Random pics (that you took) thread...

Yes, smooth bore.
It was made by a company that makes several sizes.
Not the best quality, the welds weren't the best I've seen, but decent quality overall.
It was so pitted, I had to draw file the flats & muzzle before sandblasting.

First pic of the 1873 doesn't look like it has any finish left (it was just the florescent lighting).
It DOES & you cant buy 130 year old patina! Lol

Those trucks are worth their weight in gold now, or atleast whenever I see one up for sale. Nice rig. I’d have the original rims on her though !

Thanks, I bought it at the right time, for a killer deal now. I like it’s odd options, it was ordered. I have the original order recipe. All manual, 4speed no power anything, sport mirrors, radio delete, and easy access spare tire and ho 305. I still have the original wheels and caps, I haven’t see this style cap that it came before, but it drives a lot better on the 20” wheels

My humble square body...
1987 S10 4x4 2.5L Iron Duke 4 banger, 4 speed manual tranny.
.411 gears front & back.
I've drove it everyday for 7 years including during Deer seasons...

Only thing I've done was put a clutch in it.
If you have to lock it in, you in trouble (it does CRAZY GOOD in 2WD!).
It's been thru HELL & BACK!
Its hauled A BUNCH 'O DEER & hogs out, driving down 4 wheeler trails to load...

Only problem is...
Arkansas Interstate speed is 75mph.

My S10 is pretty wound up @ 70mph.
75mph is prolly the highest speed I've ever had it & it was WOUND UP (very high RPM).
I usually cruise @ 65mph.

But, it lugs up anything in the Arkansas Ozarks (it's all torque & super low geared).
It's a BEAST in the mountains!

It took a beating thanks to a EF1 Tornado on May 3rd 2021.
Not a problem, new rear window & I have been driving it ever since a year later..

 

[Gullet]

I used a floor jack on some plywood on the seats, with varied lengths of 2x4's to pop the roof up so another rear window would fit. Lol

You guys ever seen copper vent lines in a house? 3” copper pipe!

I did a laundry room addition where the vent had to be exposed so we did it in copper to match the rest of the exposed venting.

I have an approx 40' run of 4" copper drain pipe from the kitchen/bath area to the outside of the foundation. There's a 3" copper stack in the wet wall between the two rooms that reduces to 2" in the ceiling and then goes up through the roof. House was built in 1948 and was 100% copper water and drain. The only remaining copper water line comes up from the well water tank to the hot water heater, and a hot & cold run to the laundry area. Everything else to the kitchen and bath has been changed to PEX.

I've always said it's part of my retirement plan!

Lightning plus fence charger equals a smelly mess. Dad got hit about a week ago. He had it laying in the back of his truck and you can smell it from across the yard.

Nice! Those were good little trucks too.
The 4 bangers werent even hard to work on like the 2.8s were, and way more reliable.
I had a 1983 Ferd Ranger.
First year (before that they were the courier). It had a 2.0 that was gutless in anything but 1st gear. 2wd, but it went about anywhere within reason.
No options, other than a heater.
