I saw that last time we went to Death Valley. Theres one for sale in Big Pine too.

Yeah I don't know what there asking but there's been alot of work already done to it, looked like a 350 was under the hood by the looks of the header, and if I remember correct possibly an Atlas t-case.

I live up in Fallon, does anyone have contact info for the 45 in Minden?

You need to build a big garage for all of us to use....hint, hint...

Let's see how much snow we're under.....

Busy Sunday!!

Finally had the opportunity to start installing some of the stuff I've received!

Spidertrax 1.5" bolt on spacers helped to give plenty of clearance for the wheels....These things are nice! (Sorry about photo quality...it was 26 degrees and snowing all weekend!)

....and then started to remove the rest of the old advertising...

I could tell every time the phone numbers changed....

....And I can still fit into the garage...and out again, with the new rubber!!!

I would have sworn there was a for sale sign in the window.
Probably wishful thinking.

I can second that. I started a thread on mud over a year ago. The truck is owned by a friend of his.

Looking good Andrew - hope I am in the area when you have your coming out party this winter

Did you sand the surface of the hub clean so those would seat?

I would recommend at the very least loctiting the nuts. Double Nut might be even better if there is enough stud.


I had a set of those on exactly 45 miles when one came loos at 65MPH.

 

[Hltoppr]

I wire brushed the surface, and used loctite red, along with torque to 105 ft/lbs, per instructions. I'll re-check 'em after about 25 miles.
