I hope you guys aren't sick of me posting pics but I thought I am helping to keep this thread alive.
To give you an update on my recent recue, Ol' red runs fine, shifts fine, (Thats why I bought her) but shakes like crazy. I had a thought that there might be something wrong with the drive shaft. So I did a shaft swap on the two and I found this very interesting.



This is the shaft out of the red. I noticed that there might have been a little contact to the trans support but when I took this out it was pretty obvious what was going on. The contact must have busted free the counter weight at the front of the shaft, and if you look close you will see silicone or epoxy or something. SOMEONE TRIED TO GLUE THE DRIVESHAFT BACK TOGETHER!
So after I swapped the shafts ol' red was as smooth as silk (go figure)

 

Hey John, No photoshop here.

What are you looking at?

Hows the Member's Mark tires on the Yoda

 

Everyone knows to use Gorilla drive shaft glue. They must have used Elmer's or something. Glad to hear you got her smoothed out. When are you gonna have her on the road?

I saw some reproduction 10th generation HD wheels for our trucks. I think they look killer on the hd's and lowered trucks but not sure how they would look on a 4x. http://www.americantrucks.com/f150-wheels-0408.html

 

John, you can get them here a lot cheaper.

EDIT nevermind, just saw the 135 dollar shipping, add that to the cost of the wheels and your link is cheaper. If you want the 22" harley wheels, just search ebay under F150 harley wheels

 

Thanks Mike, saw that too. W/the shipping they're a little more on the e-bay link. Have you ever seen these wheels on our generation truck?

How ya' feelin'? Heard you had to have some work done on the ole' bod'.

 

No, I haven't seen them on the NBS trucks. Yeah, I'm actually going in Wed. the 21st. It took me 10 months to get to this point, insurance and all.

 

John, I thought you might go the lifted route some day? I'm not sure those wheels would provide enough back spacing to look right. Unless you just keep the leveled look that would be cool.

 

Who knows. One day I want to jack her up then the next day I just want to leave her the way she is. Although when I see trucks like yours I'm like "I definitely got to lift this thing"

 

Hmm....what do we have here

 

Nice!



What shipping company delivers on Sunday morning?

 

Wadsville's one day behind you big city folk

 

Sounds more like your one day behind, it was probably sitting at your front door since yesterday and you just found it today.

 

Who wants more pictures? (I can almost here you guys yelling NO!)





Thanks Justin!

 

Something like that



I hope that little Ranger didn't have to go to far with that load

 

I just have to bust through the trees with her, so I loaded up my trailer, pulled it out and parked it, then we loaded up justins. Why scratch up the nice f150s when you have a Ranger as a yard tractor.
