I'm sure after, what's it been 3 years of building, you just want to drive her around anyways. Haha glad to see she's getting some road time. West coast nats isn't to far a drive for yah. Would be sweet to see her pulling a boat out there!! she's looking good burnzy

 

agreed!!!

 

thanks. it definitely seen it's share of a trailer as i showed it before it was drivable. it's got over 2k miles on it now.

thanks. the truck had sat in the az desert since 1991. still makes me happy knowing i bought a truck listed as parts and made it into what it is.

 

truck made it to west coast nats









on the way home about 10 miles from phoenix it started acting like the fuel pump was dying. my friend had a trailer so i towed it the rest of the way home. now it runs fine so i'm suspecting that the gas i got in parker was garbage. i was hesitant to fuel there but i had limited options lol.

 

Will you be taken it on the cruise to the pines???

 

i would like to so we have as many club rides as possible on our cruise, but not sure if it's gunna make it. it's getting hot and i still have no gauges. would suck to overheat it on the hill.

 

Come on a temp gauge kit is $20. Don't blow a motor bro, thats the only gauge you really need lol

 

And the lux looks killer dude. Glad to see its driveable. Ill have to go thru the build again and refresh my memory but I know how much you did to it so far.

 

^^Yeah...pictures doesn't convey the amount of work that has been put into this machine!!! You truly need to see first hand!!!!

 

lol i have over $600 in gauges that i bought like a year ago. i just wanted a finished dash before i mounted them, and i have no desire to make the dash lol. eventually i'll get the dash done and mount the gauges. a speedo would be nice. i added 12v power outlets to use my phone gps, but it has spotty signal out here.

yep, more time and money then i should have ever put in a minitruck lol

 

I haven't had a speedometer in years. Theyre over rated. I tell the cops I don't have one and they laugh

 

fuel pump was officially dead. would work fine but the second it got hot it would not make pressure. i replaced it with a 255lph walbro instead of the 190lph that it had. seems to be doing good.

took it to a show on july 4th.



trying to find motivation to build the sheetmetal bed floor. but it's hard to ignore a hot arizona summer so it will be a while lol

 

Your truck looks sick! I think I'm drooling... Are you going to paint it or leave it the way it is?

 

Get some plexi and bolt that in for a bed floor. It would look rad. Nothing to paint either lol.

 

thanks. it's getting painted by a friend. he done several cars that have won best of show paint so i'm really excited, but i want the body to be perfect. gotta fix all the crappy 70's door gaps.

the center of the floor is going to stay open. it's gunna suck keeping it clean, but they can't judge what they can't see at a show. so it's gunna be wide open.

i will keep that in mind!

 

Looks great man

 

Again, run plexi lol. Judges can usually see through it. No wiping down everything or worrying about cops saying you need tire covers. I have pics of roadster ranger that has plexi floor head to tail. I have always wanted that glass bottom boat feel in something.
