When I seent the cinder blocks I was certain you wuz puttin in flapper bars and a Skyjacker shackle lift to make the 15 x 10 American classics and a pair of Copper Cobra 315-85-15 white letter radials clear the fenders.;)
It needs the 1980s "rake".:D
From what I could see in the pic, the body and paint are freakin mint on that one.
Cleanass rig, even if its a Dudge.:p

The rear end was roaring....we are replacing it. Was 3.73 gears, 10" drum brakes, and 5 lug axles.

We couldn't find a rear end that was the "right" one with 5 lug axles, just 6 lug. They all had 9" brakes too. So....we pulled our brakes and axles out and swapped. Replaced the axle seals too. Pinion yoke was different too. This rear end is from a 4wd...so bigger u joint. Changed the u joints and used a "bastard" joint in the rear. Replaced the rear seal in the transmission too. Yeah....was a fun little deal.

As for that 1980s rake......not really. Just installed a set of skinny wheels on the front. After this rear end swap, I'll order the back wheels an tires. Fat.....that's what's going there. Next up, 2" drop spindles in front, 3" drop at the back....

You should prolly port it while you got all this other work going down. I'd follow a thread on dat.

Happy Thanksgiving and good morning. Any luck yet with the deer Ed, @redline4 ? I haven't been out yet, letting the locals get theirs before I fill the freezer. I don't hunt for anlers, just like the meat.

My oldest daughter got what would have likely been an 8pt on Saturday afternoon if the 1 main beam hadn't been broken turning it into a 7pt.
I shot a doe Sunday.
Took a nub buck yesterday.
My parents and nephew have not seen a deer since Saturday at their place so I'll pretty much take what I'm given at this point to load the freezers.

Good morning guys. Hope everyone has a great holiday. Anyone ever brine their turkey? Trying it for the first time this year.
I have noo idea what happens to the turkey before I eat it. I am not allowed in the kitchen to have anything to do with the meal. Always tastes good though. I do always offer to help, but it is never accepted. So to answer your question, maybe?

I really love the sandwiches after the best!

oh yeah, its the way to go. we’ve been doing a simple “dry brine” they call it, basically just coat it with salt and seasonings inside and out and wrap it up tight in plastic wrap for a day. turns out great

It's a V6 truck. Gonna stay that way as long as the 3.9 stays running.

I use a brine for ours. 3/4 cup of kosher salt to a gallon of water. Spices to suit yourself.

I cook it a roasting pan stuffed with lemons, apples, and fresh thyme.

Yes....it is yummy.
