I like those wheels

What are they ?

Litemup · 03-23-2007, 10:05 PM

That's to bad Devin, sorry to hear you could'nt keep goin, I'll have some pics of what I've done to the GMC in a few weeks.

cabinetguy · 03-23-2007, 10:17 PM

Do Not get rid of the project.

You will never convince the wife to do this again after your married. Just Store it.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 03-24-2007, 12:23 AM

ill go up and steal those wheels from you....i mean help convince her to let you get another one later on...

sighlurr · 03-24-2007, 05:46 AM

Guys, my wife (to be) has nothing to do with it. It's about getting into house #2 and paying for the wedding, and still have cash on the side.

**Palf70Step** · 03-24-2007, 07:30 AM

Don't worry about the build. It will be there when time and funds allow. Mine has set since December due to no time & lack of funds. I am hoping I can get back on it in April. If not, I'll blow even more dust off it when the time comes. Good luck with everything else you got going on. It can be crazy with all that at once.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 03-24-2007, 06:58 PM

DOES YOUR WIFE KNOW MINE CAUSE iVE SEEN THAT LOOK BEFORE...

GREASEMONKEY72 · 03-24-2007, 09:18 PM

all kidding aside it is about the major priorities and i think youve got those handled pretty well and youve got a keeper in youre wife to be and you can always get another truck anyway

sighlurr · 03-25-2007, 11:21 PM

Spray-Bomb - Wheels are off a Caprice with the Police package. Got them cheap off of Craigslist to roll the frame, if it ever does again.

Thank you all for your support.

Steven - even though I appreciated you reply, you're still not getting these wheels.

brak · 03-25-2007, 11:45 PM

My truck has sat for the whole 4 years i've owned it. I've literally driven it once. Shortly after purchasing it, the navy transfered me to MN, so i was forced to leave it in CA in my grandparents backyard (gotta love them). I finally towed it to MN last summer, where it has continued to sit in my driveway, although progress is slowly being made now....

That's the way these projects go, don't give up, there's always a solution. you never know, somebody here may even offer to store it for you for a while...

GREASEMONKEY72 · 03-26-2007, 04:12 AM

youre welcome

and i wasnt expecting to get them

ill trade you? ill even get the tires swapped for free...hahaha..jk

sighlurr · 03-26-2007, 08:33 PM

Ok guys, thank you all for your inspiring words. This build just got a little more interesting. Today I picked up a '68 SWB with an inline six.

These pictures are from today's purchase.

Devin

GREASEMONKEY72 · 03-26-2007, 08:41 PM

sighlurr · 03-27-2007, 04:22 PM

GREASEMONKEY72 · 03-27-2007, 08:35 PM

damn, that trucks nice, it didnt look that nice from the craigslist pics but now that you can actually see it, its a nice truck actually

powell72 · 03-27-2007, 11:47 PM

That's one way to get a project moving faster. Looks good.

Those wheels are the cop car ralleys, from the 9c1. I have a full set, how much were they if you don't mind?

sighlurr · 03-28-2007, 04:52 PM

$60 - off of Craigslist.

sighlurr · 04-19-2007, 01:53 PM

I registered the truck today and put it in my name.

Good news: Black and Gold plates stay on the truck
Bad news: $524 to DMV in back fees from previous owner

cool deal and bad deal all at once, but atlest you get to keep the black and gold plates

sighlurr · 05-24-2007, 02:03 AM

Yanked my motor and tranny today, sold those both locally.

Below are some pics, including my driver's side bucket seat that I installed....

GREASEMONKEY72 · 05-24-2007, 02:17 AM

cool front plate, love that steering wheel and where can i pick up a bucket seat as nice as that?

GREASEMONKEY72 · 06-06-2007, 04:17 AM

just thought id give you a bump and see whats goin on???

sighlurr · 06-13-2007, 01:10 AM

WAY too many things going on right now. We just had a baby arrive last week, see below. Everyone say hi to Billie Jean.

Sold my rear slider to a board member and am working on getting my buckets on a pair of tracks. Undecided about a motor, but am keeping my eyes peeled for a 700R4 at the right price.

I'll keep you posted..

GREASEMONKEY72 · 06-13-2007, 01:37 AM
