oh well. too late now..haha you'll have to stop by and say hi. When you be there? could be doing major work on Mikes rig when you come..or mine..or both..haha

 

Deal. I guarentee it'll hold lol. I might even prep the surface so it looks good. I promise I'll fully weld all the joints

 

yikes...thats scary..haha

And go for it! lol could wait for my dad to get home and go next weekend and he will help remove em and put Frankenstein on jack stands.

charge mark like 200 bucks and some beer.

still be cheap 35s haha

oh wow..

look at that marc..fully welded and everything!

 

AFAIK, I'll leave here the day after Christmas, sooo I could be there on the 27th? It'd be a nice place to stop and rest after 1500 miles. Would love to help out on the rigs!





Hell, you could help me with my wiring!

 

gross, wiring

 

yay wiring! haha

too bad your truck isn't mobile..

and the 27th is when Mike is due here. So yea. Im sure you can stop by and rest up.

finally..

 

Which Mike? Old man Mike in Seattle?

 

yep

 

I'm sure I read this somewhere but I don't remember now... What all are you doing on his rig? I'm guessing installing that GM alternator and maybe some fab work as well or wiring maybe?

 

when does mike....drive back?

 

A lot haha

GM alternator is one, frame plates, shock relocation and more even. He has a big list and we have a week. Just gonna hang out and work through it. Gonna be fun!

A week before I do. But he goes in the wrong direction for you..haha

 

Nice!!

Is he not going back to Seattle after he leaves you?

Although I just checked and it would add 5 hours to his drive time to go through Boise...

 

Yea has to go back to work the next week.

 

BTW Monte, I was gonna upgrade the alternator to the GM one. Would the OEM one suffice as a spare?

 

Will the GM on fit?

OEM as a spare will work to get you home. But it ain't gonna put out the power. Think your stock one is like 60-70 amps haha 80 maybe like mine. But yea I wired up mine so if it dies I can swap in the stock one pretty easily with quick connects and I carry a stock belt still and left all the stock wiring.

 

Sounds like a PITA

 

Nah it's real easy. Didn't take my dad and I long. Few hours. To get stuff custom made like the wiring. But swapping them would take like 30 mins maybe.

 

Is the GM fairly common? I.e., could I find them pretty easily in a salvage yard if I had to? What vehicles normally come equipped with them?

 

Yea think its pretty common. I know Cadilacs had em..mid 90s

 

a guy in our vernal, utah shop said they have 6 inches and some huge flake really coming down now
