work truck

    No work done on the truck. But I did decide to look and see if there was still paint under all the mud today.

    Old #7 - OR -Building a work truck

    The old girl started running like a hammered dog turd yesterday, and I didn't think it was going to get back home. It finally did. No check engine light so I figured it had to be fuel, I pulled the filter off. I am pretty sure that it was the factory filter.

    Old #7 - OR -Building a work truck

    I am getting a lot more than it is worth, but I will still have to work. Some of the farms around here are getting 7 figures.... Now to the truck. If you give a gorilla crayons and tell him to draw a schematic. Now I just need a dry place to work. And if you need professional...

    3 acres. At least for the next 12 months. A lithium mine has a contract to buy my place.

    No work on the truck, because the truck has had to work.

    My 88 Shortbed build

    After the back surgery and the massive head injury Spooky got put on the back burner, and eventually someone came and started throwing cash at me til I let them take it home with them.

    Paused for a glamor shot in front of Mt. Asphalt. And brought home 10,000 pounds of old roads.

    So One final update. I have a badly trashed back. And while I love driving a 5 speed, it doesn't love me. Lifting my left foot over and over kills my back. I pretty much stopped driving BB about a year or so ago. I kept it around because I loved the old truck so much. However, a neighbor loved...

    Old #7 - OR -Building a work truck

    Yesterday morning we headed down to the scrap yard. I had a full day booked and no time for nonsense. Of course, the truck had other plans. The drivers front brake started grinding. It was just going to have to grind. I had brand new rotors on the parts truck so I could replace them when I got...

    From everything else I am finding on this truck those were original to it. Possibly they weren't. but the timing had never been set on it.

    And now from Today And now on IT'S A WORK TRUCK NOT A SHOW TRUCK, the epic saga of one man's demented determination to beat a truck into submission. This morning, Heath and I went to the scrap yard. On the way back the dash nearly fell out of #7. These GMT400 trucks had a major flaw in the...

    Old #7 - OR -Building a work truck

    Yesterday ( about a week after the last post) we went out to put the steering box on #7. Since the tie tie rod ends on Moby were brand new we stole those and put them on. While I was under the truck I saw the water pump was leaking, so I sent Steph to get one while Heath and I put the steering...

    Got the roof rack put on. Mostly because we needed somewhere to put the wagon to go to the airshow tomorrow.

    Old #7 - OR -Building a work truck

    We got all the tune up parts for #7, so we went out to tune it up. To prove how well these old TBI engines run, this engine has not been tuned up ever. The parts I took off today were all factory installed as far as I can tell. 133.000 miles on factory ignition parts. When we pulled off...
