New England B.S. Thread

Got my new toy/project home last night. Love it already, but I've also already found some issues with it, haha! Primary problem in terms of driveability is that the shifter linkage is sloppy, so I'll probably pull it into the garage this weekend and see if I can diagnose it. From what I've read online the linkage eggs out the mounting holes pretty commonly, and a rebuilt kit costs about $60. Not a huge expense, but it'll be a couple hours of work. But it needs it; the shift pattern's loose enough that twice last night at stop signs I stuffed it into 3rd instead of 1st and stalled it like a noob.
But, I also barked the tires a couple of times (unintentionally) pulling away from a stop. So she's got some power.
Some Pics (weird lighting due to taking the shots at twilight; trying to get the photos in and also get the plates bolted on before it got dark)









The heart of the beast! 318 w/an Edelbrock Performer 4-barrel. Engine was rebuilt a few thousand miles ago and had a mild cam installed at the same time. Headers into true duals out the back. Not a huge high-performance Mopar elephant motor, but it motivates the truck in a hurry.

 

Looks awesome

 

Looks great Noel!

 

Thanks!
I'm pretty excited, but the GF thinks it's ugly.

But, I'm not surprised, since she wanted a Mustang and not an old truck, haha!
Unfortunately for her, a '68 fastback with a 289 4spd is a little out of my price range.

 

Thanks

She's cute Seth . How old is she now ?

 

How they plow in Kentucky.

 

^^^ They're doing it wrong

 

John
I have my Billies they are the b110s that are extended. They have 20k on them.
Hit me up if Rob can't find his...

 

Thanks. She's 8 months of pure crazy

 

I think maybe they need to come up here and get plowing lessons

Is this anyone's on here? Anyone know if it's legit TRD? Thinking of going to pick it up.

 

Hey, I saw this TRD exhaust at a killer deal:

It might be further than NH, but the price is really good.

 

Aww well at least she gets to spend the day with dad

 

Lol.

The dictionary is a book, fucker

 

Daycare is a Petri dish. My little guy got pink eye one week and the next week the whole family had a brutal cold.

 

Picked up a set of All Pro 1" uniball uppers for $50. Yes, FIDDY dollah

 

Ya a bunch of kids in her daycare were sick. She was fine when she was dropped off Tuesday morning, then by 11am she had a fever and had been home since

 

Nice find. I personally would not want uniballs on a daily driver, but that's a Damn good price. They need the uniballs replaced?

 

Yeah they just need new uniballs, which costs $60. I can't complain!

Granted, they're not the best, but they're better than having my stupid stock UCAs with 3.5" of lift. Plus way cheaper and safer than the LR UCAs, and it's only $110 total for new uppers hahaha

I'll be greasing the shit out of them to help keep them rust and squeak free

 

Which you think is for bludgeoning, not reading. You're making my point for me sir..
