I came from a ford family until I branched off and bought the dodge, First truck was an 82 F150 I got from my dads buddy with a blown 5L in it for a couple hundred. It was me and my dads bonding project.. That was what started me on engine rebuilds!!

Then I got this ugly beast off my dad when he bought an F350.. 87 F150


After I got rid of the F150 I bought an 88 Bronco because I liked how the top came off, sadly I got rid of that to, I still wish Id kept it, I rebuilt a HO 5L from a mustang for it, LTs with custom straight pipes, ditched the emissions crap, body lift, put a solid dana 44 up front and 9 inch in the rear with 4.11s... It went like crazy!

Then I bought the dodge, best truck ive owned, it just sucks when it gets scratched or dented in the bush, I wish I kept the bronco for camping trips.

The new toy is a 78 kz650 frankenstein.. I bought it in the summer as a frame with original paint, a motor and like 8 boxes of random parts.


Then I got it painted and able to roll around so I can work on it outside when the garage is full of crap..


And this last picture was taken about a month ago, since then I did all the wiring from scratch and have it running now, I just need to finish painting the gas tank and put the brakes on.. and minor things like lights.. I bought some apehangers with 16" rise I just put on it a couple nights ago but I dont have any pictures taken yet.. They look way better.. there black to match the theme of the bike. Im not a fan of chrome..


Im going to ride it next year and then when the winter rolls around again I think I might tear it back down and powdercoat the frame and make it into a hardtail. More of a showbike. Depends if I can get some money together to get an old shovelhead sometime..

Here are a few of the 20 something I have owned.
91 K5

84 Silverado

78 TA

99 XJ

04 Silverado and 80 F250

Another of the 80 F250 that is my designated river toy. Wish it was a D250 but it was given to me by my freinds parents when he was killed in a motorcycle accident so I'll never part with it.

And finally my current 08 Ram

That bike looks like its gonna be sweet........I got a 1977 440sx Stand up jetski that I found in the garbage and am going to rebuild it from ground up like you are doing. (even though it runs now). I want to put a 650 motor in it though.
Gotta love rebuilding....

I loved that cherokee, it was a 5 speed and I put on 6.5 lift with cut out flares and 33's, just to name a few of the mods, and could get 22mpg on the highway. That jeep would go through and up anything I pointed it at. It was 8 months from being payed off due to a refinance when I blew out reverse while getting out of a 4ish ft snow bank when I traded it in. I don't know what I was thinking when I got rid of it. Wish I had it along with the F250 and my Ram.
