Now how does the engine help the grill?

I ended up with the 30gal Kobolt. I didn't have room in the eletrical box. I'm not going to be in my house but for maybe a couple more years. And it's dual voltage!

Re: Daverods 52
 
Well, that sucks.:waah: I don't think that 30 gal would keep up with my 20 ga. brad gun.:lol::lol: No sand blasting for you. I'm sure you'll put it to good use though.:metal: The engine turns the rotisserie and provides smoke for the smoker. Da

Re: Daverods 52
 
I see.

My dad has the same compressor and I used it to sand blast my frame, didn't have any problem with it keeping up. I had it set to I think 70psi and I was using my pressure blaster.

Also used it to paint the frame. I actully thought about buying him the 60gal tank and taking his. They are about the same in price. Would have been better for the plasma.

Got a S10 frame, 118" with front running gear and a title. $100.:metal: Got the passanger side floor done.

Re: Daverods 52
 
Nice find. No diff though?

daverod 03-07-2011 10:29 PM

Re: Daverods 52
 
I heard a 4x4 rear end is wider. I guess I'll try to get a 4x4 one. I'm not sure how much wider it is? I think you have to use spacers anyways. Might be cheaper just to get a reg one and spacers. I know where a cheap reg one is.:ito:

Strodder 03-07-2011 10:32 PM

Re: Daverods 52
 
Why do you want a wider rear end? Then you can't put wide tires on it. :uhmk:
Nova, or an S-10 with rear disc brakes.

daverod 03-07-2011 10:34 PM

Re: Daverods 52
 
The tires rub on the bed. The axle is to narrow. You can use offsets but you still need to use spacers. Rear disk brakes, nice.

Re: Daverods 52
 
Use a ZR2 4wd rear. It is a nice option but if you go wider that 8 inch tires you may rub your fenders

Should get my frame tomorrow. The guy had to take the cab off it, then carry it by hand out of the junk yard.:lol::lol: Dumbest junk yard I ever seen. Cars and truck everywhere no way in or out.:smoke::smoke:Did have a bunch of inline 6's.

Where's the yard at?

daverod 03-09-2011 01:30 AM

Re: Daverods 52
 
Poky Waynes. No 292's

Strodder 03-09-2011 11:55 AM

Re: Daverods 52
 
Are you running a 6 cylinder or a V-8? You might get better gas mileage with the V-8. Long time ago my friend had a 61 Belair with a 6, and I had a 58 Chevy convert with a 283. I got better gas mileage than he did.

daverod 03-09-2011 04:29 PM

Re: Daverods 52
 
I'm going with a 8 or a newer 6 maybe a 4.3. No inline stuff I aready have that.:uhmk: I really want a LS but I don't think I'm smart enough. yet.:smoke:

ruffrida2005 03-09-2011 07:06 PM

Re: Daverods 52
 
Dave you can come pick up a extra s10 rear end that I got. It's in East Texas.

sweet70beast 03-09-2011 08:18 PM

Re: Daverods 52
 
Where exactly is Wayne's? And how are the prices?

daverod 03-09-2011 08:32 PM

Re: Daverods 52
