that house is cool
Bumper looks clean i think those run as much as a roll pan.. hmm cant decide
Stop Obama very funny haha.
De walt makes the best power tool.

idk what your plan is for the gas filler .. are you planing on hacking up the side of your bed?

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

dad thinks i should hack up my bedside, im too scared and dunno what I wanna do.

its a CABIN lol stop obama lol it was randomly in someones rear window took a pic i like taking pics of stuff dewalt lol, i brought 2 batteries and they both barely survived! I wanna bumper sticker that says VTECLOL

PLEASE DONT GET A ROLL PAN PLEASSSEEE get a dang bumper pleasee lol

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

haha whats wrong with roll pans? i think they clean up the rear end. then i need a chrome front bumper.. the junkyard has one for 70 bucks.. idk tho

full charged battries haha. all we have is dewalt. i have a nice grinder from dewalt i just like the name.

ID BE SCARED TO HACK IT UP TO you should consider welding in a panel like that, on a junk bed before doing it on your bed .. you know about my driver side fender.

its all about the heat

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

i know it! I may try to make a sidemarker filler first, and if that dont work out do the fuel door...whatta bout taking it to a bodyshop and let them do it...dad thinks it'll look good but idk im just scared it'll turn out like crap and lots of bondo and I wont like it...

idk i just like the look/practicality of bumpers...roll pans look like they belong on s10's. i paid 80 for rear chrome bumper and brackets plus 40 in gas for my truck (like 1hr 15 min. drive) fun fun though.

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

are you gonna take it to a body shop was that the plan?
or where you gonna try to do it on your own?
what about those reflector fillers. like you open up the reflector on the back left side.
i think lmc sells a kit for it.

yeah roll pans look kinda tacky depends how you install them

Going to muffler shop to see if he will weld on a gas filler (how can I get gas fumes off/out if he says no lol). Then to carquest to return my old pos starter and get my 70$ back. pics of tire tonite when i get home ps noone was injured

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

great build you got going...im impressed that a guy your age could stand your rig bein down for so long....keep up what your doin.....your truck deserves it

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

Thanks that means alot!

Well im on spring break and staying at home...hopefully the new wheeler will be done by the weekend and ready to be up for sale (and take it on some rides over break) then gotta work on gas filler, and somewere between workin on truck ridin wheelers and floating the river in the boat, ive gotta sell the wheeler for truck money!! :) Yeah it stinks not having a pickup or anything to drive lol! Whats soem stuff i can do to make it look better? (not very $)

edit, saw a SWEET 1 ton 4x4 454 orange fleetside truck at the carwash, this thing was badddddd! Talked to the owner awhile said it was a frame off he did about 12 years ago, took him about 2 years. Looks great said he doenst get it out much but had to haul a load of something with it, no pics I think my gf got some i'll try to get for yall. It was orange with 7172 frontend. very niceeee He said he had a 70 4x4 if I was interested I said no at first (dont need more projects) but as I drove off I regret not getting his number (would love to swap my body on 4x4 frame

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

my spring break is over tomorrow.... dun dun dun.

keep at that wheeler so you can get some dough

shoulda got his number buddy i wouldn't mind a 4x4 either

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

Glad to see you're still plugging along at your truck. It really impresses me to see someone of your age to have the ambition and drive that you do. Truck is coming along very well.

What did you ever do with that old Ochre parts truck you had?

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

Thanks man!

I sold it, regret selling it badly. Wish I kept my cab to do the rust repair and then swap em over. I kept the 350 and im going to build it sometime...

never saw a pic of one of your ls powered trucks....got one?

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

this might be a little lait but DO NOT USE the cheapo play sand me and my dad did that and the sand blaster was realy mest up we had to take it back and get a new one the sand cant be wet at all

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

I haven't finished one yet. I've been too busy with work and family to do anything at all.

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

Well I got T boned by a moron today. Was leaving the gas station and some guy came zipping around the gas pump and slammed me. split the trailing arm slid the rearend back, slid the bed down and back and scared me. I was fine thankfully! Wasnt my fault. But have a bad feeling he didnt have insurance (expired tags,didnt have insurance on him but claimed to have full coverage)...and just didnt look like he'd have insurance. Saying he does have insurance, what should I do, i have receipts and pictures of everything. Will they total it out being a 40 year old truck, or can I pass it as a classic on its way to a restoration (truth). thanks guys! Hopefully I get lots of insurance and maybe find a swb or
4x4. Wanna tear into it but cant until insurance gets at it.

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

You did call the cops right

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

Wow this will be a great time to go with a swb frame use your cab front clip motor trans everything then try and find a bed

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

ouch! i hate that. hopefully you will get something out of it. and i agree with orangesi,

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

Exactly what I was thinking, or a 4x4...

Yes I called the police and they made out a police report, I just hope the other guy had insurance, he claimed to have full coverage...any idea if they'll total it out or what? I have no idea what im doing and dont wanna get shafted..

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

From the pics probally but you should be given the chance to buy it back

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

what will the insurance ask for it? do yall think the frames damaged, found a swb roller frame about 45 min away for 325$

Ive got all pics/recipts of everything ive ever done to it rebuilt front/rear suspension BRAND new tires lol starters waterpump brakes and ALOT more stuff I cant even think of right now, pretty much all I lack to make it finished is paint body/motor and some lil stuff.

edit if you guys want some carnage pics from underneath i'll go take some

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 

i you got them pics, lets see em.

srry bout the accident
