Maybe what do they look like? I have some mounts

Thanks! They were modified in that they don’t have side marker lights, but the wheel opening was not modified at all. I moved the axle forward 1.5” on the spring to clear the fender because that’s where the tire always hits while stuffed in a turn.

well its been a while since i've posted on here. Unfortunately, I think the time has come to move on to another project. This truck is awesome but I'm going to let her go. Take a look in the classifieds if interested. Thanks.

Everything went great!

Driving her to work tomorrow. 24 miles on highway and surface streets. She’ll be fine.

Getting there…

Rear window 5% tint and installed, seat hinges and sliders painted and seat installed. Also got the windshield installed but I’m lacking the tool for the trim ring installation. I think this is one of those tools that you really need for install so I’ll stop by the auto parts store even though...

Got the hood installed. It’s not the original hood but it’s going to work. It also has the cowl seal and under hood insulation, which is nice. Also got the pintle installed. The rear bumper had been previously modified to incorporate a fairlead for a rear winch, but I don’t think I’m going to go...

Sitting good. Glad I put that add a leaf in. Pic is on the bed rail.

Almost looking like a real truck.

Yeah wow you were looking closely! That is actually the slave receptacle ground so it attaches directly to the negative bus. I just attached it temporarily for another ground point. The block is grounded through the 2 gauge wire directly to the negative bus pictured below. Your passenger rear...

Took her on her maiden voyage today. No funny noises or anything. Shifted through all 3 gears. Needs steering correction from the lift. Oh yeah and another door, hood, glass, seals, paint, body work, and about 100 other things. But she did good all in all. Drove her a few miles back and forth...

She moved under her own power today out into the driveway. I’ve had her up to temperature twice now and everything seems to be good (other than the weepy radiator). I forgot how noisy these engines are; they sound like they are coming apart. She hums right on up and down, though. Did have a...

Of course, I guess I take that for granted considering his motor sports park is only an hour from the house! But yes, he was talking about the Grave Digger pilot Dennis Anderson!

Front driveshaft is only actually 3 inches longer, just looks like more from where they cut it. Spring Menders in Norfolk, VA. 168 bucks. I was asking the guy about what tubing they used and the wall thickness and he said “don’t worry, if Dennis Anderson can’t break our driveshafts you’ll be...

Max temperature after running under her own power for a total of 35 seconds and a 29 minute heat soak before I heat gunned: valve cover: 74 F, cylinder head at exhaust manifold: 85 F, oil pan: 57 F. Ambient air temperature: 57 F. Starter did all the work: 89 F and solenoid: 87 F.

After priming the fuel system up to the IP: four ten second cranking cycles with all injector fittings loose. My particular order of priming was injector 3 then 5 and 7, then 2, then 1,6,8, and 4; closed them off as they had visible fuel. Once all had visible fuel at fittings, installed glow...

SHE RUNS!

I would think they would have something. Why else would I turn over a piece of gear to someone that I could test myself with a multi meter. A 18 gauge wire shows <1 ohm until I run 50 amps through it, which I believe is what my problem is. It needs to be tested under a load, or why test it at...

Picking up my extended front front driveshaft and “fixed” starter tomorrow. I asked him if they load tested the starter and he said “ uhhhhh, yeah it works better now.” So I’m super optimistic about the results…
