Ratman74 · 10-29-2018, 07:09 PM

May I suggest you reroute your fuel line away from the exhaust manifold.
Perhaps up over the heater hose.

Had a little sunset photo shoot with Frankentruck this evening

yea, it happened pretty quick ....

driving on the freeway, to "oh ****! i wasn't changing lanes ..."

found out the bottle jack is too tall when there is no tire at all...

I knew the tires were old, but I didn't realize they were date coded 2006

... 4 new goodyears on the way as we speak

Ratman74 · 10-31-2018, 10:55 PM

Good catch, I hadn't rerouted it yet after the valve cover swap.

Ratman74 · 10-31-2018, 10:58 PM

Truck or Treat

**sirJim** · 11-01-2018, 05:24 AM

Scared some people at a Halloween party and made it in the local news. at the end of the clip. Dont know if this link works. https://www.tv2lorry.dk/nyheder/31-1...vel?autoplay=1

Drove back to college today so of course I had to test out the new cooler by bringing some Thanksgiving leftovers with me. The cooler worked great

'63GENIII · 11-25-2018, 11:27 PM

Abused. 1.5 tons of rock. Got the photo late but was full over the bed rails. Sketchy as it comes. This is the 3rd load. One more next weekend!

And I was afraid to put plastic tubs in my bed without a blanket.

highwinger · 11-26-2018, 09:09 AM

I got my motorcycle loader working...so I thought since it worked in rehearsal. I have some more work to do but that's the design process.

**Clyde65** · 11-27-2018, 08:41 AM

No pics but took Clyde out for a drive last evening, first since new paint. I have a bunch of stuff to put back on. Grill, bumpers, etc.

**cwcarpenter98** · 11-28-2018, 11:32 PM

Hauled some pallets to my friends lake house for a bonfire this weekend

**Chevy Fleetside** · 11-29-2018, 02:02 AM

I put mine in the garage to get it out of the rain..

roll_the_dice · 11-29-2018, 10:22 AM

Working on the gauge cluster this week/today. Sand blasted, painted and powder coated some parts.

shp4man · 12-01-2018, 09:29 PM

Helped my daughter move across town. Four 40 mile trips in total- Blue didn't miss a beat, though!

vrvento · 12-03-2018, 03:26 PM

Pulled a Stump.

I realized yesterday that it costs me less to insure this truck for a year than it costs to rent a truck for a day. Having a cool old truck that works is the best.

Took a nice long drive in the country, saw some beautiful little towns. Stopped to check out the shop and salvage operation of a friend of mine, brought home another Triumph project. Fantastic start to the weekend, put me in a nice relaxed Christmassy mood ... took 20 minutes to convince him (and his girlfriend) that the truck isn't for sale, turns out they've been looking for something similar for a while.

Yes, it is!
I find it interesting you are using Photobucket to park your pics. They're still holding mine hostage.

Dig the Triumph. I had a T100 I scramblered out. My nephew laid it down and it slid under a guard rail. I bought another one, it's getting heavily modified since I build custom bikes for a living.

Pontiacgurudan · 12-09-2018, 11:42 PM

I took my old motor to a buddies house, he's going to rebuild it and put it in his g-body el Camino.
