Did you keep the drivetrain and the axles and stuff ?

 

Gone but not forgoten. And will live on in others....... Well as long as mine stays alive.

 

Wow, glad i could be part of the journey, haha! I actually bought mine as a poor high school. I'm actually making some money now, but I still find it rewarding to make good use of of other people's junk by putting it on my truck, haha.

 

I have one of those shelves on my 1993 and Loco1 has one as well on his 1992...

thats exactly what i want except without the lights

 

SOmeday, If I ever get my crew on the road, I will probably put a sending unit in my rear diff. I have been thinking about wiring up a tranny temp guage, then putting the diff temp on a momentary switch and use the same guage. Maybe save some money and precious dash space. I could continually monitor my tranny temp, yet check the diff temp any time I was curious.

 

that doesnt sound like a bad idea, im just gunna put my trans and diff temp in a nice panel on a shelf just like PapeCAT's. also with some getrag trans cooler fins from Genos garage to keep it that much cooler. Id rather be safe than sorry when i tow heavy loads.

 

first picture is when i 1st got her, second picture is after...i bought the bed in PA and it was originally from florida, the fuel filler door says "unleaded fuel only" lol. i got an interior coming from 2 different truck...aftermarket fenders, rocker panel off some random w150 and a roof to come, beefed up front leafs off a chevy c30 to come...to much to continue





my mom tells me i shoulda bought a toyota, lol i love this truck every stares at me when im leaving school

 

Hows it runnin' Justin? Did you ever get your gauges ?

 

running great dude! no, i havent touched the pump although im so tempted...lately ive been checking into epoxy primer, chassis coatings, body fillers etc. the works lol

 

We just got some grey primer off summitracing.com

started doing the body parts on the 93, its good stuff. smells like industrial primer.

pretty cheap too. check www.summitracing.com

 

I really like John Deere Buff Primer personally. It is cheap if you buy it by the quart or gallon and use a gun. You buy their thinner for it too, which is cheap. The thing about it is it fills holes will, and dries fast. It goes on great.

 

Does it hold up to moisture well? Like snow and rain

 

I don't think any primer is designed to hold up against moisture, the main purpose is to provide a base for the paint to stick to. I used to work with a body man that would get upset if we moved parts outside the shop that were in primer, he said they would absorb moisture from the air. I am no paint specialist by any means, although this guy did some of the best work I have ever seen so maybe there is some fact behind what he thought.

As far as the JD primer, I used that stuff on fertilizer carts and spreader trucks I used to work on with great success.

 

Poor truck. Being violated like that. At least you put the right color over it.
