WOOHOO! TATE YOU ARE THE MAN. - I AM UNDEREQUIPPED. NO QUESTION. BUT I HAD NO CHOICE. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK AS IS, IT WAS UNSAFE, WOULD NOT TURN RIGHT, CRACKED FRAME ETC. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY OR CREDIT TO HAVE SOMEONE REPAIR IT. i wanted to do it myself anyways. i have figured out i am more able than i give myself credit for. i was not gonna sell it for like 500 bucks or whatever i could have gotten for it. so i did it. welder, sawzall, chopsaw, and torch are def on my list. so is a garage. and some tall jackstands. ill add more later.
no offense tken btw
why do i feel like nutz right about now
i hate the keyboards at work
x 2 on the oxywrench :D
Well, very productive night tonight. As far as the truck goes, I got the bumpstop off - turns out it was bolted on - I am just gonna say it was rusted in place so it would have to have been cut off anyways. I got two rivets popped out, and cut the head off another. I am not sure whats gonna happen with that one just yet. I got the tabs on the brake shoes "crimped" on. I got a broken bolt out of the caliper bracket and replaced it. Got the brake lines out to take to my favorite brake line man jimmy tomorrow.
So....tomorrow I take the brake lines to work. I get my bracket back from wayne. I take a long lunch and go get the new ends put on the brake lines. I borrow the corded drill from work, or one of you guys (eric?) brings one by. Drill the holes, Hopefully have enough hardware to bolt stuff up. Bleed the brakes and possily the MC. It's getting close.
I have to work tomorrow night though - damn it.
wayne can also do a pimp job of bending and flaring brake lines. he did one for me and it matched perfectly
when do you need that drill motor by?
thurs i guess would be good - i work all day tomorrow.
so it looks like if i am needed i will be coming in the AM on thursday and staying till later in the day friday. you willing to lend me a couch to sleep on?
yeah you can have a couch for sure - i will be working thurs and fri days
i have other stuff to do in town but do you have any time so we can finish up your truck... and i mean finish... it lacks so little we need to get it over with
yeah thurs night i am gonna work on it. I got the trackbar bracket back today! I am gonna prime at least one side before I go back to work. Wayne did a hell of a job with the 7018s. Tomorrow I am gonna take brake lines to work and take a long lunch prob to get them done at bryan hoes.
