Re: Papa's truck build up
We went just a bit over 1000 miles in 4 days and never had an issue!! This old truck was right at home on the highway and the back roads. We had multiple traffic jams with one moving at a snails pace for more than 2 hours and the truck never overheated. When we pulled into the hotels at night, many of the much nicer cars were topping radiators and oil off and this old truck didn't use a drip of either...
Anyway, here are some pix - hope you enjoy

Re: Papa's truck build up
the black stepper was actually the first power tour vehicle we saw last year coming into Joplin. It was good to see it again this year.
  Oh, we even averaged 13.8 mpg the whole trip!! We didn't do any hot rodding because this truck just doesn't have it in it but that is 150% bette than the 9 mpg we got last year!! also, going from the 283/th350/3.90 setup (55 mph at 2900 rpm) to the 283/700r4/3.90 setup (65 mph at 2150 rpm) was so much better!! I do not know how some of these guys were running th400 and 4.11s on 29" tires!! anyway, there won't be many updates now because the truck is where i want it until i locate a good bed and gather all the airbag parts. We do have another project coming very soon that I think everyone will like!! Like us on Facebook for the most up to date pictures on the projects we have going on - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Narxo...167?ref=stream |

Re: Papa's truck build up
Everyone, I have absolutely horrible news... I can't even talk about it. It's fixable but it'll take me 2-3 weeks to get over the damage. I've got a line on most of the parts so it'll get fixed soon.
    Lady didn't go and I thought she did. Damn old people in Honda civics... Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Papa's truck build up
Thanks for posting those pics from your tour. Sorry to see the last pics. Those old trucks can sure take a hit. Hope you get it back where want it.

Re: Papa's truck build up
It'll b better than before. I'm gonna paint it, bag it, reupholster the seat before it comes out again in the spring.
The grill is fixable, we have a hood but need fender and core support.  Here's the Civic    Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Papa's truck build up
All the front sheetmetal is off. I'm glad none of the other body mounts look like this one...

Re: Papa's truck build up
Sorry to hear about the bad news! Why is it that everybody who owns a honda civic gets ran into or is weird! Just don't make any sense! But I ain't getting one that's for sure! lol! Glad you were able to find replacement parts!

Shot from today. Truck started and ran well. Just a few more final touches and it will be good to drive while I get everything else ready for paint...

Re: Papa's truck build up
Got the wiring issue solved last night I think. Also relocated the battery to the bed. I'm going to build a old this weekend for the box so it's more enclosed.

Re: Papa's truck build up
Made it to one cruise-in. "Stanley" was the roughest vehicle there! He held his own w more people talking about it than any of the 15+ 2010+ Camaros there...
Another cruise-in in two weeks, I'll post pix |
