So I talked to my pops yesterday, "My little blue truck" as it is known as now, is still sitting at the hotrod shop. I am going back home in September, so I will get some new pictures of everything. Not real sure what my plans are for the truck as I already my 4by Ranger, a 2wd hot rod, and a daily driver. Thinking about following in the Trucks! T.V. show foot steps with a modular V8 swap. Who knows, I may just leave it alone

Well just got back from an emergency trip to Kentucky, and the little blue truck is way worse than i anticipated. My brother did a number on the little thing, but he did do some good to it as well.

Here are some brand new pictures of the little dude


We will start with the good. He blacked out rest of the interior, and added a set of white faced guages. Then he had the sunroof fixed, and replaced all the locks and rear window.


P.S. Dont mind the dirt and leaves, its been sitting there for 2 months.

So I'm heading back to Kentucky the week after next, so going to start getting it all back together. Shouldn't be too hard, just have to do a clutch job, starter, and figure out the vibration in the rear, hopefully the rear end isnt toast

Well I ordered the new cats, should be in KY by next week, so that takes care of one problem. Like I said above, the next thing after that is the rearend. Gotta find out why its vibrating so bad. Maybe something as simple as the Carrier Bearing (please god let this be it) or something as bad as a busted diff. Didn't have a chance to check it the last time I was home. Going to get the new console painted and dyed and get it in the truck, might also try and find a new clutch and flywheel if I can get it cheap enough.

thanks buddy! The rear end is being fixed by someone. My little brother got the truck back, and is fixing all his mistakes and things he tore up on it. If he mistreats it again, I will just take it back again.

well, the glory age of my 93 2wd has come and gone. I gave the truck to my little brother, who in turn destroyed it, then traded it for a busted ass mustang. :(

The guy who has it now is turning it into a drag truck. First run was 16 something. Not bad, but definitely not great. Maybe the new owner will enjoy it. I know i did for the short time i got to drive it.
