If you can decipher the code, that's what I came up with:

Dodge should be boxed bout 6” tall 1/8” wall in the front, pretty strong. Center section is semi boxed, mines broke in a couple places in that area.

Rear is thicker open channel.

Sounds right, I was measuring from the ass end since the rear bumper was mia.

Course mine had a rigid boom frame bolted in the bed with few thousand pound
Things hung off it…

I got the drive shafts for the Hybrid truck today.
Just under $2000.00 with frieght
Could of maybe built some myself but no way of balancing them.
Made by Pats Drivlines in Edmonton. Ordered them last Tuesday

A quality drive shaft is worth the money, my last squarebody short box 2wd shaft was almost $600 and I picked it up! It’s worth it! Good job!

After telling myself I need to sell off a few rigs since I have way too many projects, I innocently walked into a buddy's shed to grab some canning jars for him. One day later I was dragging this guy outta the shed:

Compression seems kinda low so it'll need some work, but for the whopping sum of free I don't mind. Cylinders can be re-bored, and there's plenty of n.o.s. pistons out there.

Disappointing finish but still a great experience.

Looks like it was used to the max. Signal and tail light broken and long gone. I had a Kawa trail 175 that I beat up when I was a kid.

Have to trim the carriage bolts that mount the brace base and shock mount to the tower. Switching to Wilwood disk brake kits front & rear, new proportioning valve, master cylinder, and residual pressure valves.

If that is the same company I’m thinking of you should see some of the cars outside their shop in the summer.

The modified oem engine management system needed to be tuned with HP tuners. I paid to have 2 different guys try to tune the car and the one guy tried 3x and the car just never ran right. Now I’m doing what I should have done in the first place and installing a Holley terminator X system.

100% the absolute right decision.

I gave up on the LS because of this very thing Mike. We went back to the ol SBC.

I was so flustered with the car I only drove it once all last year(and the electric fan quit). So many hours of time and lots of money essentially wasted. I’d be $2k ahead if I’d just done this the first time.

Anybody want an LS swap factory stand alone harness with an ecm, O2 sensors and a few other bits? Lol

We did the stand alone......reflashed ecm, etc. Fuel injectors were a different plug style.....got adapters. Wiring harness didn't reach the location of the mass air sensor......and on and on.

Just fired up a nice .040" over 350 in Bubba's truck last night. Fresh build. Flat tops, 041 heads, Performer RPM intake, and so on. One wire to the distributor, and one to the alternator.

The ol Ford I called Clifford is no longer red. Gotta find a new name for it now.

I like simple too! That will be a good runner! Most of the time carb “issues” are mechanical problems in the engine. Big -camed engines are also difficult to tune carb or injected

White vehicles are hard to name. I’ve been trying to think of an appropriate name for my car for over 10 years.

 

[Canadian farm boy]

These are next for personal projects. The seadoo needs the carbs rebuilt and all new fuel lines. The Yamaha needs a total engine rebuild.

It's a grey urethane primer/sealer. I added more black dye to it as well. It is much darker that it appears in the pictures.

The Grey Goose is top of the list at this point. LOL
