it will be out front of my work on Sat. got the day off tomorrow so im going to see what it can do lol

 

Word. Good luck with it man.

 

hey sampson,

trucks in holbrook right now, sas is getting wrapped up at a buddies shop. should be about another 2 weeks, (its not a priority for him and i get to use a shop for free when he has time for me), but yeah once shes back on the road and eating ricers ill def send you a PM and we can meet up. just wish i had the money to do the body work on it. the old body styles were a breading ground for rust. my little 302 is to tired and underpowered to move the truck anymore. my next plan is to swap in a 468 from a 70s, lincoln mark VII, a C6 or a 5 speed. and put a sterling full floater out back and put Dana 44 HD knuckles and spindles and stuff to make the front 8lug too. ill try an figure out how to post some pics. ill be home this weekend from umass dartmouth, so ill take some pics at the shop. some day down the road ill switch the coil springs out for leafs in the front and a dana 60.



if theres any other pre97 guys out there let me know, always looking for new friends in the area.

 

Sounds badass can't wait to see this thing. Murph you still in school too? That must be your main money eater LOL

 

yeah i just started my freshman year at umass dartmouth. im going for mechanical engineering. but yeah all she does it eat up money, when i bought the truck in 08. it only had bald 33s. and a 4 inch suspension lift. i added dual shock setups and 2" coil spacers. then a 3" body lift. and the f350 leafs. then broke both radius arms at the same time and said screw the ttb im going solid axle. and the ttb destroyed both my front 35" BFG A/Ts. but either way they are too small with the sas 6" and 3"bl. thinking about getting cutout flares and 40" ground hawgs or TLS or Thornbirds. ive dropped so much money it makes me sick.

 

Gotta break things sometimes to get bigger and better things lol

 

Ya I would drop more on my but I have a truck note and insurance payment that's Just downright stupid. But I'm crankin her up to 9" with an aal and the 3" spacer I had in my truck before my Lift

 

yeah money is my enemy. and that will be nice man. hopefully ill have her running before the october 11th mudrun at the brockton fair grounds, put on by Al's Offroad. theres also a 4x4 parts swap meet sat and sunday october 3 nd 4.

 

Might swing by. You think ill be able to get thru this mud? Lol would like to get this pig dirty

 

what the current set up on your truck.. lift, tires, gears, engine mods and total hp and ft/lbs. the stock modifed class is probably where you'll be placed. and the run fr the class group is fairly easy to get through. ive seen non lifted with street tires rangers get through. as long as you have four wheel drive, youll be fine. the entry fee is 25 including your pit pass, and each additional pit pass is 15. you have to have a pit pass if you want to be in the pit area.

 

Stock 5.4 with exhaust and intake. 35 Goodyear ats 6 inch procomp and a lead foot. It's 4wd fx4. I don't know how I'd do. I think I would maybe be able to get somewhat thru. Would love the thrill of doing it

 

dude ur truck will do fine through the stock modified run. its not that deep. they put me in that class and my 5.0 torn it up. then i tried the pro mod and open mod class run and **** my pants cuz how big 44-54 inch ruts are hahah

 

i just looked up those 54 inch mudders. 199 lbs each holy $h!T thats 800 lbs for a set

 

Nick you headin up to the Bass Pro Shop cruise night this thursday? I guess its supposed to be a big one.

 

Ya trying to get out of work early to wash and wax the rig before hand. Might just have to run it thru the touchless and go lol
