Lieny's will do jut fine Eric. Yoiu know my wife is from Superior. Good beer but i'll drink about anything. Icehouse is good [emoticon]

. i'll shoot you a pic after the weekend.

Sweet autos guys. nice rig Eyeteeth! I wish I had some pics of my fords. I'll get some. We could do a little dragging eric. My 68 F100 will stand up...to about 80mph..hehe. Kindof geared for pulling and hauling. I stroked a 360 to a 390 with an RV cam. 2.09 intake, 1.76 exhaust, perfomer intake and 600cfm. Tri-ys. bored 30 over with stiff springs, cj rods, and forged pistons. It's got a beefed up c6 to transfer the power. Makes my wife squeel. Funny thing is it still looks like it belongs on the farm. Gosh darn, those guys in new Siverados hate getting blistered by an old farm truck! Guess it takes more than stickers and pipes to get the job done! I also have a 74 bronco with a 351W, NP435 that me and the wife like to go rock crawling in. i spun the timing chain so it's in the garage. i also have a rusted out 67 fastback but that project is a ways from any kind of completion. I will get some pics up.

Man Big J. That is one nice RR! Have you been to YearOne in Atlanta? I thought I remembered that ride down there?

Eric, Is it too much to ask for a little paint on the pulleys and PS pump? Nice motor. You sold the Fury?

Whitenight AKA Mark, How about a pic of the Bride of Frankenstien. Sounds Awsome! I had a rich buddy in highschool you took his parents new caddy biritz 4 wheeling in the mountains to a kegger while blasting AC/DC. Never forget that. some kindof suspension in that sucker!

Need to get the rigs right, tow the toys to a good spot, and drink some beer!

Man, John - that is sweet inside! Is that 2 fridges, fridge + icebox or fridge + ??

Makes me want to get the dang laminate installed in mine already, but we've got a little more work first. I want to paint the cabinets, too - our drawer and door fronts are plastic (yes, plastic!). We've got some water-damaged paneling to replace, too, now that we've fixed the leaks. Oh, and replace the 1-door 5 cu. ft. fridge with a 2-door, 8 cu. ft. fridge. And replace the peeling/bending etc. ceiling stuff with plywood that looks like beadboard, painted with Kilz. And then another scrub/sand on the exterior and blow some paint on her. Media blast the wheels and paint them with chrome paint.....

Hmmm...I don't think that's everything, though.... [emoticon]

I'm with you on the the laminate. The previous owner of our rig put in nice white berber. I have three kids and two labs. Ha! We where up in the Blue ridge Mountains this weekend and it rained much of the time we were there. Carper took a beating.

The counters look great Big John! Did you do them? The stain glass is a nice touch as well.

The counter top laminate appears to be original and is in good shape. If you're talking about the laminate flooring, the PO did all that. It still needs to be trimed out though. The refrigerator is just one unit with the freezer inside.

Ken, I've never been to Atlanta with the RR.

Yea... I'm trying to come up with something worthwhile to post to "knock" it over... but I got nuttin'.

Hey all. I DO have a request (maybe this will push it over the top?)...

I need a picture of your under-hood, battery area. My B300 rig has a "Jerry-rigged" battery tray, no coolant over-flow, and no washer jug. A friend of mine scavanged a JY and got me some parts, but they don't seem to be even close to fitting. I am assuming it's a model year or 1/2 ton vs. 1 ton kind of deal?

If someone could snap some pictures for me, I'd appreciate it! Getting close to having everything sorted out!

Eric

EDIT: Sorry, it's a 1973 model...

She ain't purdy, but at least she's slow!

Well, I've got a '73, but it's an A.....but the photo's already online, so here you go:

As you can see, I've got no washer jug in that pic either - the bag at the far right is the washer jug...we took that and the vacuum tubing out and installed a 2-pump jug from something else instead [emoticon]

Posted By: 79powerwagon on 08/02/07 05:54am

Ah yes, the famous block of 2x4! [emoticon]

I'm trying to find out how all this stuff is supposed to fit. You've got lots of room in there, I'm kinda cramped. I dodn't even think my battery is installed in the correct orientation. Of course, the battery is held in with a bungee cord. [emoticon]

And the washer bag in yours? That was common practice on mopars for years! Take good care of it because they cost big bucks today!

And uh.... got that flooring in yet? [emoticon]

Just kidding around!
