RE-introducing myself...
 

Time to come back, take the flak I deserve, and see (well, talk to) everyone again.

I owe some folks money for those controllers I never shipped, and I know some folks paid other folks back on my behalf (like Rev for instance). Thanks for that.

I shall stand for any flaming anyone feels like and I encourage the moderators not to filter it anymore than necessary as some folks will need to vent and I deserve it anyway.

On my Cardomain site page 25 has my SAS information, and I'll post some here as well.

Nice to be here, and Merry Christmas everyone!
:biggthump

Welcome back old friend.

Welcome back Griggs!!!! we've been wondering about you lately, even though i've never really talked to you, we all believe you to be a standup, knowledgeable guy....glad to have you back, you've made some AWESOME changes to the truck, and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jooooooooooooohnnnnnn!!!!

Good to see you back, and Its good to see the truck is up and kicking strong. Next time you take a little break, dont be gone so long!

Welcome back, I'm glad to hear you back!

Truck is looking good BTW!

welcome back!

I dont think anyone is that upset about the issue. Not that I have seen.

Welcome back. BTW since you have done a SAS now you need to check out my thread and the steering shaft. Not a good idea to run the stocker.

Welcome back John. I'm looking forward to some new vids of your truck!

welcome back friend......glad to see you again.......

Griggs! Glad to have you back, we need more of the old gang (nothing against the new folks either btw).

Have a Merry Christmas! Oh, and tell us about the swap, with pics of course!

First: THANKS EVERYBODY!!! :laugh:

Okay, Zach, I'll look that up. I didn't use but a piece of the stocker. I used the 3/4" DD end that goes to the steering wheel shaft, press fit it in the u-joint from a Chevy AstroVan and then welded it, welded that ujoint to a 3/4" solid rod, which was welded to a u-joint with a 3/4"-36 spline end to go to the 1979 F-150 steering box. I call it an example of "hillbilly engineering" but it seems pretty strong (so far...)

Good to have you back John.

welcome back, i just made a post yesterday about your truck ha

Merry Christmas to you too John and Welcome Back!

We've missed you old friend! Truck's looking AWESOME!

DD? I have read this else where but I am not sure what it means.

I thought mine was fine too, then it broke. lol

Here's the truck flexing for those of you who don't go to Cardomain -- that is if we can still link from there. It's been a long time since I tried it.

DD = "Double D" -- that is, a doubly flatted round shaft that looks kind of like 2 letter D's back to back.

Well, I will definitely be thinking about that. My intent is to still use some Borgeson or Flaming River parts to make a "real" shaft -- but money was very tight so I improvised.

Nice. Welcome Back!

welcome back

John --

Welcome back! I didn't know you when you were last here (I didn't own a Ranger, then!), but I've read plenty enough here and elsewhere about you, your truck, and the long list of modifications you helped create/inspire. Glad to have you "back" on the forum.

...and, it's nice not being the only one around here that can solder worth a darn! ;)
