1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I have no plans to, it's just gonna be a fun street truck. I wish it was easier to get hands on a 4L80E and something to control it

 

Seems like a better option

 

Ahhh

You're one of those; GILF fetish huh

 

No but I do like pie. Apple pie is my favorite.

 

Man he really wrecked that poor pie

 

Can't find any used 31x10.50 local to me. Might have to get a new one smh

 

No Llantera or pull a part yards?

They used to have stacks of em around here. I can see how they're going away though. They were very common in the 80s and 90s and most trucks in the last 20 years are on 16s or 17s now.

 

Where he lives is literally filled with llanteras and you pull yards. It was cheap automotive paradise, except the temperature and the crap grade scenery

 

The only pic I took there I really liked.

 

that cactus 3rd one in looks like a hand giving the middle finger haha.

 

Finally got my roof holes patched with rivnuts a couple weeks back, put some black button head bolts in them as I felt like the black wouldn't stand out as much as silver/chrome.

The first set of bolts had rust on them in a week, the second set I picked up got surface rust all over them overnight just from sprinkler mist.

Guess I'm going to have to paint them myself

 

I asked some local llantera and even a tire yard local that is for used tires. They seemed to know it was a "no" before even checking for me, weird.

That might be the root of it. If I needed 265/75/16 it'd be a dime a dozen I bet

 

If you're just using them as plugs, buy some aluminum annodized pan head bolts

 

Yeah they're just plugs, rivnuts were generously lathered in RTV before install and putting a dab on the bolts as well.

Looked up some aluminum annodized ones, can even get some in red...nice

 

Seriously, it's dry AF out here and they still somehow rusted overnight lmao. Must have gotten a little wet from our sprinklers. They basically turned orange in less than 24 hours.

 

good stuff thanks. The other issue I ran into around here was finding metric size M8 bolts that fit the thread pattern. Metric options are severely limited at every hardware store I went to except for a little mom and pop shop. Home Depot basically had 2 drawers for metric fasteners that looked like it hadn't been restocked in years.

 

Does WalMart, big o, discount tire sell used tires? Can I call and see if they can check local facilities?

 

In some areas Discount/Americas Tire does, at least from what I saw online. Probably depends on local regs with used tires, I dunno. Best to call and ask
