LSSV: 2005 Chevy Crew Cab, Fl to VA and back.

[FMJ]

Found another New set of manuals for $212.00 shipped. Got the missing fuel filler part from a junkyard and got the New driver's window regulator in the mail today.

What the heck do you need manuals for. . . .
Just post up all your questions here on the site, just make sure they are run on sentences with a thread titled HELP.

Nice truck! my 1028A3 is still sitting in the storage shed without a motor. . . .

My thinking is if I can make it look like new and sell some of my other big items, the wife should be good with it. opcorn: or maybe not.

When you say "sell some other big items" are you referring to big items she knows you have or the other stash she's not aware of? LOL

I am appalled at some of the comments about wives being kept in the dark... I would never do anything like that.

Just in case she ever decides to check this site....

[scottjhl]

does this mean you are gonna get it perma registered

that thing looks awesome! Would love to know where it was.

 

[Expendable]

Wow, Looks like a great truck to use.

I shudder a bit at the amount of rust though.

 

[Warthog]

Where you able to use the tank straps and bolts?

Not yet, Truck is stored 2 hours north of me in a barn with some of my other toys. Working on stuff at the house now.

Updates? It is a new year and no stinkin updates.

Not yet, but soon. My Military duty and my son's gun shows are keeping me busy right now.

I will have to off load the LSSV from the gooseneck trailer next week, so I can get it ready to recover the Gator at Bragg when the EUC clears.

 

[Recovry4x4]

That's funny. EUC on a golf cartish vehicle!

Moved the LSSV out of storage today. Brought it south to my work place in West Palm Beach. It's now 60 miles closer, but still 40 miles from house.

I plan on downloading it off the trailer and making sure the trailer is good to go.

looks like I will need a new driveshaft made up.....GL forklift damage.

 

[Stonepicker1]

Worked a few hours today installing to fuel tank and filler neck.

 

[Stonepicker1]

Fuel tank is installed. Need to find some screws to mount the skid plate under the fuel tank.

Picture of GL's forklift work on the driveshaft.

 

[Warthog]

Add another $400 to the tab.

I can hammer that out in no time flat! LOL

 

[ChevyC60]

Got my GL modified replacement drive shaft off Creiglist for $125 in Jacksonville FL. I believe this is the same place Kenny got his dually rear end. This guy has a lot of heavy duty Chevy parts.

Got dark on me quick, After installing the tank. I trailered the truck over to the gas station and put $50 of diesel into the tank.
i'm missing the drain plug on the front diff and radiator, so got all the chains and binders off, started the truck and backed it off the trailer.

Took it around the parking lot just to see how it moved and parked real quick so not to over heat the engine.

Going to clean the inside up later this week.

 

[Warthog]

At least it moves.
