    What was your first Vehicle?

    I bought a 1975 chocolate brown Ford Maverick with a 302 V-8 and a C-4 auto for $200 when I was 14 back in 1989. I spent the next couple of years shining it up, painting the wheels and just cleaning it up. I thought I had a rocket ship until I learned the hard way that the 302 was VERY tired...

    Lets see your lifted trucks

    :33::33::favorites37: So this is what being right for a change feels like.......AWESOME!!! I've been married for 7 years so this is rare.....almost unheard of.

    Lets see your lifted trucks

    Ok, well it must be an optical illusion then because if you look at the picture with the black truck in it, the cab of his Chevy is about a foot taller than the bed is. And in the engine compartment photo, that motor looks teeny tiny in there. It looks as if you'd have to rappel down into the...

    Lets see your lifted trucks

    Holy shee-it man, how tall was the damn body lift on that thing? Looks like 4" or so....:yucky:

    How Will My Square Body Look With XX Lift and XX Tires?

    Let's just say there's going to be some art work on it soon. Nothing says, "10 bolt POS" like a :doh2: face on it. Besides, I can spot leaks a lot easier from a distance with a brightly covered cover on it.

    How Will My Square Body Look With XX Lift and XX Tires?

    Well here's a little comparison of my Suburban Before... After... Rough country 4" lift, 33X12.50 15" Yokohama AT's on stock Rally wheels. Rides pretty good and I love the way it looks now..

    Lets see your lifted trucks

    Haven't actually driven it far enough to figure out if it's significantly rougher or not. I don't want a squishy ride but I don't want to be 3" shorter from spine compression after a trip either. I'm hoping it's going to be firm but not too harsh. Time will tell I guess.

    How Will My Square Body Look With XX Lift and XX Tires?

    Been gone for awhile but I'm finally back! For those that don't remember, I have an 88 Suburban and I bought a 4" lift for it waiting in storage for a time when I could install it. Well, after we had daughter #2 and several events where life just got in the way, I finally got around to...

    square beats out ford and dodge on top gear

    In all fairness, it not only survived Alaska, but it survived the idiots that were in the show. That in itself deserves an award!

    Off roading

    I agree but like I said, I didn't have nearly the knowledge of vehicles I have now. I really wish I could re-locate a couple of my old trucks and give them the love they needed.

    Off roading

    It was an ok truck, but that 4.3 was carb'd with a Rochester Q-jet. :yucky: It would bog down under hard acceleration and going up any steep hills required downshifting like a mutha!. I had that thing for 2 years and sold it in 1995. I kinda wish I had the knowledge then that I have now...

    Off roading

    I had an 86 fullsize K-10 with an absolutely gutless 4.3 V-6 in it, 10 bolt axles with 3.42 gears and an SM465 and I pulled out tons of stuck folks. One guy had his mom's Ford Fairmont station wagon buried so deep in the mud that it poured in every time he opened the door. I hooked up the...

    Suspension/Tire Question

    Do yourself a favor and forget the body lift. I had a friend of mine who had a Jeep Wagoneer with a body lift on it. One night we were going down a trail and we had to cross a ditch that was pretty deep. My Blazer went through no problem but he hit it with a little too much force and sheered...

    Best front clip?

    It's a toss up between the 89-91 dual headlight grill or the flat nose, round headlight 73-79.

    What is this truck worth?

    Or they could have been swapped out. My 88 Suburban has a TH350 in it instead of the 700R4 it came with from the factory.

    What is this truck worth?

    After checking, 1978 was the last year for the Dana 44 front axle. Starting in 1979, GM went with the 10 bolt front axle for their 1/2 and 3/4 ton's. 1980 was the last year for the 12 bolt rear axle in 1/2 ton's, Suburbans and K-5's, after that the 10 bolt rear was the only rear axle...

    What is this truck worth?

    I believe the last year for the 44 was 78 or 79 and GM went to the 10 bolt after that.

    Gauge cluster F%#k!

    I went out there one summer day and found a beautiful, (at one time), 88-95 Chevy 1/2 ton 4x4. The only problem was....it had burned to the damn ground, top to bottom front to back! There wasn't anything left of the interior, the tires had melted, valve covers on the motor warped along with...

    Gauge cluster F%#k!

    The only good deal I got from them were 5, 15" Pontiac Rally rims with beauty rings off of a T/A for my Ventura II. I got the wheels with tires for $23 total.....not each. I rock :rockit:

    Gauge cluster F%#k!

    I went to the PNP in Sparks one time looking for a parking light lens. I found one, walked up to the counter with it and they told me it was gonna be $30. :flipthebird: I went to the PNP in Carson City and it was only $7. This was after the guy in Sparks told me they had the best prices in...

    Gauge cluster F%#k!

    If you're talking about the PNP in Sparks, avoid that shit hole like the plague. Go to the one in Carson City off Highway 50. For some reason, they were always $5-$10 cheaper on everything than the one in Sparks.

    Fillmore goes under the knife

    Back from the dead! Hey all, I'm back from the land of the lost. Between work, the silly season and life in general, I've been gone for awhile. I've lurked around from time to time, but I haven't had anything useful to say. Anywhoo, I realized the other day that I never followed up on the...
