  1. Me and a friend took the Chevy 350 out of is snow plow truck and put in a 5.9L Cummins, Dana 70 rear end and a Dana 61 front, took the leaf springs off a wrecked 85 cummins and put them on. All that is left to do is mount the fuel tank, run brake lines, put in the drive shaft, and finish the exhaust. He got an 8.6" black chrome stack cut at a 45, bottom is 5" and flares out.

    This is his other Cummins, he does this all summer, did over 80 loads a week.

    The only spot on the truck that is actually rusted threw, the front pannel of the bed. So, easy sheet metal fix.

    Under side of the head lights, both were the same so only pic of right side. Some rust but not bad.

  3. Manny rizzy your smart going with the Cummins ill tell ya that I would buy that truck and then spend some time on it.

    Cummins is the way to go, one of my friends uncle owns a scrap metal recycling place, when ever a vehicle comes in he calls us to see if we want anything from it. He had a '94 cummins come it that was wrecked, frame twisted and everything so we went there pulled the engine, tranny, front and rear axles, and some other stuff out of it gave him $450 for all of it. Engine has only 116,000 miles on it, so basically just getting broke in.

    We plow in the winter and have 3 chevy trucks we use, '84 and 2-'86s. the 84 and one of the 86s we put cummins engines in them. We have 2 more cummins engines and a duramax engine setting in the barn, with tranny and everything. I'll post up some pics tomorrow.

  4. Being an owner of a few 40's vehicles I can tell you that is too much for that truck in its current condition...although the body looks all intact, there seems to be alot of rot and thats what'll cost you the money to fix. Most of the parts for these cars/trucks are still available at most swap meets (atleast here in Cali they are) I just spent 6 hours on Saturday and found the grill guard and fog lit I had been looking for....

    If your just looking for something to put a ratrod motor in and run it, I would suggest something in better shape....I've spent years/days/hours looking for parts and even when you think you have it all, there's one more accesory that you'll see somewhere and have to have it...With old cars its a never ending thing.

    A few hours of walking at a swap meet > Ebay's high prices...... :8)

    What do you think would be a reasonable price for it? I talked to a guy that goes to car auctions and he said he has seen them in worse condition go for $2-5k. I have two friends who are really good at body work and paint, so i will be saving alot of money there, me and my brother can do all of the engine and mechanical work so thats alot of money saved. I'm not planning on all of the work being complete very soon, probobly take a few years to do all of it so i wont be spending a bunch at a time. Do you think it would be worth it after all that, or still too much?

  5. I was out at one of my friends house while she was home alone and after a while we started talking and she told me her dad has an older truck he wants to sell. So i asked to see it because i have been looking for a '40's truck to restore. We went out to the barn and i looked at it some, need alot of work but i want a project that will take a while to finish. I talked to her dad and he told me $2000 for the truck and 2 engines, chevy 216^3" and chevy 235^3". Just wanting some opinions if its a good buy or a waste. I'm just going to sell the engines or scrap them, if i get the truck im going to put a cummins 5.9L engine in it because i have one in our barn with tranny and all, or a 454 i can get pretty cheap.

    Pics of the truck, but dont have any of either engine.

  6. those are nice but my sences are telling me u drove a red marro and u tried to burn out and all the exhaust did was poppp on u lol.. but yeah they should of only made tha ss version personally..

    i wanted to drive the shit out of it, but the driver wouldnt let us. He had some CTS-V's a few weeks ago and let us drive them pretty hard, they have some power, lol. The gauges in the new camaro's are fuckin sweet though.

    the popping was just when reving it in park, but when driving it wasnt like that.

  7. My brother called and woke me up this morning two hours before i get up for work. When he got to work he saw a nice surprise setting next to the building. There are two truck drivers that drive for GM that about every other night park their trucks in the parking lot where my bro works.

    They are the RS with the V6. I only have pics, but he let us take one off the trailer and drive it around. Dont really like the sound of the exhaust though, too high pitched and kind of poppy sounding.

  8. I'm really not sure about it. There is alot of things that could swing either way.

    I think he could of faked his death to get out of all the shit he was involved in (gangs, drugs, whatever), just to save himself.

    Alot of the pictures of his body don't look like they are him, just someone that looks like him. There is alot of people who ake their deaths to get out of shit they are in to save them selves and become part of the witness protection programs. There were songs produced with him in them long after his death but it is nearly imposible to know if it really is him singing or if it is computer generated, with the way technology is people can make anything and make it sound like someone else. If they say he is dead and everything then the people who want him dead will stop trying to find him to kill him and he can still make money off of his old albums selling. My parents are older (62) and when i said stuff to them about 2pac they said there were some artist who were claimed to be dead because they were caught up in some shit and wanted out but after they were said to be dead songs and albums with them still came out, like some stuff with 2pac. I think he could be alive and just wanted out of all the shit he was in, or could be dead because of all the shit he was in.

    2Pacs younger brother and mother had said stuff in interviews like he is still alive, but its too hard to say if it's true.

    Doesn't really matter what the public things or anything because if he is alive the truth would never be told just to keep shit safe for him and some others

    I'm pretty drunk so i'm just typing what i think or i have seen. lol

  9. I do what ever the fuck i can to help friends out, if one of them car/truck breaks down im there to do what ever i can to fix it or i know someone who can or give them money for parts. It doesant matter wtf i do to help them out after words they all do the same shit, talk shit about me or do something that starts shit with someone to fuck me over. Lost my girlfriend because a "friend" of mine told her a bunch of made up shit because he was pissed at me for not backing him up when he got cought for fucking her best friend for the last like 8 months and has 6 or 7 girls on the side. i have lost everyone that has ever been a friend of mine and that i have grown up with becides 2 people and they both go to school in PA and im in MI. I have one friend around here (girl) that has been a good friend for the last like 5 years and came 3 hours just to hang out with me tonight, we have always had something on and off but it never got serious. Well tonight we go to a party for one of my older friend 30th bday party, he is pretty much an older brother im so close to him and his family is like my second family. I dont even call his mom and dad by name, jsut call them mom and dad they are so close to me. well we got pretty fucked up and i let her dance with him, well he went to dip her and tripped, knocked her out and fucked her up. My older brother (he's 22) is an EMT and first responder certified, helped her and checked her out she ended up having to go to the ER because she kept passing out. she is 20 and im 19 so i couldnt go with her b/c we were drinking. i am completely pissed off and feel like shit because i talked her into coming down to hang out with me tonight, i feel like fucking shit about it and its one more person that for some fucked up reason will be out of my life. I just hate this shit and for some reason everything bad that can happen keeps happening to me. Just fucking sucks!
