My mother has lupus! Cut her grass and got it looking like she would do it. Nice and perfect as she says. Love her smile. It lights my day up!

Got good ol sonic ready for the day! Washed the car. Hit my guy up and I get my usual. But he surprised me with something I used to do for my regulars.. Within reason of the size and how much you get each time.

I didn't have any change. He wanted $4.20 for a quarter! Lol. No change in my pocket. When i did it, i made someone do the same thing. This fool makes me go to the store and get change for a dollar. Karma he said.

Needless to say. Got a quarter for cheap. He had a good laugh and I left with a smile.

Happy 4/20

That looks real clean for the body style. What year is that? Gas, diesel?
It's kind of a Frankenstein truck, all made from other trucks. It's an 87' body and frame but it has a 351 Cleveland big block, which they stopped using in the 70's, I think. Engine only has 50,000 miles and it has posi rear end.

I have an 89' I'm switching parts out with. Here's the lift gate I'm putting on the rebuild.

351c isn't a big block. The 351/400m's are sometimes confused as big blocks, but aren't, because they have larger bellhousing pattern and a taller deck I believe. I have a few 78-79 ford pu's with the 400m, and it confused the hell out of me until I figured this all out. The 351C is a great motor, and worth some $$$$ , depending on what yr it is. I was trying to find a set of 351 2V heads for my 400m, but there worth their weight in gold, it would have been cheaper for me to rebuild and swap a junkyard 460 in then to buy, rebuild and swap heads..o_O

Good to know! I picked this truck up last year for only $1,000 for a winter project. The guy I got it from built drag tractors and only told me a little bit about it.

I've stripped it down as much as I could and wire-wheeled/sanded all the rust off the frame and replaced any metal parts that were beyond repair. Been a fun project so far.

Ya they can be fun. I'm doing a frame up build on a '96 dodge ram diesel. I'm headed out soon to start cutting steel to box the frame. It's getting a 3" lift, steel flatbed, winch bumpers, etc, etc. Should be damn near indestructible when is actually done, if its actually ever "done". Hopefully next year I can do a custom 4 link up front, I need to find an axle I like first.
