TOO LATE!
Ive been spamming noahs Inbox for two weeks now with this thing. Its mine %&@%$&$ Back off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That and I already got Noah to go get it for me :headbang:
Hello New Tow Rig!!!!!!!!!!!!1
No wonder Noah hasn't answered my pm. Dang it , I was gonna go see it this weekend if he still had it. I was looking for a big block truck that I could drop my shit in and go. Well if its still there on Saturday..... :violent-smiley-007: too bad too sad
Ha ha... Must still be there. Pete just sent me directions to his place. Looks like I'm gonna be on a Lil road trip Saturday. :steeringwheel:

Driftwood is 15 minutes from Noah's House. I think He will beat you!!
I am headed that way today :steeringwheel:
Ha ha... I talked to Pete last night. He is the original owner. Nice guy but the truck only has a 318. Sounds like a fairly easy fix too. I told him I knew you guys were coming out and we had a laugh about that. I saw how close it was to San Marcos and was actually trying to get ahold of Noah to see about taking it to his place. Its just too good of a deal to pass up you know. Good luck with it Eric. :13:

Thanks Richard, Its going to be another Fun Troxell Automotive project. So its in good hands. As soon as we get the last bit buttoned up on the Ramcharger ( its getting new suspension... Again). Then I will move on to that.
What all kind of big block stuff are you looking for? We might be able to help you out if your looking for parts. We can defiantly help you with Small Block parts, We are up to are Asses in Small blocks!!

Here is another good deal for a truck with 60's! I may snag this up too if no one else does

Nice but a Lil more than the budget calls for. Doesn't mention title either which is a biggie. Thinking about going all Dodge and getting rod of my daily driver, Toyota Matrix.
As far as big block specific, power steering bracket is elusive. Thinking about a Cummins radiator since they are a dime a dozen and big block Mopar ones are $300-500. Any thoughts on this?

It's an interesting truck, but living in TX, I'd wanna make sure that a/c is ARCTIC cold first!
I was born in '67 - POST baby boom. Like all of us born after '64, I have the freon gene. When it's over 70o, and I'm OUT of the presence of freon, I start getting the DT's!!! :o
Since 70* is winter :laughing7: we don't consider it hot until it hits 90* or more. :sunny:

I will dig through my BB parts and look through Noah's and see if we can turn up with something. I will keep you informed. As far as radiators, any good 3-4 core radiator should work fine. I have a bunch of used radiator of different sizes that your more then willing to take off my hands. Also if you have a 3-4 core radiator you could always have it recored for a lot let cost then buying a new one. I don;t thing cummins radiators are that big.

Yeah I just hate paying $75 for a $10 part. I'm just hoping that by the time mine is ready to roll, one will come knocking on the door. Let me post my address. :039:
I have a big block radiator that needed repair but come to find out that early big blocks and later big blocks have the inlet/outlets on opposite sides. What a bummer that was. Mine is a 67 block and the lower inlet needs to be on the driver side or I'll have to find a newer style water pump housing. I know I can buy a new one at full price in aluminum but then it won't be a JY dog. :laughing7:
The truck is officially at Troxell automotive :dance:
Good find. Are you gonna use those axles for your CTD swap? I know you guys only like D60s. Hint hint
