Anyways I was home for thanksgiving, which yes I know was awhile ago, but since I was there I figured I would slap some paint on the old truck. Its always been in a sort of rough primer/body work phase and the engine bay is still the original blue and I just wnated the whole thing blue! Went down to lowes and got some rattle can thats close-ish. Its not amazing in quality of work but it is amazing to finally see it blue! So check out the signature and you can see it there.
I'm still going to put a diesel in it, originally I was set on a 6bt and a np205. But I'd like to keep it as Chevy as possible so maybe this will get a power plant from a Kodiak or topkick. And that means cat! And I've always liked cat stuff, they're real grunts. But if I do go that route it definitely throws the np205 out.
Still lots to decide on, lots of fun ideas, and even more time to get it done.
Hopefully next time that I am there I can finally put 22.5s on it and finally make it a dually again. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 96 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 96 | Definitely looking forward to the diesel swap, I've been thinking about doing that at some point. Its impressive what a can of paint can do!

Supposed to be getting stationed in Hawaii at some point. So I think I'm looking at 2018 ish. Who knows, typical navy.
I have most of it figured out, I think. Just need to actually start doing it. Too many variables to really have a set plan. It's going to be very flexible just because I'd like to be able to get as much from a junk yard as I can. I'll be at the mercy of what's available wherever I end up doing this at. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,070 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,070 | So sorry to hear you are going to Hawaii ...

I've been gone too long, what's this tour? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,070 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,070 | Okay, we have Jimmy's story in the Gallery (see his signature line). He's working on getting some older pictures into his photo album.
Good story.
