MicroMachinery Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 My gut is telling me to take another trip to the dumpster. Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Going to the scrap yard with a load of shit from the side of my shop always bugs me. Because it's not really "scrap" for the most part. Axle housings, drive shafts intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, well, the list is huge. It's stuff I will personally never use, but knowing that SOMEWHERE there is someone who will pay more for some of this shit than what scrap price is bugs me. Then again, I have tried selling some of it, and at darn near give away prices with no luck, either that or someone looking to trade me a dead car battery and a used toothbrush for it. So off to the yard it goes. I took most of it in yesterday, had a little over 3.5 tons, the truck almost sat level, it was a good look. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 had a little over 3.5 tons, the truck almost sat level, it was a good look. 1 ton problems... Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Yeah, one thing I find weird about this truck. Normally, you throw a couple of tons in the back of a truck like this and it really smooths out the ride, but with this one, it actually rides pretty darn good empty (relatively speaking of course) but when you stack it full of weight, it gets kind of harsh. I think what they have done is made the leaves more of a progressive rate than the older one. The first little bit is pretty plush, you go past that and it acts like the huge spring that they are.

RatVonDude Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 3.5 TONS???????????? Thats alota cardboard. The thing didn't bottom out? Quote Link to comment
hosestop@msn.com Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hey Smoke did you throw away any tri five rear ends or center sections , need some high gears 3.10s 3.35 for 56 Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 No, nothing like that. That center section was 55 to 64 in memory serves. I will keep my eye open for one. So many ended up in the scrap pile due to guys changing them to something else. Only one I had was for a pickup, but the were a 4.11 anyway. Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 No toothbrush, but I'll trade you some paint for that truck. Only used once. Quote Link to comment

smoke Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I was just thinking about that clip. There are dudes who are REALLY into "fluffy" girls. But....the bigger girls find that creepy...sooooooooooooooooooooo, just lose some weight I guess. Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Actually R Van Winkle, that clip is a perfect segueway from Barbie into reality. I always knew you were sensitive and caring, and I'm proud of you for showing that here. 1 Quote Link to comment

smoke Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I wonder if there will be any pay off for being the first guy to send an old VW dune buggy rim into orbit. I have been trying all morning to get a tire bead to seat. Cleaning, soaping, sanding, polishing the whole deal. I finally just took it out in the middle of my driveway, hooked my air hose to it, opened the valve and high stepped it into the house. Fucker is sitting out there right now with a 135 psi in it. I think it's going to seat any second. On a totally unrelated note, if anyone has a VW rim land in their yard, it's mine and I want it back. 1 Quote Link to comment

smoke Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Fixed.... ...and you try the good old explosion method on the tire? Only time I do that is when I can't get it to start taking air, this is taking air, just would not get me that last "pop". It finally did. Quote Link to comment
hosestop@msn.com Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 If you were in So Cal you could throw it in 100degree heat and would soften up then bead on ,trapped inside with swamp cooler and windows closed . Quote Link to comment
