Ehhhh just another truck

[MommysLittleMonster]

Awesome little truck!

There's a good two inches of room to tuck your exhaust up some more. Or we could just cut it off...

Nice!!

Found this browsing through an antique mall today. So I made a new shifter out of it. The base has a standard-metric thread adapter, so all I had to do to change from the M10x1.50 in the adapter to the M8x1.25 shifter is insert a heli-coil! I'll post pics mounted tomorrow.

Thank you sir! She's not bad.

Honestly, I'm pretty dissatisfied after the wreck. Just so hard to look at it the same now knowing it's not the clean little truck it used to be.

Wheels should be a nice addition. I'll have two mounted by next weekend I hope. Until then I probably won't update unless I get bored.

Those rims.... Haha. And dem toes. You may want to trim down your U bolts that hold your blocks in the rear unless you plan on getting bigger blocks, it looks better and they can't catch on anything in the road.

Don't pick on muh toes mate, fawking spider fucked me up lol

Part of me is wanting to drop the rear another inch and flare it so I haven't trimmed them yet. Although, I may just raise it an inch and stick with it there.

Dunno, soooooo many ideas going through my head right now.


Thinking about trying this front airdamn out sometime soon.

Ahhh interesting mirror choice there. I actually sell those at work and have them on my doors in chrome. Look identical!



I've been slacking on updates.... Not a lot to update but here you go.





My truck is almost too low for ramps now..






Need moar higher.





Finally got a good look at the exhaust. Don't think there's any way to tuck it higher.






Got some vinyl from the fabric store and made a new door card.

I'm struggling to find a set to fit the direction the truck is going. I don't really like the 80's block style ones, and the 70's bullet style are pretty pricey and not very functional. I had a set of some generic ones on my old Datsun 210, and they looked great but you couldn't really see shit.

Any suggestions?

As for seeing shit - my advice is to not have fender mirrors! Hahaha. I've got a blindspot from the front window to the back window. You just learn to headcheck 3 times thoroughly instead of 1 time quickly.

Here's mine. I had the exact same feelings as you. Didn't want boxxy 80s ones on giant stands and didn't want bullet ones.

That's unfortunate of the accident, and that camper makes me lol. The new wheels look promising though...

[metalmonkey47]

Man those wheels are gonna be killer. And let me know about that 620, at least send me a few pics

Yessir! I'll get some pictures and PM them over. It's a great truck.

Not bad, kind of like peep mirrors on the old hot rods.
I didn't want bulky 80s ones, but thought round didn't suit the era, so I went to a local autobarn and picked up some for $20 a pair. They're were pretty much throwing them out, marked down so many times!

Looking good though, keep these updates coming.

You guys have good taste! I've been shopping for a set, but haven't decided what would look good on the truck yet.

I have my eyes on these though.
