I cut the drip tray off my gfs dads 87 van because it started this

 

the 82 before the scrap yard

 

Yeah, my 76 is trying to do it too.



And you guys are so damn picky about my choice of descriptive words.

 

day i bought it, had a death wobble at 30mph and one tire had an air bubble from one side to the other. that was a few months ago, ill post one or two from day to day to show what ive done, what my gf's done to it and how it looks now

 

looks good I love the reg cab short box 2nd gens

 

here is another from the day i bought what we now call bart

 

this was a few months ago. ive had this truck almost a year and still has never been washed.




this is when the first two tires were replaced. km2's 35x12.5r15.


and ill post more tomorrow!

 

got some goodies for it that I forgot to share on this forum.





115# valve springs



Cummins valve spring compressor tool




And last but not least: Manton Racing custom made HD push rods.

may sound super spendy, but I actually only paid about $300 for all 3 combined.

Having push rods custom made is actually about $70 cheaper than pre-made push rods sitting on a shelf.

and the springs with a little research in size, installed height, seat pressure, and spring rate, can be had for about $200-300 cheaper than you can buy them off the shelf for "application specific" springs.. doing your homework can save you a lot of money The valve springs original application was for a dodge neon but they just so happen to fit a cummins and have the right spring pressure to be a great upgrade for either turning higher than redline RPM's, or for running boost over 50psi.

maybe I'll start a build thread on here for once... cummins forum got my last build thread when I did the twins, head studs, powder coating, clutch, exhaust, etc..

 

So, those mighty springs for your souped up Cummins were originally for a Dodge Neon?

 

I've never washed mine in the 2 and half years I've had it either. I took household hose to it one time, but I found out that it doesn't really work the same a pressure washer. Maybe one of these days I'll go thru the wash.
