Thats across the street at the neighbors...

 

Great. Thanks for asking

 

Yeah I'd like to see some pics of both of your trucks together

 

Yeah, they sure are ... If my blue Ranger had a 4.0 SOHC in it, I'd sell the black one in a heart beat.

I was actually gonna do that today, but blackie needs to be washed. I'll take some pics of them togther after I pull the black one out of the barn and wash it.

 

Yeah, It was fun ... I've actually met 4 of the members on here now, so hopefully my creeper status has changed ... lol

 

three being this weekend and one being me?

 

Brian, how is that ohc working for you?

 

Sure, you betcha ...
Here's a picture of my tailgate after I got the emblems on ... Chris(Vista4.0) helped me out with this one by sending me the right measurements.

 

Well, I met John back in January and I met Chris and Brian(Auto) this weekend.
And yes, you're one of the four, you're actually the only one on here that I've met from Kentucky. There's not really any Kentucky meets or atleast none that I know of anyway.
I think most people from KY meet in Knoxville or Indianapolis.

 

im going to work on getting something together this summer. cross your fingers.

 

It's workin out great ... It has a little too much power for me though. I think I'll put a smaller cam in it.

 

Oh cool, that would be great *crosses fingers*

Emblems look great Brian. Glad you made it home alright

 

hahaha, i was talkin about the expy over head console

 

I like the emblems Brian, they look good! Nice pics.

 

Truck looks great

 

Thanks, It wouldn't have been possible without wvcat though

LOL ... I get OHC and OHV mixed up all the time.
The Over Head Console is is workin great, having that and the dome light with 2 bulbs really lights up the inside of the cab.

Thanks ... I was worried about getting the blue oval centered just right, but I think I got it.

 

Thanks ... Now that you're finished with my truck are you going to write a final conclusion?
(ie ... I'm glad that GD truck is outa my garage now)

 

Looks good. So you put a cam in the old 3.0?

 

Thanks
It still has the stock cam. I was just kidding about it having too much power and putting a smaller cam in there. It's very weak, but I just need to have a lot of patience and just realize that it's going to take about 45 second to reach 55 MPH.

 

lol the 3.0 isn't that slow

 

I think mine is ... It has a 3:55 rear end. It's good for driving on the interstate though.
2700 RPMs at 80 MPH

 

My 98 has 3.73's and it has plenty of power to get around. Had 4.10's in the 04 I had and it had plenty of power with 33's.

 

Well I can... I'm glad that GD truck is outa my garage now!...lol JK

It was a nice project. One of the best things about what I do is the accomplishment gained by all the work. With this truck it really shows because of the dramatic improvement in appearance. It took a long time to do but it was a major project. Mostly bodywork but some wiring and interior work also. Not to mention Brian did a good bit of work before he brought it up. He had already did the frame swap and replace the core support and some of the wiring. All in all it one nice little truck and it can't really be valued as a 99 even though thats what the title is. Enjoy the truck Brian! Now I have to jump into something else...

 

Vacation is over! Get back to work. Time to get the assembly line moving again haha.
