Larry. That sucks. .....at least they made it out. Things can be replaced over time. People can't.

Rich. It's a divorced 205. I'm going to use BOTH the married and the divorced case in EQ. That'll make my final drive ratio about 10.68:1. That's what I need to turn the 66s.

 

Larry sorry to hear about the wife's aunt and uncle. Hopefully insurance will help out overall, yes insurance does not cover family pictures and that kind of history.

Ok Alan, so a doubler set up, sounds cool.

 

Well it's not a total loss but has extensive damage from the flood waters.

 

Finally some weather I like.

 

Wow. That's an impressive picture!

Ok, so I was either misled, or misunderstood what transfer case I was getting. It's not a 205. It's a Dana 24. It's still a gear driven case, but it puts my final ratio at 10.56:1. I hope that'll be ok. He gave me the mounting brackets and all, so it'll bolt right in the truck. I just have to make the drive shafts for it. (and he gave me the input drive shaft with it too)

I drove the hauler home tonight. It may be the best running vehicle I own. I'm going to pick up the trailer tomorrow morning, then a trip to Harbor Freight, then I get to see if I can tire the truck down by myself. I don't have any help this time, so I need to make sure I have my bases covered.

 

alan what day were you going to do this.. maybe I could come help ya or something

 

The display is Saturday, but I plan on spending the day tomorrow running around getting what I need to make sure I can tire the truck up and down by myself. (without air tools or a forklift)

 

So check this out.....

There's been a lot of empty talk about doing an old school monster truck show. I finally posed the question on the Old USHRA FB page. I asked how many trucks would commit to show. If I got enough, I'd start to research venues and sponsors and such.

well, ......I guess I'm gonna sponsor the event. I have 12 trucks committed to show and the post is an hour old. I have three promoters that want to help and a few track builders and general help. There's gonna be an old school monster truck throw down next year if this all works out.

 

good morning Missouri..... alan will you have access to 110V.. I can bring my little air comp. .. I also have a big bottle jack..(for semi trucks).. I may even be able to bring a slight amount of muscle..

 

Morning folks, so its finally friday....

 

Just one loose on each side? Thanks for the info by the way.

 

Alan, that is some real cool goings on there. I'll definitely go!

 

Injectors are in republic. Hope they are at the house today.

 

Good morning all. Been a busy week and not letting up. Working til 8:00 here most every day this week has cut into progress at the shop. I might have to do some customer work this weekend...I hope not, but if I have to I will.

 

Alan, B&K tire on Scenic has a big monster Dodge, They used to be on Glenstone and parked the truck out by the road.
You might see if they'll bring the truck to your show.
