+2 from me. TSTD (too stupid to drive) is a horrible dysfunction that is growing like a plague. Glad that you and the daughter weren't hurt Jim.

Hey Mark, does that Duece.5 come with a Cummins or would you have to transplant one in?

Cheers Boys and Girls - Happy Easter!

Replaced a few / repaired some lights on the brick today...


PS: Don't buy cheap LED's. Wasting your money, as a year down the line you'll be buying these.

Nice, eh ?

Drove around today looking for this fella.

He didn't show up until near dusk, which is when the fog rolled in.

As a kid, throughout the teen years, and up until last year, I'd never seen one in person. Today, I drove around with my good camera, and just as I saw the guy, the fog began rolling in. Felt like I was shooting in England.... just without the terrorist threat...

4 blocks from my house.....

my 1st gen towed my new 3rd gen project home. it's an '03 1500 with the 4.7L/auto(blown head gasket). it's getting a VE pump 12v and a518 that i pulled from a wrecked D250 awhile back. truck is super clean, interior is near perfect, only has 94K miles on it. still runs and drives, but that little gasser is not happy!

I bought the cheap ebay, off shore 20 for $10 LED lights for my dash....194's. Lasted about a month, then started flickering on/off randomly. Think all my dash lights except one do this now....quite the disco show when I drive at night.

Here in on the Wet Coast of BC we see them in certain areas in large numbers this time of year. I go by several nesting areas on a regular basis...not uncommon to see 10-15 eagles sitting in the trees!

When I lived in Crested Butte Colo. dozens of Bald Eagles would spend a part of the winter down by the state fish hatchery.
It was awesome to see several of them just sitting in the trees together.

J.fonder nice looking little 2wd project you have there.
Are you planning on keeping the 1/2 front end?
