That would be all for now.  I did a compression check recently on my truck all the cylinders are reading around 165 - 170 except for one which is reading around 120.  I guess I will be tearing the motor down soon.   

[sckid831]

this thing is sick along with your truck i got a 78 shortbed that im converting is there a build on this one?

[topar]

No build on Zacs truck.  He took everything off of his early 80's truck & put it on this one.  I have a small amount of info on his brown truck earlier in this thread not sure what is in it though you can go back & see if you want.  Yes he is part of my Smurf Army! 

[sckid831]

did he use the stock frame for that truck or did he use the early 80's frame

[topar]

Not sure I will ask for you in the next couple of days.

[topar]

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!  I had surgery torn tindons on right foot about 2 weeks before Christmas then got blood clots in both lungs and had to be transported to the hospital 6am Christmas morning where I spent the next 4 days.  Very Happy it is 2012 now.  Hope everyone has a great year!

Finally ordered the adaptor I need from advanced adapters to fix this truck, oh along with an Atlas for my Dodge   

[*** YELLER ***]

yer still around

[topar]

I am still alive     Although I was in the hospital twice these year both times they said if I wasn't so damn big I would have been dead.  So yeah for 6'5" & 270lbs!  I have not been on here in forever cause I had no money to fix trucks & this forum just makes me want to work on mine, but now its on like Donkey Kong!  Ordered a Atlas for my Dodge (T Case blew apart on me)  that's going to take 8 weeks before they even start to build it.  Had to order the parts to fix the Toyota since I need a truck to drive till Dodge is done!     So now my exo Toyota is going to be a DD  the folks in this uppity town I live in are going to be scared as hell!   

[topar]

They will be building my adapter on the 7th!   

[topar]

Got a box from Advanced Adapters today!   

[*** YELLER ***]

seriously yer still here good to hear yer doing good buddy

[topar]

Got the new adapter & new mount on however now I have to make a new cross member.  Ah the delays.       Should be done this week.

[topar]

Well I got it to move from the side of the house to the trailer.  Sounds like one of the pistons is broken & it will not stay in gear damn POS!  I am so ready to sell this truck!!

[topar]

Ok, maybe not a piston thinking its a cracked flywheel, However after a compression check I am going to need to rebuild the engine as well.         

[topar]

Anyone care to explain to me why I did not leave the toy drive train in it?

[twistedtoy92]

Most likely for the actual power of a v8 sometimes custom is a big PITA!

[topar]

On a good note got a email from Advanced Adapters today.  The Atlas for my Dodge will be here Weds the 17th
