Like the rest of the brethren Iam looking forward to tales of the epic journey!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

ok thanks i will give it a shot

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Thanks Mike for stopping by yesterday. Great visit and congrats on the weight loss. It seems too much hard work can actually be good for a person!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Awesome Visiting with other members...:metal:

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

I'm ready to hear some Road Trip stories, I'm out of my black hole ;)

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Darn, thought Murph was back.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Hmmmm funny you mentioned the weight loss.... dropped 40 pounds in 3 months. Hard work and no one to catch me up on missed meals (from working too hard and too long during the days all alone) will do that.

Yes, I enjoy it immensely. Try to catch up with people every chance I get.

Dude !!!
I had about given up on you, though I do realize how easy it is to fall out of the posting updates habit. I have got to catch up on your build now that you are back...??

Not really, sorry buddy.
Life should be calming down quite a bit after today, wife is getting her ACL repaired today from her Valentines Day ski trip mishap last Feb.
Here in a couple of hours my list of responsiblities will be limited to taking care of her until she is up on her feet again.

Lots has happened since we left Alaska, I still look forward to sharing it all with you, but it will not be here. That story belongs to the Tow Truck, and so it will be written there.

Sure do miss you guys, miss working on my truck, but I DO NOT miss Alaska
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

As always thanks for checking in on me, you guys are the greatest !!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

welcome south bro... glad you're settling in and i'm looking forward to many stories of future adventures.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Glad to hear from you. Hate to hear that your wife had a problem with her ACL but she should be in good hands. Will be great when you can get back to both trucks.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Welcome back!!!:metal:

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Murph!
I cannot wait until you get us caught-up on your experiences!
Good to hear from you!!!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Glad you're well, and still with us. Good luck to the Mrs.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

It's good to hear from you McMurphy :)

I hope all went well with the Mrs' surgery. That must explain the Tacoma location. I look forward to more posts.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Good to see you made it to a McDonalds Michael ;-))

Trust the settling down is going well.

Look forward to you getting on stream fully.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

I just spent the last 3 hours reading through this entire build thread and I am flabbergasted. It was like I went through the journey with you and was right along side with you. You are one cool dude and I hope your finished work allows you to thoroughly enjoy your truck from here on out!

Mike

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Oh you poor fellow, 3 hours..... I would ask what ever was it that possesed you to sit and read this silliness for so long...
But then I remember a couple of builds here that I too poured myself into reading, Alans Vitamin C-10 build was by far the most epic !!

I am glad you liked it, how did you happen across it if I may ask?

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

I just went to the build thread and started reading. Which led me to marks, which led me to alans lol haha

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

.
.that is exactly how i got here just finshed all 72 pages
good stuff
now onto Vitamin C-10 then onto Markeb10 and 198Plus

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

I just thought I'd let everyone know that McMurphy is alive and well. We hung out at the local car show today for a couple hours and then he came by the shop so we could tighten his alternator belt for his trip home.

He still doesn't have internet service at their property, so it's no tellin when he'll be back on the forum.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Good to hear.

I cannot imagine lack of Internet slowing him down on builds and art.

It may even be a good thing not getting distracted.

Send him my regards when you connect again.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

X2!!! :mm:

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Hey guys !!
Nothing new on the Apache Custom SS I am sorry to say.
Still needs front glass, exhaust, and alignment up front.... right now it is standing in the tall grass working on its patina.

Heeheheheh

Only thing I have done with it since arrival is show it off to friends and family, keep starting it once every couple weeks, and moving it from spot to spot as we work on the property.

soon my pretty, soon.....

Hey CapFab, was incredible hanging out with you again at Car d'Alene and thanks again for the assist with the fan belt.
The squeal is a vacuum leak in the fuel line....a couple squirts of starter fluid confirmed this incredible oddity.
I guess when Edlebrock wrote their carbs were designed to work with stock fuel pumps, they were NOT talking about straight 6 engines......

Am visiting the wife in Tacoma right now on the other side of the state.... will post some pics of property in the next couple days I am here.

with internet....

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Good to hear from you Murph!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

X2!!! :metal:

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

'bout time. Waited for who knows how long, bought half dozen trucks or so to keep myself occupied, Stopped working on Steiner only to start again and then you show up.

Glad to see your back!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

WELCOME BACK MURPH and i never use capital letters.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

I agree!

Patiently waiting....

I like the third photo Michael.

Looks pretty mean there.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

It looks like it is stalking it's prey!
WELCOME BACK!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Gotta agree with Rian about the 3rd pic...:metal:

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Long time no see! What do you need yet to make it a driver?

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Thanks Rian I figured it was time to take some new pics of it...

Thanks, not really gone, but not really back either. Visiting the wife and enjoying some technology for a weekend...

Any "like" falls in the win column !!

Exhaust is A#1 on the list....windshield....tires....and a front end alignment should just about do it.
Think I have mentioned before that is still only has 2 miles on the odo.... meh

Dude I been "home" almost a year now, trying to catch up to you is like waiting up to catch Santa Claus !!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

By the way....
The squeal was a vacuum leak, had to tighten my intake manifold down. Where I thought it was the fuel line, was right above the intake so when I did the starter fluid trick, any that got past the fuel line would cause the engine to rev.
All fixed now and running like a champ (and quietly) again !!! Thanks again Capt. It is good to have friends.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

It was great to meet you at Clems. It was very cool to talk with everyone there about the same stuff we all have a passion for. Maybe next year we can drive our trucks.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Glad to see you're alive. Hope all is well in your new place.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Great meeting at Clem's :metal:

Keep up the killer art work:uhmk:

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

How rad to see you and Bomp in AR, scoping out the trucks and putting faces to the names! We've got to get together neighbor.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

it was great meeting you at Clems. i just read through your thread and keep up the good work. maybe we'll meet again someday.
:metal:

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Just wanted to pop in and say Hi.
The truck patiently waits.....only 2.5 miles on that spanking new Odometer still :lol: .......no, really its :waah:

Just have to share this with you all.
Some Garage Rock from a personal friend of mine, I hope you enjoy it.
The band has 3 albums out if you like their sound.
