jce4isu · 02-15-2011, 12:04 AM

any luck finding a motor??

bobbo · 02-16-2011, 11:36 PM

I have actually just today scored a mid-90's 454 TBI with trans...30k on the motor...complete with wiring and ECU. $800.

Everything goes right, I will have it this weekend. Pics to follow.

72BlckButy · 02-16-2011, 11:58 PM

Nice score bobbo!

Sammy · 02-17-2011, 02:35 PM

Not sure if MO DOT is prepared for BOBBO's take-off's and landings. He should keep the local tire shops busy for a few months..

Looking good.

firedog · 02-17-2011, 09:09 PM

Here I thought he was going to be competition for the slowest truck award....

I would say I am going to take it easy on it with all the time going into redoing it, but you all know better than that!

It's really all about knowing people that know people that know....you get the idea. Brad actually found this deal for me from someone that came into his work who is selling it for a friend.

Can't wait!!!!

sjarrett71 · 02-17-2011, 10:49 PM

Heck, I'm just trying to scrape enough money together to have my used flowmasters attached to my existing pipes and ran out the back. And here you are buying engines and stuff! I'll never keep up! The only solice I have is knowing I can get in and drive mine (after I air up the 2 front tires of course!)

LOL. I was content in doing the exact same thing the last two years, things are just working out right now so i can get this all going, and the help of great friends makes a world of difference! I would not even be this far without them! Really wish i could drive it with the nice weather we have been having!

sjarrett71 · 02-17-2011, 11:06 PM

Great friends are where it's at!!

Sammy · 02-18-2011, 08:44 AM

Looking forward to seeing engine pics.

Here is a teaser shot of Firedog's new powerplant after a rod began making some demands for attention. Lovely Mo. weather for tinkering with our trucks!

Hang in there Scott.

kyull67 · 02-22-2011, 12:50 AM

Have you finished grinding my welds yet?

bobbo · 02-22-2011, 08:12 AM

Working on it. Found a small spot of bondo on the passenger cab corner, the dent is not bad at all and should be easily fixable.

bobbo · 02-22-2011, 08:14 AM

No motor yet...still waiting on Uncle Sam which I may not be getting the money due to some back state taxes owed from when I was with the ex...

kyull67 · 03-02-2011, 09:03 PM

whats been going on?

bobbo · 03-06-2011, 09:27 AM

Haven't done much the last couple weeks. Took on a second job in the evenings helping a friends' dad who rebuilds industrial machinery. Going to get some more work done today. Didn't get the engine due to the federal taxes being applied to owed state taxes, which I figured would happen. The second job will be funding the truck.

Will post up pics of some progress later today.

bobbo · 03-16-2011, 11:38 PM

Some more work tonight. Kyle came by and did some welding. Need to get new door hinge pins before the rocker can be fitted. Pins are hammered. Did some grinding and cleaning. Also a couple pics of the new cluster bezel and cleaned cluster...need a new circuit board...Enjoy...

bobbo · 03-16-2011, 11:41 PM

bobbo · 03-21-2011, 06:16 PM

Kyle came by yesterday and we fitted the new driver rocker, welded up some trim holes...progress.

bobbo · 03-21-2011, 06:18 PM

And a pic of the wheels I really want to get...Ion 138's. 15x10 on the rear and 15x8 for the front...my new manager at work is very good friends with the owner of Ion wheels so i may be able to get a really good deal on them...
