elmerfudpucker Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Im gonna wait till the truck is back up and running before I start messing with the intake on the goon. I still gotta swap the linkage over from the other carb and I plan on rebuilding it at the same time. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I could have sworn i read you have air shocks on the wagon. Either you didn`t post or i cant find in here, where you bought your air shocks from ,,and for what vehicle they fit. ..He is probably going to need some rear lift, if going to make it over speed bumps they have at his school.. Although i am trying to talk him into lifting the whole car up as far as it will go and running 70 series snows all around , but he`s not going for it ...........YET. Quote Link to comment

Les Shwabe installed 110psi Monroes and the did the front struts and front end alignment too. Granted you can DIY cheaper but I like a warranty on all my tires and shocks. And the ride is so much better now! :D Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 WELL.. I hopefully will have the truck up and running soon. I have been tossing the idea of trading the goon off for something else. I like it and all but I want something different. I am thinking about getting another 720 or possibly a smaller car but I am thinking an auto will be in my future soon. I am getting on the lazy side and tired of shifting. Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Well folks, the truck is back up and running, time to get back to work on the goon. I got a weber, adapter plate and sealant for the windshield. If my effort to aquire the rest of the parts fails she may be up for trade shortly. Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Da Pumpkin texted me that the goon rides like a caddy, sooo I hearby name it the Dattolac! :lol: Quote Link to comment

elmerfudpucker Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Ok, Pumpkin swapped the carb and said it is running much better. Now who has a 5sp that can drop in? I would rather no have to go thru the headache of swaping drivelines if I can help it. Hey Nannerwraper! its been a month, you done yet? I need a fender, taillights, and hatch! ;) Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Well the carb comes out and will go on this.. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 I can no speak for the other stuff cuz,, teenagers be teenagers,,but if one of you two is going to Tacoma ,i could bring the shorter driveline so you can get as accurate measurements as you needs.. Also ..i am about to send you a pm about maybe acquiring a shorter trans. ( NOTE ) ....the driveline will be going home with me also. Quote Link to comment

Trying to get him to the BBQ so you can try working him over ... Here`s your link to the seats retro fit http://community.rat...on/page__st__20 Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Funny thing is I prob be selling or trading this off before too long. It is nearly done and I have my heart set on a 1200. Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 It has been fun, but she is for sale. I need the moneys to move, I am not in a super rush so I will refrain from posting it on cl for the time being. done: shocks motor and trans from Allen Carter 13" rims wrapped in 215/50 cooper cobras 110psi monroes in the rear new struts on front both by les shwabe front end allined tint have a new seal for tailgate window lights and signals work newer alt full tune up. needs: dash wire issue, speedo and dash lights work but other gages dont exhaust could be done. I have the dash and door panels and I may have the dash electrics figured out by the time it sells. Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Gonna hit the Pull a Part late with Pumpkin, gonna snatch a wire harness and a few other odds and ends of this square light 510. I hope I can stay awake long enough! How hard do you think it would be for the truck to pull the goon from WA to Kentucky. My only worry is coming down the other side of the pass...
