    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...

    Embarrassing stuff in your square

    It was around 1030 at night a few days after my 18th, me and some friends were going up to have a fire in the woods. Had a few truck fulls of pallets and what not. half way up the road, I see a car in the oncoming lane with his brights on. I simply give him the ol' *flash* *flash* right as 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...

    Noob Q: How do I identify my engine?

    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

    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?

    So I got out yesterday morning but the wind was giving me troubles... Found some more time today to work on it, and for some reason my welder is acting up or something :P I'm not exactly sure whats up with it, it just doesn't sound like its arcing right... I could be fooling myself though...

    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...

    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.)

    Frame Repair Need Advice

    hmm don't exactly know what u mean. The beads I did on the front were longer than the heat marks you see in that picture. make sense?
  16. Magnum44357

    Frame Repair Need Advice

    well from what I saw, it looked like to me, as if it re-cracked exactly the same size and length as before. the heat marks are from welding on the backside, the front welds actually went longer. idk y the crack was longer on the front than the back, but it was :P That make sense? as far as the...

    No fluid coming thru bleeder valve

    I had the same issue with my truck last year. rear driver side cylinder wouldn't push any fluids. I too replaced the cylinders and master cylinder. It turned out to be little bits of rust and dirt. I assume it was from my old master cylinder because of how bad of shape it was in. I had a friend...

    Ok, so I wasn't exactly able to "get right on this tomorrow" haha but I was able to finally get out this morning and do some more grinding. I ground all the old welds off, beveled out the cracks, and welded up most of it. I took your advice Crazy, and bought a cheap torch, pound the "pulled out"...
