The wheels and tires make a huge difference!  I need a rear bumper like that for my truck.

 

Luckily it came with the truck or I'd have to get one of those stock ones that stick out and don't look as good

 

 

Wow, nice set of rollers it's sitting on now! 

 

Thanks :)

Take me off your ignore list so i can message you :rofl:

 

 

Truck is looking good Fatty..  80 is my favorite year.

No one is on my ignore list. Hasn't been for 6 months or more. What does that have to do with this topic and this guy's truck?

Was very busy weekend ,, on Saturday we replaced knocking L20b with smaller but quieter 1600 ,, used 210 head with the L20b cam on engine as we knew it had no problems. So we effectively removed a quarter of the engine to gain not falling apart screaming down freeway..

 

To Izzo,,,,,,,  pictures or it did happen muther fuq

This truck has to make a couple pretty long trips in the next coming weeks so it needed to be crank bang free

 

 

 

Then we did a buncha other shit to other shit but that is kinda secret shit all up in here.

 

 

lastly a shout out to a young dude named Danny ,, dude you gotta hang with us.

We also  changed out the stock wheels for a set of pizza cutters i have been wanting him to try on the truck since it showed up.

 

As you can see by the frozen puddles ,,, it was a cold affair using the tire changer out in the wind today

I didn't know you could put down fiberglass with POR-15! Kick mass ass! ("Doing the bull dance feelin' the flow workin it workin it" around my living room.) Dialing it in and bringing it back (also catching my breath,) what did you do with all those beautiful black OEM 720 hub caps I spotted in those photos earlier? If they are still holding the yard down, I know a guy with a 41K original miles 720 that is trying to return it to stock that could use them. Nigeria!

 He is likes the stock wheels,, it was almost pulling teeth to get him to try those aluminum wheels on.  Just wondering how many caps do you need?

 

A buddy did his whole front floor of his 62 ford falcon van in POR15 and fiberglass mat , it was Swiss cheese,,,, and  i know for a fact it lasted 10 years before he sold it.  I don't think it actually "soaks in" to the mat like fiberglass resin does, but it binds it together and is strong as if it did.... And if you ever rode in one of those,, if it had a flimsy front floor ,,you would know it real quick. :blink:

Gotta paint over it but since it was just a floor i think we just used Rustoleum from the hardware store.

No, I like the other tires better because they don't have white walls

Needs the mags back on it to look right. You ruined any other look by putting them on it in the first place. :lol:

 

true, but its winter and i can't run those wide tires all year round (the camera made me look like a midget)
