Cig lighter doesn't work currently 🤣 But would be a good idea

needs to make it his signature

Dm received thanks

Shopping/work list is currently: alternator, better exhaust work (I do like the sound just not the leak and rattle), weather seals. And bug dguy210 for a print file so I dont have to screw up a clamshell

Snowy river leopard fucjer?

So after throwing this truck together to make it to the powerland show it made it down and back but not without hiccups. made it through the seattle traffic on friday and then had to pull off into a park in seatac. Advise from redeye was to blow out the fuel filter since I didn't bring extra and that got me back on the road to get to orreilleys to buy fuel filters and then down to tdaaj place to get more fuel filters and a few parts. Then gas, food and down to powerland where I rolled in around 11 and parked next to fontana. Was having an issue with my dash not indicating that I was indicating that started somewhere around Portland but powered through in the dark until I got parked. Fired up fine the next morning for a run to the gas station (took a ride from someone else though [thanks busta]) then just enjoyed the show and packed up Sunday morning like normal Drive home yesterday was a trip. Had to jump the truck to get on the road and traffic started slowing down about chehalis and I got off the freeway so that I didn't have the same issue as the drive down even though I had 5 fuel filters. That was a bad choice, I went past Ted's (didn't stop) and kept running back highways. Got stuck in traffic and the truck died just before a gas station. Gas gauge is questionable so filled it up thinking I was out of gas. Replaced the filter, let the truck cool down since all I got was 4 gallons and back on the road after a jump start Made it maybe a mile and died in more traffic so jump start again and got into issaquah and died again. Was talking to redeye and mentioned the problems (about this time he had made it home) and he suggested bad battery, I was starting to suspect the alternator. Ended up broke down in front of a library with a napa right behind it who were nice enough to let me come in at 5:02 when they close at 5. Bought a battery, went to oreilleys, bought 2 more just in case and drove home as fast as I could. The first battery did the trick so the other 2 will be getting returned. But all I can say is I should've stayed on the highway. So I'll be unloading today and probably move it down to the shop later this week.

It only took 2 fuel filters and a battery for me to make it down and back. Definitely need to work out some gremlins on that truck 🤣 Looking forward to next year

Talked to Jay Saturday afternoon and I want to say he said at least 120 showed up but I remember for sure it was the biggest showing this year

some of the videos I recorded talking to people about this truck

True necro thread revival here So 8 years later I only have ducky left, toolbox got donated to helping keep other trucks on the road and ducky became a parts truck and the doors and tailgate were sold off. I now have a title and have been working on getting this thing ready to go to powerland this coming weekend. she was buried in the corner by the wall so i had to free her from there Got her loose and started trying to remember what all I had done before and had to figure out what was missing New carb was needed because at one point I had swapped the 38/38 off and put it on a different engine and had put a new 32/36 on but it got sold off. This one was purchased from redline and installed on a transaction adapter. Had to buy a different throttle cable, don't even remember what brand but pretty sure I got it off Amazon. Choke is just vice gripped in place in the radio hole. Swapped one of my favorite set of wheels that I've owned for datsuns on and been poking since. Radiator got burned, brakes got bled, dz start reinstalled and torsion bars reindexed. Just finished adjusting the brakes after my daughter pumped so I could bleed them this weekend and took it out for a "successful" test drive. Not fully happy with the height of the truck as it sits but overall considering where this truck was and the fact that I welded my first welds this weekend and made some sort of exhaust for the truck I'm happy overall. Had the doors in the loft above where little miss sits, but they needed hinges and mirrors. Hinges were purchased from tdaaj and mirrors were previous purchase from ebay. Would not recommend these ones, definitely cheap and too small which is why the canopy came off. Will eventually get these big truck mirrors installed but not in the cards for this weekend and when I do I'll be putting the canopy back on That first picture before the wall of text is where she currently sits after doing the test drive. Need to eat dinner and take a nap before work tonight and possibly longer test drive tomorrow

if you're not using it instead of carpet pull it out. depending on how it's torn you may be able to pass it along to someone else

i had a coworker get pulled over for cruising because he had things on opposite ends of evergreen that he had to take care of and didn't bundle them so just drove up and down. 3 times in a half hour or something but i meant the show on colby, there's no actual cruising anymore because it's now illegal

I never know about cruising to Colby until after the fact.

Only option is to pay when you get there

Yeah i sucked at pictures after photo bucket died. I had threads and now just work on them as I can.
