no sorry I wish my truck did!

I am selling a complete front and rear z06 conversion. Definitely not brembo, but about a third the price and all brand new nearly.

how much are you after?

Look for dash cracking and chrome peeling thats all ive found on mine

Get it, great trucks man! Post pics if you do.

That sounds awesome. She will be thanking you down the line for sure.

Yeah it will be nice. Not that I drive it in the winter anyways. but ti will be nice. heck it really wont get driven much after the rebuild. hopinh to never drive it in the rain it will be so clean. lol

Sounds like quite the project to have the frame powder coated! Post up some pics when you get a chance

Sweet! No more cave man mechanic's, huh?

I'm still on a dirt floor, no heat.

it gets cold he in Mt last week was down to 8* for the high for 3 or 4 days. I said forget that I'm getting a heater, Lol

I'd have a hard time leaving the house in those temp's, let alone work in the cold.

LOL! Just tell her that it is a knock in the motor, and you will check it out when you get a chance LOL!

Lol funny. the last motor had a knock called a spun rod bearing. hoping for no more.

Yeahhhhhh. Stock is good in that case.

you should look into a atk short block very reasonable !

Thanks. Ill have to look into them. I got a quote from thompson motorsports for 3k shipped to me. thats a stock LS2. seems decent as well.

yeah check them out, you can get a forged 408 for like 3600 shipped

Nuce

Sounds like a great time. Have fun.

just like the old saying it definitely helps by knowing someone Forsure

post a picture love to see it

It can be legal if you have a prescription from an optometrist.

Some people

Yeah, black is a bi**h to keep looking good but nothing looks better when it is freshly cleaned up. Good luck with the buy Shawn.

Yeah. But Im having some small scratches and chips taken care of right away. I have always wanted to try out a black vehicle. Im a clean freak so it should be fun. good thing I have a ton of Adam's polishes. first thing I will be doing.

Next weekend I'm lowering mine., I also have the 3/4 kit. Can't wait, I've had the kit for a while but no time..

Dude, in the middle of a hell job... Cant get that top bolt out of the rear shackle. Decided to remove the spare tire to get to it better, now I cant get the damn spare tire out...

The best a easiest way to do the rear lowering kit is to pull the bed. guy guys can lift if off. this is the only way i lower truck. I have done 3 this way and it makes for work on them cake. you might need to add head to that upper shackle bolt to get it to come out.

Sorry to hear that brother. I`m a Navy Corpsman and have delt with plenty of patients with stones. I worked with a Urologist who use to tell patients to drink Diet Mt.Dew because it has a type of acid that eats away the stones over time. Not a quick fix, but would help some. Hope that helps man. Take care!

Thanks. Maybe I'll have to look into it. been tryin to pass one for the last few days. seems like the pain comes on strong about 2am when I'm tryin to sleep. if its wasnt for the meds I'd be in all sorts of pain.

Red bull and monster drink addict? Those cause them. Way too young to be having this issue

dang shawn, your gonna have to haul your SS in boxes to the new house lol... congrats bud

Lol it's going to suck to move considering thee SSS is in pieces. But congrats

yeah it will suck. but I have already started putting the truck back together to be a roller. so it wont be bad. hoping the cab and bed will go on this upcoming weekend.

thanks man! im going to tear into it in a couple days and see what the problem is . either way i think the motor has to come out . but a life line was thrown to me so we will see what happens.

well I hope it all works out for you. keep use posted.

Yeah thanks again for all the play by play texts Jon. I didn't sleep at all that night wondering what was going down.

I saw a S10 SS get totaled in front of me T-Bone style...driver was very old and all he did was stare at my truck after the accident. I seriously felt his pain. Now build that engine up!

There is no problem getting more projects it only begins to become a problem when they don't get finished

^What happens to me

yep. no big deal he was actually pretty cools. could have wrote about 6 tickets if he wanted to.

Damn Shawn u jinxed yourself lol. At least no ticket, that's always a plus

sorry you got jinxed from posting on my tint topic.. at least you got a warning

I hear ya man! Vant wait to see it happen i want to get them powdercoated

count me in

me too!

Grab it if its local or if you have a choice of a few. To even find one is rare, local even more rare. The SS can wait for mods IMO.

Shawn, Do you ever make it down to Gillette? I've been contemplating selling mine for another 68 Charger. Let me know if you make it down this way.

Any updates?

congrats. my first is almost 6 mo. they just keep growing on you more and more

Congrats Shawn!

Congrats on the baby boy bro, it's such a blessing!

At least you passed them quick. The one I had took well over a week to get the the bladder, and 3 weeks after to pass it. It was so painfull

oh damn shitty. no they passed pretty quick for me. which I'm thankful for. I don't know what I'd do if they lasted weeks. for the 5 hours I had them I was all sorts of pissed off.

I hear ya Shawn. I have chronic PCKD on both kidneys (Poly Cystic Kidney Disease which will lead to kidney cancer or failure eventually). Not trying to compare as I know stones are more painful, but I have a good idea what your going through. I will try to PM you sometime with more info.

you guna start a build thread i want to see this come together... since your other one got locked up

Yes I will start one as soon as parts start showing up. Just finished order everything for the motor. Next is fuel system.

It's hard to make the money and easy to blow lol

I agree with "1BAD2K".

Replica looks good I had one but ended up selling it.

I want to get oje of these replicas but since im new to the site it wont let me message hpnotq4.8 what can I do about that

Listen to the wife. If your gonna go fast you need to be able to stop faster. Remember stay safe.

Oh I know Im looking into it now. seems like tracking down all the parts could be fun. over time. if I can score on a set of calipers for a good deal. Im gonna go for it.

One of the best mods ive done, for braking and looks too. To bad ima probly have to take them off to be able to sell the truck but ima more than likely save them and use on my next truck

No problem

Thank you. i searched a few times and couldn't find it.

I've got extra LED's (replace the 194 map lights and corner lights on your truck). They where an over shipment. I have 10 enough to do 1 truck. I have one festoon LED left. You need 3 two for outer mirrors and the big dome light inside. Adds awesome bright white light to the truck.
