Yeah, when I am not driving it :lol: It's kinda funny that she can allways find money when this truck needs parts.

She said I went over budget on my 74, I told her I didn't. She said I had 2K to spend on it, I spent 2K on a rear end,2K on rims and tires,2K on body work,2K on paint,2K on interior, 2K on the bottom end, 2K on the top end so I was right at the budget.

I have just been gathering parts up till now. I need to get out there and get it going. All of the electrical is done, dash back to a stock 78 model, stock fuel tank is back. It does not sound like much but all brackets were cut off for the modified version of the truck. I also redid the stock wiring harness and added relays for the fuel pump and rad. fan. I will have free time next week, this week I have a pilots test this week and I never mentioned that the wife is knocked up..............with twins. God help me please :D

I got a vasectomy last year. Best thing I ever did. (and most painful)

Good luck with your kids.

It makes me want to go have it done again just to be sure. :lol:

I dont kinow the back spacing on the rims, but the tires are 265/50/15's. they leave about a 1/4 inch on the inside and a 1/2 inch on the outer lip. The tires are a hair over 10", so you can put a 10" tire on a stock width LUV frame and have them tuck under the fender. Ben ordered the rims, he might remember the back spacing. It might be a sore subject for him, he really liked the rims and hated giving them up.


So Ron, the TV is where I screwed up, if I had known I would have installed 10 in the bedroom. :lol:
