After using the "unsubscribe from thread" tool, it would be nice if it took you to your subscribed thread list instead of back to the thread you just unsubscribed from. I think like me, many users probably get on a "unsubscribe cleanup" once every week or two and it would speed up this process...

Mine likes no more than about 45 and that's where I'm comfortable, too. Had her over 50 on the interstate once and those NDT's are pretty squirrely at that speed.

Unfortunately no one got pics of the operation to get a rear axle, with wheels and tires, into the bed-on-top-of-the-bed on Gimpy's deuce.

To my amazement we actually got done today! :jumpin: Thanks everyone for a great time. Gimp is picking up something for Clinto locally then northbound on I-71. I'm going to get something to eat!

...and a great wrenching party was had by all... (ongoing)

We are in Louisville. I'm stopping by home then meeting Gimp at the parts truck. He had that turbo on in the time it took me to eat a burrito!

He's in Carrollton. 44 is right.

Gimp is changing the turbo now. I was standing by to help but it's kind of a one-man job, space wise, so I ran for a bite of lunch. Couple pics of his fried-turbo smokescreen attached. p.s. it is a C turbo going on. :jumpin:

I've got the take-off turbo and heading northbound. I can't read this thread while driving. Gimp has my cell phone #. I'll PM it to doghead too just in case Gimp's phone dies.

I just passed milemarkert 10

I did not get them from NAPA, I got them from White Owl and I don't recall a part #. But G had listed it in another thread...I'll find it here...

Not you, gimp I sent it to wascomatw74. But I guess you need to know the address too, eh? Incoming!

PM sent!

Dave come on down, it sounds like we'll be working on the truck from late morning on Saturday until whenever done probably Sunday!

I think we are probably looking at a Saturday and Sunday timetable, but hard to be sure.

I'm thinking mostly no; if I have everything apart for the scrape and primer, then I think a "motorpool" application of the Rapco top coat should be good.

Yep, electricity is readily available. You are also welcome to the remaining contents of the fuel tank (maybe 3-5 gallons left?)

Re the bed bolts, it really doesn't matter to me. I will have a small angle grinder with a cutting wheel here. I don't have a torch. I will also bring hand tools and breaker bars, chains, jacks, etc. Hey I don't mind the KY bound jokes but let's leave the KY jelly out of it. I tried that stuff...

Bumping a very useful thread, and adding a pic: this is what $80 worth of 11" bolts looks like. Really after installing I think 10" would have worked, but no harm.
