Don't fall off of the roof. Keep a Chimfex stick handy for the first burn just in case in the course of cleaning you expose creosote that's been hiding under soot -- it's too late to run to the hardware store once the thing's whistling.

I don't have a stove or fireplace just now, but if I did I'd pay a sweep to clean the chimney. I've never done that before, have always cleaned my own, but I never really enjoyed doing it and it just doesn't seem a thing I want to do again. After our last move when for the first time I paid others to do the heavy lifting I'm not going to do that myself again, either.

 

looks to be some dents, and dings. its a work truck, and will still be one if i take ownership.

i still plan on plowing, and doing heavy lifting with it. we plan on either buying land, or a house within the next year or 2.

 

Dang, that's cheap. That truck would go for a lot more in Missouri. My truck originally came from Vermont. That being said, I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever buy a truck from up north again.

 

rust sucks doesnt it?

 

I don't think my question needs a thread, I'm gunna buy new rims in the next month or two. I'm going to get 5 lug but down the road I'm doing the Dana 60 swap and I was wondering if there's a big issue finding 8 to 5 lug conversions? I just don't want to go and buy a new set of rims for 8 lugs.

 

Wait and buy your 8 lug rims. You'll be better off and will thanks us for telling you to wait. I'm not sure if there is a 5 to 8 lug spacer or not. I wouldn't run them in the first place but that is just me.

 

Alright thanks wildman just wondering but what's wrong with running the 5 lug? Strength issues? Also would there be any issue with the 9.25 in the rear running the 8 lugs or anything?

 

There is a 5 to 8 lug spacer/adapter. They aren't worth $200 each though, and certainly are a HUGE weakness, and will stress a 9.25 real bad. If you like the idea of rims flying off at 70MPH, go ahead. If not, avoid them like the plague

 

There are effectively no 5x5.5 to 8 lug conversion spacers. I found one company and a pair was > $200. You can buy 4 wheels for that price depending on where you look.

It's not worth the effort or money, plus the spacers push the wheels out further (minimum 3/4") for stud/nut clearance.

8 lug wheels are more plentiful, 8x6.5 that is rather than the Ford 8x170mm crap. You should post such questions in the various axle swap threads in the future.

 

Alright thanks guys for the info, I didn't think my topic needed a thread or hi jack someone else's thread. I'll keep that in mind in the future
