"bout an hour, hour and a half. Not too far over the mountain.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

thanks, guys. They are from C. W. Moss. The lenses are glass, too which I think is really cool.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Cool to see another stepper getting bagged.
My friend has one of those taillights on his Pan, although with a slightly less friendly message!
Lookin' forward to seeing more.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

On a side note; longbed67, that motor is sick! You've got me thinking stuff regarding my I6, which I've also kept.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Those taillights are cool!!!!!! nice size garage also. I am glad you are staying with the size, got an idea for you thou, instead of a turbo, how about a M90 supercharger off of a 3.8L pontiac!!!!!!!!!! idea for you.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

There's a company called Larrowe and Sons that makes a manifold for that. I am getting ready to pull my engine, and once I see what kind of shape its in I'll be making some big decisions.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Came home last night to a porch full of boxes! Viair dual 480s, vintage air, Mcgaughy drop spindles, and a tom of odds and ends from Brothers. worked a little on front clip removal, but got side tracked by a buddy needing help with his Dodge diesel. Pics hopefully this weekend.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

It was good to meet you today Matt, I'm gonna keep tabs on your thread!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

You too, Rus! I'll be seeing you again, I'm sure.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Oh yeah buddy!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

OK, I know it's been a while since I've updated, but I haven't been completely dormant. In these pics are (obviously) some of the parts I have accumulated. There are a TON of small parts from Brothers (new mirrors, lenses, a little sheet metal). There is also a complete A/C system!! Some Porterbuilt goodies, and some new wheels, air bags, compressors, DLOE's manual valves. One cool thing is that a lot of my stuff came from the board. I bought all the stuff from Brothers with a discount they give to board members, my suspension stuff I bought from Travis at Pro Performance, some of which was made by Porterbuilt- all on the board! What's even cooler than that is that a loosely formed alliance of members from the Mid TN area (Rusbuilt, thelonerife, JRANGER, Kronos1968, and slash36g) are coming over on Sat to give me a hand!!!:metal::metal: This be the beginning of what I hope will become a long standing tradition of us getting together to attack ALL of our projects, and to just have some fun with a good group of people!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Yeah yeah!!! btw Chuck and I are gonna be there at 7A.M.

Wakey, wakey hands off snaky!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

You just made me spit out milk!! I ain't heard that one in a while. 7 is great, I'll get up and get a fire going in the woodstove, and Heather is gonna make us sausage biscuits. :mm:

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Sweet!! I like sausage biscuits! I'll be on it like a hobo on a hot pocket!!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I kinda wish it was Friday, but if it was i need to be in bed resting for the big day!!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

We're closing in!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

What a day! Had some friends stop by for a day of fun and parts pile shrinking....pics coming soon!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

joe

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Not to far, Joe. Looks like you could come through Manchester or Tullahoma to Shelbyville, and be almost here. Maybe 1-1 1/2 hrs.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Soooo, the Middle Tn group of us that has been getting together decided to come over for a work day. I had a ton of parts

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

A 69 C10 short stepper, a shop with a wood stove (thank God).

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

The day started at around 6:45am when Rus (Rusbuilt) and Chuck (thelonerife) showed up after a 2 hour drive!! That's dedication. Brian (Kronos1968) arrived shortly after 7.

Our day began with sausage& biscuits made by my bride

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

We began by cutting the last two bolts that held the bed, and removing it.
