After a successful day like that, you can't help but relax at the end of the day with a few cold ones while starring at your truck. Yep, we all do it. :cookoo: It's a beautiful thing. :beer:

Rule of thumb is about 1hp for every 25 amps being generated. Not that much.

I see you live in SC. After replacing the brake system and rebuilding everything, you might wish to spend a few more bucks and go with silicone brake fluid. Regular glycol based is hydroscopic and absorbs moisture from the air, which can rust the internals of a brake system over time since these...

Dave you are spot on. Big difference between restoration and preservation. Your labor will insure she is in prime condition for another sprucing up 50 years from now.

M1010Plowboy is hoping to fly into Phoenix, get a rental and pick me up for a Marimar trip. His plans may or may not go through. We were hoping to go camping, I can provide most of the gear. Dave has got me all riled up over getting out of this humdrum down for a few days, so much for keeping...

ANOTHER WARNING FOR YOU GUY'S. PULL YOUR PANS TOO!! Being the clean freak I am, I thought i'd drop the crank to keep things clean during the cylinder deglazing and washing thereafter. In pulling the main caps I noticed 1 main cap bolt was only torqued to half it's specified rating. This caused...

Split tailgate, awesome idea. The tailgate is not designed as a loading ramp anyway. That being said, I think if you wanted even more structural rigidity for certain jobs you could weld a couple sleeves in the middle of the tailgate to slide pins through to make it "one" tailgate again. Maybe...

Once again I am blessed with the need to be as thorough as possible. I was working to pull the crankshaft tonight so during cylinder deglazing/cleaning I could keep the crank as clean as possible. Found some super light scratches on the crankshaft surface but a hand polish with 800grit should...

We had a tandem cherry picker back into the backyard several years ago to chop down a poplar my grandfather never thought would see more than 30ft, it ended up growing to nearly 70ft and became a real hazard with all our winds. The picker left nice tracks about about 6" deep in the yard...

BRAVO MAN. AWESOME VIDEO. MADE MY WHOLE TOMORROW. Had the skullcandy headphones cranked up to full power. Wish I could press the thanks button more than once.....

Frost? It was 109 here a few days ago!

COOL. Be very careful with the air pump rings. They are fragile and break easily. If the fit hits the shan, you can get custom ones made for a few bucks. http://www.ringspacers.com/rangcast.htm

I changed from the factory setup of the stop lights mounted down low on the frame. No wonder they are so hard to see. Forget a haboob. Nice way to get a honda up your cassocks. I put both stop lights under the cargo bed, nice and high and easy to see. The bed has 4 more provisions for lights...

......So shiny man. Voltage.....I have aqcuired 2 alternators, 12v and 24 for separate charging systems. Best of both worlds. Turn signals. I am going M35A3 style, fender mount with M35A3 brackets. I thought they'd look COOL on a GMC and give it a unique look. Stop Lights. I like the old...

I threw up a little. :|

I do like the spring idea, I am already subscribed so will be watching for anything you guys can come up with.

I was wondering the same thing,

Power tailgates? Remember, KISS. For those without arthritis and shoulder operations, do some push up's instead. The tailgate isn't that heavy.

Take your time man, it will come out better. :beer:
