elmerfudpucker Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 That girl ever come by to look at the Goon? No but one of the guys here looking pretty hard... I am guessing Saturday it will be sold. Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Well the rack is done, mostly, still need the lights, I got those coming by Friday. and on to the oics. Getting started at Scrapper's shop, I warped it a bit welding the mesh in. Damn turbo bell is handy! No my welds are not pretty Got tired of welding at shoulder level Leaving the shop, Primer primed and bedlined the bottom Where I am at tonight arriving at work. I have more reflective tape but I needed to use the paper cutter at work to do them better. I will post an oic when I get them and the led lights on. Harbor freight has a 500lb max that has half the footprint and Is made with thin crap, mine is 3x heavier gauge and I had Scrapper (260lb), Scott(215) and me(205) bouncing like fools on it with no issues :o So I think I will be good for the trip.

Tristin Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Looks awesome! How bad does it sag with weight on it? It seems pretty long for just that one connection point at the hitch. Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 About 2" on either way but I have other supports in mind for the corner to the bed hooks that will put a stop to that pretty quick. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Well I haven't slept for 24 hours now, Pumpkin and me got the motor swapped out with the Z24, so far seems to be running pretty good. Hell it fired right up on the second try! I will tune it up, change the oil and filter, dialing the timing in, cleaning the bay and get some more oics up tomorrow. Quote Link to comment

I'm BLUE Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Thats great man! Glad your move went well :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Well I was playing in the back yard and kinda bumped a cinder block with the front right tire. Now the steering wheel is turned a bit to the left. The tire shop is looking into getting the specs for their machine so they can check the alignment, guess the truck is too old for the database...go figure. Anyway got the other side cleared so now the mule sleeps in the other stable for awhile. Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Dam my Mule looks mean even without the canopy! Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I hope you guys are all right down there in the land of the insufferable HEAT, I actually feel sorry for you, no one can get used to temps like that. I think that all 720s look better without a canopy, I removed mine when I drove the dually to blue lake that year I hauled the 521KC 4X4 diesel over there behind it. I hope the heat breaks for you soon. Quote Link to comment

elmerfudpucker Posted July 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 :thumbup: I have a 1981 Datsun 720 King Cab too. Yours is cool though!! Thanks! I'm sure there is nothing wrong with yours that you cant get it to the way you want, it just takes time and a good network of Dattoheads to get it done! It has been a long time from start to now, it will never be finished. If you got an idea, go with it, I personally don't give a shit if someone doesn't like what it can do or how it looks. It is mine, it is me, and I have so much more I want to do to my Lil Mule! So take your Datto and turn it into what you want, don't be a sheeple! 1 Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 One of the nice things about a garage is now my canopy comes off pretty easy and will be simple to get back on as well!! 1 Quote Link to comment
