Good to see you got the exhaust. You should send a vid e/ sound so we can hear it. You know pic/sound or it didnt happen Your dad sure is the man, for hooking you up bud. Congrats

 

Thanks! yeah, my dad is pretty awesome. I could get you a picture, but a sound clip I can't do. I don't have the technology! Ha.
Stick with me guys, some day I will get this thing on the road..

 

OK I'll wait here Brandon

 

Any progress Bman? That thing have a plate on it yet?

 

Last i heard he was waiting for insurance & gas money.........

 

Wow I can't believe I let this thread get so far behind without any updates.. Kinda dropped the ball on that one..

Since my last post all I have really gotten done is insulation and floor mats. I took the seat out one more time and cut insulation to fill the entire cab floor, and then threw in some old floor mats I had (for now). Eventually I want to buy/make a rubber floor to cover the insulation. All I have really done in the past month is start it once in a while and let it warm up.

When funds permit, progress will show.

 

Had to shorten the video to send it to myself, sorry guys. Here you can at least here it start and run a little. I'll try to get the next section sent so you can hear it run outside the truck.

Brandon, thanks for the videos, bud, she's looking good! Sounds good too!

 

Right on Big B, TY

 

Sorry updates are so few and far between fellas.. The quality of the videos was less than desirable, but all I have to take them with is my cell phone. If I had something that would record sound decently I would love to warm her up and do a run/rev for you guys, she really sounds good around that 3k rpm mark.

 

I haven't touched the truck since I made those cruddy videos for you guys.. Not by choice..

I will be done with college in about 6 months and I'm hoping to get it quite a bit farther at that point. Right now the funds aren't allowing me to get much farther. I still want to do some body work and shoot a coat of paint on it, probably white. Hang in there with me guys, I know it's boring waiting for updates that don't come.. but don't worry, I haven't given up on this one, it's always in the back of my mind.

 

Good luck with college B, thats whats important right, the truck will be there........

 

No sweat, Brandon. I know what you're dealing with, it's been a year since I've touched mine!! Life just gets in the way sometimes.

 

Well guys, I have some good news for this thread

I start my internship Monday morning, meaning I will have a job that pays substantially better than what I have been making for the last several years.. This translates into me having some funds to work on the truck again. My next purchase for the highboy is going to either be a rubber floor, or new tires. I need both, so those will probably be the next 2 big purchases.

I also have a contact that said he would help me do some body work and paint it some time, all I have to do is let him know ahead of time and bring it over to his place. I will probably do the body work before I take it over, so all we will have to do is tape it off and spray on some paint.

I have to decide if I want to try to fix the box that is on it, find a new box, or find a flatbed for it.. Right now I am thinking about trying to save the box it has, but I will have to take a much closer look at it.

 

Brandon that's great news about the internship, good for you Bro

please don't put a flat bed on it, that is so redneck. I would rather see a box with rust on it...
