All I can think of with cameras in the fridge is positioning peoples food in manners to depict "dirty" scenes or other silly things.

Wow, that's one heck of an upgrade.

Did you use a flywheel for a Renix or a HO engine?

Check locally too. I have a shop a mile from my house that can make a basic steel driveshaft for $200-300 depending on what is needed. That's custom length and fully balanced.

Check if you can see any turbulence in the reservoir when the engine is running and the wheel gets turned. Take off the cap, and shine a light down there with the engine running and somebody turning the wheel.

^Yeah, mine was 5 days, but I also ordered around Christmas so all of the shipping companies were backed up a little.

99 ea was a screaming deal for those tires. Looking forward to seeing all of those goodies mounted up.

Always full size if I can manage. I don't like donut spares. I check the spare with my other tires about every 2 weeks (getting fuel) to 1 time a month (because I forgot the last time). I also always make sure I have a working jack. I've had bad luck with picking up screws with my vehicles over the years, so I ensure that I won't be stranded.

Nice! It's a good looking rig in a rough and ready kind of way.

The only downside to the 2V Mod motor Pickups is trying to change those spark plugs. I thought my Crown Vic was a pain, but toss in that cabover design on the rear of the motor and t goes from pain to hell.

Plan on making more than about 500whp? If not, then a 255lph pump will be sufficient. If you want a little more wiggle room, then a Bosch 044 pump would work as well, rated at 310lph.

1947 Studebaker M5 Coupe Pickup.. OR 1952 International Harvester Or my Comanche lol

Alternatives that also work well, and in the case of soft vinyl actually help soften it up again. Woolite laundry detergent. Surprisingly it works really well for cleaning soft vinyl. A good protectant for rubber and vinyl that is not petroleum based is 303 Aerospace protectant

Rock Auto has a TRW Track bar on closeout for $16.68 with ground shipping to my house for $7.99 - or $24.67 total.

You could always see if somebody has a good condition used one for extra cheap if you just want to skate by for now.

I posted that since you said you plan on lifting it. If you are at stock height, get a regular replacement track bar. They are pretty cheap, and most companies only make adjustables for 3+ because the factory one is generally fine for up just shy of 3"

Works for 3-8" of lift, so it should work fine for what you want. http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/10215.html

It always amazes me what the price of vehicles are like outside of the rust belt. That truck would easily sell for almost double what you are asking if it was for sale here. Good luck selling it, I have a feeling it will be a quick turn around. I really wish I was close enough to buy that topper off your hands. I have a feeling trying to freight it here would cost double what I would pay for it though.

Did you go with some used S10 leafs? I noticed even new ones are pretty darn cheap.

Rodeo axle ends are way too different, and the rotors are 6 lug. The tabs are part of the housing end, and the bearing retainer flange is different. The caliper mount is cast in as part of the housing end and not removable without cutting it off the tube. So unless you wanted to swap the whole axle over to get disc brakes, it would be far more effort than it's worth. I know all of this, because the Dana 44 I shortened for my project car came off a 97 Passport (Rodeo) Picture for reference.

oh, they are ugly. I won't argue that at all, but they have reached the point of nostalgia-cool, and retro-ugly cars are one of my weaknesses. That and rare odd ball stuff.. if my signature doesn't express that already lol

I am curious as to how it rides as I would like to get about that much lift out of mine out back. right now my truck is nearly level and I am looking to lift the front another inch and the rears have been perplexing me up to this point as I don't want to drop more cash on new leaf springs when these are pretty new.

It's already a 4x4 from the factory.

I never tested with the BA-10 as the trans swap was one of the first things I did to the truck after getting it. The input shaft bearing was toast, so it warranted an upgrade. Only after that did I start working out other issues with the truck. I do know that I never had a problem with starting the truck before or after the swap. The only reason I even replaced the CPS in it was due to accidentally damaging it.

It actually ran when I first put it together, and then I decided to do the two mods afterward. The truck would start up and run fine even when it was getting .36 Volts, but it would take a bit longer to crank over before it finally fired. I also am using a non chrysler CPS, a Standard Motor Products unit.
