I like it a lot.


A stock Olds 307 does better in a truck with tall gearing than a sbc 350, been there, done that. GM had to put Peanut ports in the 454 to make it a truck motor. A 455 is a stump puller by design.
Nonsense!

Wow what a day at the beach! Of course you put to many of my family together (relaxing) and it gets extreme. For those of you who don't know the beaches are closed after labor day weekend this just means no life gard on duty anyway with the storms that have been taking place in the Atlantic ocean it's rough and there's a mean undertow so it's just wet you feet conditions well Lauren got pulled out... So I went in I thank God I saved her and I thank God for the 30 or so men that joined hands to retrieve me when I got pulled back out exhausted from getting her in. It's funny I never thought my surfing experience when I was a kid would save my daughter's life or mine this probably isn't the best place to talk about it but damn another near death for me oh well I'm going out to the driveway and spend some time with my truck wile my nerves calm down.
Glad you and your daughter are ok!

Wahoo!!! Front springs are done dude!!!!
Getting past all the red neck engineering was tough and I ended up with a black and blue foot when I cut a loaded center bolt but my homemade springs worked out good I only lost about an inch or so of hight and the spring eyes are no longer touching the frame so the suspension actually moves but it's still stiff enough to be a plow truck. I also found the cooler line leek it was just a bad hose clamp on the cooler

It seems like you can make a bunch of money having a welder on a plow truck. I know I've needed one a time or two. Hell, get one of those bigass tents and a heater to throw on there, too!
