    B.w.t.

    Hey guys -

    First time back on the forums posting in a long time. I need help in a bad way. I will try to fill you in.

    I am finally going to complete the SAS on my truck. It has been in my driveway not moving for about a year and a half now. The big rush now is because I have finally gotten sick of not driving it - I miss it - and also because the city code enforcement office has given me notice and I need to make it a "functional vehicle" - technically by monday. Also - the car that I have been driving kinda blew up on me so my transportation is kinda limited. I have most of the parts I need already - track bar, tie rod, drag link, shocks, springs, axle, pitman arm, etc.

    What I need now is help. I need someone who has a welder and some experience and is willing to come to the house with welder. I can def work out some form of compensation. My frame needs welding and reinforcing in two places. I also need to fab a track bar bracket up. I also need two tires at minimum to roll on, don't care what size or anything to be honest as long as they work. I can buy more later. Some extra hands will be needed to get the axle in place im sure. I think that the only pieces I am missing now are the lower coil buckets, hardware, gear lube, and little misc crap. I am thinkin that initially I won't even hook up the driveshaft, run a ring gear or axles in it. I can do all that once it moves under its own power and is off jackstands. Cooper and Eric have both mentioned they could help - anyone else out there? I don't care if I know you or not - I am in a pretty serious bind right now. I am willing to feed and "water" and whatever else is needed anyone who can lend me a hand - I will be in deep debt to you. I am sure I will follow up to this - but I wanted to at least post something up now that I finally can. Thanks in advance.

    Seth

    He's a CLEAN BOY!!! Wash your own DAMN SHEETS!!!

    S.O.S.-Save Our Seth!!

    BTW, "Water" = beer, and lots of it.

    I know some of you had a great time (even though Seth wasn't there) the night Eric exploded his driveshaft(sorry had to take one more shot at you, Eric). The house across the street from Lissa's is where this is. So some of you already drank his beer, even though the guy wanted to drain a keg into a bucket when he couldn't find a working tap... Eat at New York Sub a year or so ago? Seth probably made your sandwich. See, he didn't even know you then and he fed you and gave you beer! Imagine the possibilities after ressurrecting his truck! I'm not saying he's gay or nothing, but if you fix up his truck you might have a chance, Robbie...

    Help Seth out if you can, He's a CLEAN BOY!!
    Boats and hoes

    Stumble in to the liquor store
    With a dollar-fifty for a bottle of wine,
    I know just what I'm lookin for
    Thunderbird will do just fine.
