It did indeed! of course finding those trailers in my area is difficult and quite expensive -_-

Finally a couple updates! Been watching a lot of "Mighty Car Mods" episodes on YouTube which has thrown me into a car frenzy. Along with working on my truck I have decided to rebuild a 351W for my 1967 Mustang AND convert it to manual and rebuild a 5 speed T5 Transmission. I am pretty excited...

Back out exploring the PNW!

Quick update: I finished my door panel! Still need to make an arm rest and clean up the handle mechanism since it is now visible. Maybe make a new handle, we shall see. I went with a more basic door panel because 1) This is my first time attempting upholstery and 2) i LOVE exposed painted...

I ended up just taking my Daily Driver out then when I got back a few hours later it was a few degrees warmer out and the truck fired right up! Either the gods interfered and just didn't want me to take the truck out, or 4 degrees made all the difference. I'm going to try to fire it up first...

Alright I need some help! I now live in a place that gets snow which i woke up to this morning. It is quite cold. This is new to me. I went out to start my truck and it has electricity and everything should be good to go. But when i turned the key nothing. The starter didn't even click but all...

Love it! Got some big jobs in there! I am very curious how tough swapping from the TTB to the straight axle is. I think for this truck I'll leave it...at least for a while. But it does make doing other things easier thats for sure. 7.3 is a great engine too once that thing is rebuilt it'll be...

@OTH Overland I appreciate it! And that '91 certainly has some potential! Love the potential of a blank slate thats for sure. What engine does yours have? haha yeah the turning radius is far from ideal on mine too. Definitely been in some less than ideal situations trying to do a 20 point turn

Update: Still haven't installed the 450 cfm carb, but I did replace the rear brakes on my Daily Driver so it is back in working order. Now I just need to find a couple hours to swap the carb. 1 Hour to install. 1 Hour for unforeseen problems and probably re-making the accelerator cable mount I...

Short new update. I rebuilt a new 450 cfm carburetor but haven't installed it yet since the truck is currently the only running vehicle I have right now. Hopefully will get that in next week and HOPEFULLY will report back that it is running way better. As it is my only running vehicle I have...

@Dilldog Looking at past posts you were quite knowledgeable on carbs. My carb 600cfm which you said would be too much carb was correct. It is definitely too much haha It was free though so I have been making it work but it runs rich and dogs when i try to get on it. which was expected. However a...

haha I will say you'd be shocked as to the deals you can find! $900 for the truck and $20 to insure. Been running strong ever since I swapped the intake/exhaust gasket and alternator.

Deep in the PNW!

That thing is awesome! If you look on craigslist long enough deals are bound to pop up. i definitely agree though, nothing beats a classic truck with a manual transmission

Finally got around to get the truck out again! I'm fixing up a house and so is my dad so I have been generously lending him the truck. But I finally got the RTT back on and got the truck out. I have been throwing around the idea of building a custom truck bed. Military style with a twist. But...

Fall feels in the PNW with an awesome covered bridge!

Some photos of todays outing

Its a good point haha I will admit I have slightly modified my rules for it. The drivetrain must remain stock. Only fixing things when they break. Outside of that though I am okay with it as long as I am learning something while doing it. Welding the bumper was a good lesson in welding thick...

It's been a while but I finally got back to working on the truck! Wanted a new bumper but nothing on the after market sites had a lower profile bumper that I liked so I went the custom route and built one myself. My requirements were simple: low profile, room for a winch (hopefully coming soon)...

Classic full-size truck, RTT, MTBs, dirt...all the makings of a good weekend
