Glen's budget rebuild

[DanS]

Glen, as tough as you are there are limits the human body can take. For several years 'my' doctor and chiro-quack told me my back pains where my imagination only. After 4 hours under the knife I'm left with a permanent limp and re-occuring back problems. All of which that could have been avoided had I seen a 'real' Doctor immediately after my accident!!!!!!!!!!!!!   
Take the time to see real Doctors and applicable specialists, there will be nothing worse than not being able to wrench, drive or enjoy life because of an accident that was not of your fault.

oh i totally agree,  and i am seeing a  REAL doctor tomorrow  if i can get past his receptionist  that demands  $43  up front,  but  i THINK  i have that covered,    just  dont know  if i'll have it in my hands  in time  if not  i'll just kick and scream  till they let me see him or i get throwed out 


my Dad  went for years with chest pain  because his regular doctor  said"well your old"  i took him to see the man  im seeing tomorrow  and  he said "you have a heart valve  problem"   2 weeks later  he had  seen a cardiologist, and was in surgery.


of course  little did we know  he would be allergic  to that drug  and  later die,  but that wasnt the doctors fault,  i truely believe  they did there best  and dont hold it against them,  in fact  i feel   some comfort  in seeing Dad's doctors  since they kinda know what to look for

the neck  is  ok,   nothing damaged besides soft tissue,  will get better with time  and therapy  but  will never be the same,

[79coyotefrg]

Infernal   you better get out here  in the spring

[4inchToyotas]

is it done yet

haha classic.

Looks like this thread needs to be retitled "Glen's no-so budget re-rebuild"

i was able to look over the donor truck  good today,  i think i'll need  to pull the wireing harness out  and use my harness

the previous  owner  of the donor  truck  had  spliced it to pieces 

[79coyotefrg]

and thats gonna be a  job  in itself

[79coyotefrg]

well you've heard all the BAD  news,  now  for some good stuff 

why he didnt want me to say who it was openly i dont know  but  SOMEONE thats a very sweet  dude,      sent me  a complete  Allpro hysteer kit  and some  5 inch front springs,  the springs havent got here yet but im hoping i can pull a leaf out  to bring them down a tad,  not sure my short, fat, crippled   could get in the truck with 5 inch springs    but  if  it looks like the  integrity of the springs will suffer if i remove a leaf  i'll  just leav the body lift off  and  figure out what radiator to use later


  i was running a v6 radiator  that required 2 inch body lift 

[MiniSimp]

Keep it low, no body lift, get a different radiator. 5" will be huge! NICE SCORE!
Just mount the front the same way the MC FToy is done and you'll be fine.
And send that dude some beer!

[oddball]

Thats awsome, my hat goes off to the mystery parts donater, a true standup person

so what you think  the  turbo  radiator   whats Marlin run  ??  seems like he has the early diesel radiator 

[THK Matt]

the turbo is a 3row
run that =P

[Cheesemaker]

Run that turbo radiator!  If not, call Mark!! 

I tried to get a turbo rad for mine, but the company I got mine from sold me one that was too tall, and I didn't want to modify anything to make one fit!  So, I got the regular stock one for now, until I can find a turbo one! 

[79coyotefrg]

thanks Ryan,  i'll try the  turbo radiator,  i know the V6 radiator  HAS  to have the body lift to work  and  the springs arrived this afternoon, 

i looked them over  i think i can remove a leaf  and be okay

i know my radiator  looks  like , well  it aint gonna work

[topar]

Sounds Like Peps hooked you up like he did me and my brother gotta like the guy    If it was him 

[THK Matt]

try that turbo rad and let me know how you like it.

[79coyotefrg]

[sinbob]

hey Glen tks for ur input today......and I don't know if this helps but I was lookin at my wifey's 97 camrey and she has a sweet radiator set up in it long, not to high with a dual fan setup.  anyway I almost didn't get out of there with my life when she found me measuring it to see if it would fit in my toy.  I will check it out and let u know when I can get her calmed down enough to let me back under her hood...car that is...lolol
take care.

[4inchToyotas]
