BACKYARD88 · 10-08-2008, 09:00 PM

Not really, the short step I already had is going fleet, but the long fleet I just got is going short step

bad6772 · 10-08-2008, 10:21 PM

AWWWW HECK, the spray-bomb BUG has hit MIKE......

Spray-Bomb · 10-09-2008, 11:51 AM

Just dont get any grease or gas on it & it wont get any worse

BACKYARD88 · 10-15-2008, 11:03 AM

Okie dokie, made a little progress over the last week or so. I pulled the body and started hacking.

Also put some dumps on the mufflers.

And put the body back on with the new stepper bed

BACKYARD88 · 10-15-2008, 10:16 PM

I'm leaving the 3 spd for now. If you have those rings let me know, I'd be glad to take them off of your hands

**thelonerife** · 10-15-2008, 10:42 PM

I have these two from my 72. i think 67-68 are a little shorter on the sides. I need one of those if anyone has an extra. I can send these or bring em. lmk.

I could use those. I put a universal one on temporary that doesn't fit very well. Are you going to Luv's cookout? If so you could just bring them with you.

BACKYARD88 · 10-17-2008, 02:30 PM

Got the fenders lined up and bolted down night before last. Last night I got the hood, cowl, and 17" wheels on. Put on a new set of header gaskets and made a little altitude adjustment as well. Still needs some more work but it's getting there!

my67chevytruck · 10-17-2008, 04:15 PM

LOOKING good Mike..... so you still in TX or did you move to TN?

BACKYARD88 · 10-17-2008, 05:43 PM

Still in TX. It'll be a couple years before I'm able to make a move somewhere else. We are going to check things out when we go up for Luv's cookout in 2 weeks

**thelonerife** · 10-17-2008, 09:05 PM

yeah I'll bring em.

BACKYARD88 · 10-18-2008, 01:20 AM

Thanks!

MrBeast · 10-19-2008, 02:50 PM

Damn mike, I dont talk to you for a couple of weeks and you grow another truck on me. We need to keep spray bomb away from you. Its like giving a red headed step child fire works. :P

Looks like you have a nice beater on your hands there, it will make a good shop truck. - Nick

**thelonerife** · 10-19-2008, 07:46 PM

your welcome. i'm going to bring some parts to the meet. i'll give you first pick since you helped me out with the bed parts.

BACKYARD88 · 10-19-2008, 10:51 PM

Cool! I like first Pick

PM me with a list if you need anything still and I'll se if I have it to bring up if you'd like.

BACKYARD88 · 10-20-2008, 11:07 AM

Shortened the driveshaft and got it put in. Went for a quick test drive, I have to get some weight on the rear end, this thing is all over the place with just a little tap on the gas.

Then I decided it was time to clean up the tools I used all week and didn't put back.
