Hi there. I am new to this. I am also new to creating my little low ridin dream truck....where in the hell do I start... Check out my situatuin on profile...take a look at truck and let me know please..

 

Welcome to the forum. We all are a little crazy in one way or another so it is nice to have you on here. What are all your plans for the truck.

 

plans I cant afford at once...

well this is my only vehicle, so I drive it daily....(hopefully I can) also, I want create myself a modest but unique low ridin truck...The engine needs to be replaced, and it is a simple basic stock 2 whl dr...

 

Static dropped or bagged. What color of paint. What size and kind of wheels. Are you going to rebuild the engine or swap the engine from a different kind of vehicle. Are you going for an ol school look or new?

 

wow.. your really dilling me huh?? lol.. Well heres the deal I have always loved the classic mexican low rider look.....I am thinking Burn't Orange paint with classic spoke wheels...what size You tell me...That's why I am here asking...Or just plain ghetto white trash flat black--with nice low pro wheels and dark as hell tint...BTW---my paint and body is not an issue---Great Friend will do in his body/paint shop for me I just buy materials...But right now I must concentrate on the smoking issue...Ya Think??

 

I like black but I love burnt orange. I painted my chopper a burnt orange. I say 17 or 18 inch wheels. If you are wanting the classic Mexican low rider look you will have to go with like 14 inch wheels with white wall tires. I'm not a fan of that look but that is what I have grown up around. I currently live in Las Cruces New Mexico. It is 45 min away from the Mexican border.

 

welcome to the site!

sounds like you have quite a project spread in front of you. hope the site steers you in the direction you are looking to go.

from what it looks like, you'll need to get the truck running in good decent condition first. making sure it wont leave you stranded somewhere......... hood up and parked only looks good when you mean for it to be up

diagnose the issue and then go from there. dont replace the whole motor if there is no need for it. check and see what its burning to find out what the issue really is.

 

yes yes yes white walls for sure....I am a blonde hot chick, so thats the cool part. I really love the authentic mexi low rider look...don't ask me why...man my daddy would be rollin in his grave.. Well, many dollars from now you can help me decide k....Right now we gotta quit smoking. Thank-you.

 

I will investigate the symptoms, solutions, and options...I will let you know. Thank-You..I get it outta the shop next week for the broken rear axle.....So, I will be making another decision on repair soon...Damn It...It will be worth it tho right??????

 

It will so be worth it. What was up with the rear axle?

 

just found out the housing is busted and a crack down axle shaft...........yeah scarry and way unplanned expense..

 

WoW!!

 

1500$$$ wow...I know-bummer...Well I am getting it fixed...so I guess this is the begging of a very expensive time-consuming REWARDING project huh???? That was my oil fund for the year...LOL

 

Haha!!! I'm sorry you had to give up your oil fund. I guess that means your going to be forced to get the engine rebuilt. It sounds like that will save you money in the long run.

 

most people bitch about gas prices...I bitch about buying a quart a day/every other at the gas station....I will start searching for a replacement motor.....Hey its been in the shop foe the axle for almost two weeks...thats 50 bucks right there i have saved on oil for my new motor fund...haha

 

Welcome to TM!

 

hydros, gold dayton 14's, brunt orange kandy with scallop pattern inlays under it in silver/gold/dark silver like a charcoal and your gunn have a sick little ride. keep the 22r, throw a header and cam in it, weber carb.....done deal.

 

I think grant is going to take your idea. Haha. J/k.

 

damn...... its too bad you are not here in socali...... that rear axle probably be in and out with a new one for under 150........

motor be a joke and be swapped in under a day too....... and probably be dropped before midnight

no..... im not joking...... i figure an early start in the morning and all that could be out and swapped

not to mention SD Mini Truck Girls is out here so that stuff is abundant and inexpensive...

 

i can imagine that this is the look you are going for....





you get the idea...
