    94 "intimidator" build

    It sucks, but i will keep my eyes peeled for another. I prefer the 97+ myself, only purchased this because of the history on it. Moving forward i think im going to focus on getting my gmt800 back up to par, and finish builing my 99 cummins that i acquired from my father.

    94 "intimidator" build

    Well shes gone. Wife and boy shed a few tears. But they can hold onto their goox memories and not end up with a bad when when the frame snaps and we wreck and end up injured or dead. As much as it hurt to let it go, my family and myselfs safety along with everyone i pass on the road is more...

    94 "intimidator" build

    Well i think this project is over. Truck is back to revving/running fine now that i out air cleaner back on right lol. So then i decided to start descaleing the frame. And that put the project at a stop. Found one more spot and a rotted out cab mount. Between the 1200 for the frame repair..plus...

    94 "intimidator" build

    94 "intimidator" build

    Im fighting a new issue now tho. I pulled the air cleaner off to check the filter, like an idiot i moved the throttle linkage by hand, almost felt like something popped off but i couldnt find anything. Put filter and lid back on it and took it for a drive. Throttle pedal moves alot easier(before...

    94 "intimidator" build

    I can do ot myself, but time is an issue, and if i descale and paint it i run the risk of missing something i might not even notice and then him fixing the known bad and a few months later another bad spot i over looked takes the truck down. I think im just gonna pony up the cash and have it done

    94 "intimidator" build

    Well finally had a break in my schedule and had some free time. Ran it up to a local repair shop and he quoted me 4-600 to fix and plate drivers side frame by gearbox, 200 to repair/plate passenger side frame horn and 400 to needle scale and coat frame. I dont mind the repair quote but id hate...

    Rare paint codes

    The colors them selves(victory red/onyx black) are far from rare, as its the two most common colors i see...but paired up together in a two tone really sets this one off, I've only ever seen one other in person. And seen two(one here/one on google) when researching it. Tons of compliments on the...

    94 "intimidator" build

    Truck holds no value to me, the ole lady on the other hand is a whole different story lol. A frame swap is out of the question, i dont have the time/tools/space to do something that major. It was suppose to be a back up vehicle for the rare instances when one of ours is down, but i can NEVER...
