    I kind of assumed, his real intent was to get us with MIP's but since that didn't plan out for him, he claimed the pallets...

    Embarrassing stuff in your square

    Yeah, i actually wasnt speeding or tailgating, He claimed he was pulling us over for the pallets we intended to burn... I guess it's illegal to burn milled wood? The reason I didn't put up a fight in court or anything, is because who would I sue? Lol everyone involved was a close friend, and I...

    Noob Q: How do I identify my engine?

    I think I see the numbers you guys are talking about now. Right behind the alternator, and they are written on the top of a ledge? If so, I'll have to go out and look in the morning, because there is alot of gunk around it, and the paint is gone. I can only make out 3 numbers... And according...

    Noob Q: How do I identify my engine?

    Hmm, I didn't see the "pad" you were referring to... Like I said the whole engine is caked with mud and grease :P so its difficult to see things like this. I did however find a number on a brass plate that is on the Driver side, towards the back/bottom of the block. The number reads 244306 if...

    I have always assumed what my engine was, but I finally looked up the VIN only to find out it sais my truck is a 1976 400sb (stock) where my title sais 1973. I had always assumed it was a 1973 but I guess its not. (the title has the correct VIN on it btw) Because of that, I'm just going back...

    Frame question

    I would assume both frame rails would be identical in shape. But I've been wrong before. Here is a pic I simply found on Image search of a 2wd c10. I see no difference at the tank. http://www.captkaoscustoms.com/images/b4blasting2.jpg

    Frame Repair Need Advice

    Yeah I gotcha. I understood what u meant with the brace kit. I figured I'd do it out of the same thickness as the big patch kit. Anyway, On my way home from the shop today, I stopped and picked up a sheet of 3/16" steel, So hopefully this weekend I can get to working on it! weather...

    Frame Repair Need Advice

    Ok, yeah that makes sense. I dont really want to spend the money on the kit/I dont want to wait for it to ship... So I think I'll make one myself. More fun that way anyhow... How thick of steel do you suggest I make the patches out of? I have a 15"x36" sheet of 3/8" steel out back that I...

    yeah haha, getting there for sure... Whats your opinion on boxing in like 15 inches of frame right there around the steering box? worth it? or pointless?

    Frame Repair Need Advice

    The welder is a "Clarke 180" 230volt Mig welder with Argone. unfortunately there is no "guideline on the inside of the door" I bought it used on CL so I'm not sure if it came with a chart originally or not... I had it turned up all the way, but on my practice pieces it was burning though...

    Frame Repair Need Advice

    well I'm no expert, so I'm not sure of the quality. However I posted some pictures a few posts back, take a look and tell me what u think of them. (I thought it flowed out flat, but idk, maybe it needed to more.)
