I'm gonna rebuild the big block with some noise and shake and put some more rake in the rear end with some giant chrome traction bars between some scary lookin mud tires.

Thanks for the interest though.

Travis,

I like how you chose the color Pink as your example

It dont pay any more to touch it twice...

Hell for that matter i have a ton of extra paint and we can mix it all up and spray it and what ever color it comes out what it is

*highperf4x4* · 03-01-2010, 10:25 PM

that sounds like a brown to me! I'm not picky.

I am thinking of just shooting it all a heavy metallic green though. I don't know who's truck this is but I like it.

So, how much primer and sealer do you think it will take to shoot the truck?

scotts62 · 03-01-2010, 11:25 PM

A Gallon generally if you do inside and out sometimes more.. i have been having a problem with sealer lifting in places and dont know why, have tried different guns and types of it.. i use a urethane primer/sealer and works really good.

I dunno man - with paint and a bumper, it's going to blend in with the crowd. Just sayin.... *shrug*

Gotta stay with the two-tone when you do paint it though.

*highperf4x4* · 03-02-2010, 10:25 AM

yeah you're probably right on both accounts.

What is that a hint to? That you're a slow taper?

I do like the truck you posted, but I like the two tone more.

scotts62 · 03-03-2010, 08:55 AM

Whats worse is taking it off

*highperf4x4* · 03-09-2010, 12:59 AM

Well, I spent about an hour and a half at Scott's shop today trying to locate the clanging noise in my '72. Must be some slack in the rear end or it might be low on grease or something. I thought Scott figured it out when he found that there weren't any bolts in the tranny mount but unfortunately I can still hear it after he replaced them.

After I left his shop though my wiper motor gave out!!!! I was like HOLY CRAP!!!

Scott suggested some RainX for the drive home and it helped.

Then pieces started falling from under the dash. I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!

I picked up some new dash bulbs for John and Heath!

The freakin wiper motor is buried behind everything under the dash. Was a pain to get out and I busted the duct for the driver's side diverter ball. WHERE THE CRAP AM I GOING TO FIND THAT WITHOUT BUYING A WHOLE KIT?????????

*highperf4x4* · 03-09-2010, 01:02 AM

In the process I noticed my fresh air vent was broken and stuck open.

This is the crap I found under the vent flap!

Going to need a new hood seal too since it fell apart when I took it out. I love these old trucks.

I decided to replace the wiper switch while I had the dash out too. Guess what? Nobody caries it. You can buy headlight switches all day though. Friggin Mondays...........

I'm just sayin................

**wancosc356** · 03-09-2010, 01:06 AM

Bummer about the wiper motor....but you don't need one anyways. Just use that rainx and drive faster!

Mmmmm...Vent Flap Crap!

*highperf4x4* · 03-09-2010, 01:09 AM

jojo · 03-09-2010, 01:26 AM

I had a mysterious clanging noise too.
But, only when I was moving. Turns out one of the center caps
(I'm running rally's) was loose.
I know you ain't running rally's but are your center caps the bolt on type?

*highperf4x4* · 03-09-2010, 01:31 AM

No they slide through but this is definitely a driveline issue. It only does it when I lift and press on the throttle and it sounds bad sometimes.

GMC406 · 03-09-2010, 01:43 AM

Souds like your having some of my luck. Bummer man

You figure out if your block is busted?

GMC406 · 03-09-2010, 02:06 AM

Nope I was out of town when the weather was nice and its been raining and looks to all week so I dunno when I will get a chance to get underneath it and drop the starter to get a new plug in it and try again. Still crossin my fingers I know there is no antifreeze in the oil so thats a good sign so far.
