Just a cool ride!
I like the PU bed much better.
Keep us posted on the progress.

Scored me a Kelderman single bag setup today. Traded a turbo I put together and I had to install it. I'm gonna have to tear it all apart and put new bushings in it and I'll probly sandblast it an give it a couple squirts of paint.[guitar]

I also forgot to mention I figure out how to wire the exhaust brake too. I just got to get a few switches and pull the brake valve out and get it freed up.

Well I was at U pull it today looking for a few things for my old 60 K 10 and decided to do a once over on the Dodge area. (I had just been there yesterday snagging some trim for the 93 and a couple other things) anywho I got to looking at a Durango that was in there and I noticed it had a factory CD/Tape deck, Hmmm I thought that just might have to go with me. So it got pulled, I am always a little leary about buying electronics from junk yards. I got home and installed it and it works perfect.:wings: Now I'll be listening to tunes in late 90's style:coffeedrink: I think they only charged me 15$ too. Total bill there was 29 and change and that was for a good set of hood hinges for my 60 an the radio.

BTW any radio from I think 88-02 is plug and play, just a little FYI for you guys

 

[Rot Box]

Great info on the radio. I would have never guessed, now I wish I would have known that sooner :coffeedrink:


What is that rectangle thing for that says Dolby on it?



J/K I wish I was that young :hehe:

 

[pulltilbroke]

I believe that is a cassette player. Been a while since I had any cassettes.

Anyone know where to get a decent cassette adapter for an Ipod?? You know the thing that looks like a cassette with a wire coming out of it.

 

[Rot Box]

PM me your address and I'll give you one. I don't know if it works or not... I don't have a cassette player to test it on ;0

 

[pulltilbroke]

I was puttin a battery in it and had some issues with connections, cleaned em thought it was in nuetral. hit the key and bam she lights like a VE pump truck should. It was in first and took off, so I reach in to try to pull it back into nuetral and bam I pulled it into 2nd. And whamo into my buddies trailer.

Needless to say I'm a smidge agitated

Damage = 1 fender, 1 Perfect bumper, Grille, Core support, Radiator, hood. On the bright side the rad is probably repairable, the grille inserts and headlight bezel is still good, and I might be able to save the bumper if I'm careful.

That sucks! Now I guess you'll have to pull that 12v and drop it off at my house before you take the body to the wreckers. Sad to total a truck that way...:sombrero:

 

[TheAlmightySam]

Dibs on the clock spring!

Just kidding. Sucks to bang it up that way, but at least there was a trailer in the way to keep it from running too far on ya. Hope you can get it all put back into shape without too much trouble!

 

[pulltilbroke]

Well I got this truck cheap so we can afford to put a few dollars into it.


Found everything I need to get it back better than it was for about 500$ That includes clip with inner fenders, Hood Grille, and I found a bumper somwhere else that I'm still working on. Even after fixing the crash damage, I'll only have about 2200 or so into it.

 

[redthies]

So I should keep looking for an engine???

 

[pulltilbroke]

Yeah, probably be a good idea.

 

[pulltilbroke]

Crashparts have been aquired

 

[redthies]

It will be better in the end... You like having multi colored trucks anyways!:sombrero: Jokes aside, hope the repairs come out well. I'm sure you'll make it look like (almost) new!

 

[pulltilbroke]

Yeah this truck will be gettin paint hopefully within the year. The 90 on the other hand probly wont sere paint. I dig the multi color on it.

All the parts I picked up are super clean. The fenders got a couple dings but are real nice rustwise.
