Check out this box he made for his bed. Totally neato! (He may have said this in here ... and if so, I apologize. Just in case anyone missed it. But I also get the feeling George won't mind if we bring it up again.) Peg

I took it on the freeway last weekend. What a nice ride, at 60 it's as smooth as can be. That old 235 just purrs right along. The 3.55 gears in the rear end make a big difference.  I just have to remember that this truck dosen't stop like a modern one, so defensive driving is a must. I'll be out there again, this thing is tooo much fun.

I sent you an email,but had to cut it short so I could mop up the drool on my keyboard. That's an AWESOME truck you built!

Congradulations on finishing your super nice truck. It looks GREAT! Have fun driving it and enjoying your hard work. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 | Thanks everyone. You might want to take another peek at the gallery. Peg was kind enough to add a copule of pictures of what I did with the engine. I had a couple of requests for engine pictures so now they are there so everyone can see them.
Thanks Peg

It was great to hear you finally got on the freeway and turned out to be a nice ride. The important thing is you had a lot of fun and I'm sure the heads turned and the thumbs were up!
Question? What transmission do you have and what size tires ?
Thanks,
Warner | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 | Warner: I'm running the stock 3spd trans with a 3.55 rear end. I've got orig. 16" wheels but I don't know off the top of my head the size tire, something like 175 85 16 not sure. They are tall and skinny radials. They look about like originals but drive much better than bias ply tires.
