I realize this is a discussion board
but it seems every time someone ask about doing something on a budget, guys make suggestions that are WAY out of the budget
easy to spend someone else's money
I love my job
local guy bought this 2003 Dodge Ram 1 ton 4x4 for the 5.9 Cummins/6 speed to do a diesel swap in a square body
he already sold the front clip, doors & tires/wheels and I bought the rest for a sum of $$$ that I'm embarrassed to even say - interior is complete & near mint
truck...
pics don't do this thing justice...it's much greener in real life
I should have taken some before pics...this thing was rough
disassembled, rivets drilled, media blasted, powder coated (Eastwood Hot Coat semi gloss black & lime green) & re-riveted, new axles & axle nuts...still waiting for the...
maybe it's just where I live
but EVERYONE here has a pickup truck
my car hauler trailer is the most convenient for hauling cars...it gets borrowed all the time
if I need a small trailer with sides for landscaping I'll borrow that buddy's trailer...or another buddy has a dump trailer
we just...
this was in the trunk of an 81 Camaro
faceplate only say A/C or defrost...and the fan switch has an extra little switch thing
the fan switch knob is different, but it was attached to the controls
I looked for a while but I'm at a loss as to the correct year for this thing
in my 3rd gen 88 Firebird Formula
currently has a one wheel peel 2.73 10 bolt
a bunch of local guys have 3.42 posi 10 bolts out of T56 6 speed 4th gens ready to bolt in for less than $300
my 18" rear tires are getting old & hard...one will often spin not even laying into the gas much
4th gen...
my 79 Z28 came with the original 15" steel wheels - my favorite wheels for a 2nd gen by far
anyway the lug holes are mushroomed up a bit - how much is too much?
2003 F250
66,000 original miles
5.4 automatic 4x4
this thing was a plow truck it's entire life
frame is GONE - power steering box is barely hanging onto the frame - front frame horns were already welded once & the front spring hangars are now missing the rivets..they're just sitting there...
this thing cuts like crazy! and FAST!
made in USA DeWALT XR 20V
I picked up a 5 ah battery & it runs forever
and I really like DIABLO Steel Demon blades...made in Switzerland
I only use this 20V outside (often) most stuff still gets cut up with a $20 corded HF el cheapo saw
my buddy DROVE this to my house...runs/drives perfect...body is GONE
frame is nice, which is a shame...2.2 4 cyl, 5 speed manual
local junkyards offered him the same as what I gave him...$200
super nice day in Erie so I was driving my 88 FB Formula all over the place
it's unusual but everywhere I went I was hearing "nice Firebird"
3rd gen F bodies are getting popular it seems
paint will happen (or maybe a wrap or dip) before cruising season really begins
local collector died & his daughter sold me his collection of insulators
stupid cheap
I've seen these at flea markets/yard sales and it seems there is a HUGE collector market
I've been researching a ton these past few days..these pics are not nearly all of them
my brother lived in Denver Colorado for the past bunch of years but recently moved to Chicago
this 97 Ranger was his fly fishing truck...driving up to the mountain streams
he had no use for it in Chicago so he asked if I wanted it...hell yes, so I had it shipped from Chicago to Erie (door to...
I like guns, I have a few ;)
but I do NOT have a 50 BMG, and I feel like I should
SERBU RN-50 these are about $1200 plus a bipod & buttstock
ammo is scarce other than the $5/round Hornady 750 gr A Max....but I don't mind
I acquired this....hopefully it'll sell, as these are out of my league
if the whole case doesn't sell I'll Ebay every last one of them
