it would take the extra 100 to drive there... thats about 2.5 hours away from me

 

its a little light of a pic, but you guys can see, but i figured i would show you guys some pics of this flexed the hell out... i have to lossen p the rear a bit, but the front is great...

 

Yeah, I'm talking about LKQ in Clayton. Its been a couple months since I was out there, but last time I was there I could have picked out 3 or 4 NP231Ds! And the final cost would be something like $115 after taxes and fees.

 

well the one im probably getting is 300...

 

Gotcha. Thats probably for the better anyways. You never really can be sure what your getting out there and it would be a real PITA to pull a transfer case since you aren't allowed to take a jack into the yard, and then have it end up being bad. Although rebuilding them is easy, but you'd be back around that $300 mark when your done.

I was actually just there today though and they had a handful of Rams, but I didn't get under any of them to see if they had transfer cases.

On an unrelated note, my SAS came to a screeching halt a few days ago. The whole reason I wanted to use a late '70s ford axle with radius arms is because I've seen it done twice on other gen 1 dakotas and I had found one for cheap. Well apparently there is something different between my '76 axle and the '79 axles the other two people used, cause the distance between the radius arm brackets on mine is 4 inches narrower than the frame rails!!!! So I went back to the drawing board and decided I'm going with a 3 link front. But I left the front alone for now and I'm working on getting the 14 bolt in the rear. When that's in I'll get back to the front.

The bad part is, I'm going to be pressed to have it finished and functional for the meet in April. I'll try to get it done though!

 

yea, it is really bad cause unfortuneatly, i dont think ill be able to go... i have a transfer case to buy, plus nother 280 to finish off my trans bill... but im trying... im just going to be broke

 

well i hate to tell you guys this but i may not be coming to the GTG, i may have to work that weekend. i'm trying to get out of it but i'm not sure yet.

 

Man, the two tallest trucks might not be able to make it and now we have a 3rd genner on the list of getting boned out of a good time at uwharrie.

318, what do you have to do to get done with the truck? If you need a hand then I could help, depending on when you're working on it. My schedule leaves a lot of days open between now and the 17th.

 

geez i hate to say it but i am not completely sure if im gonna be able to make it. it is going to depend on whether i can get the funds together or not!!

 

this really sucks, seams like everything is falling apart for the GTG
