Nah :lol: I'm quite tired of spending money. It's sitting slightly down hill in that pic. The bumper is really close to the same height as a 4x4 2500HD, so I think the springs aren't that worn.

My passenger side was my practice side :lol: For many reasons ;)

Today the patched-in wheel arch popped out after a bale of hay bounced off the ground and hit it. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

However, this is an on-going learning experience. I did not weld on that side at all since it was bound to be the bad side from the get-go. I did the passenger side first on every new experience so I didn't have to look at it every day. :lol: The directions on the glue said don't weld, so I didn't. :roll: I sure as hell welded the other side since that was the side where I used my own reasoning. Anyways, I now don't trust glue. I would have been more PO'd if a cow had rubbed against it in late November and I would have had to look at a mangled bedside all winter. There's a plus side to everything.

I'll stick it back together tomorrow and do some unplanned painting this weekend.

Warning to all other shade tree mechanics out there- fender glue is not farm tough!

Caleb, you wouldn't have these problems if you'd just put a nice flatbed on it. ;) :lol:

Every day I wish for a better transmission. My 727 is heading south at a high rate of speed. Like warp speed. However both 518s that I have spoken for are in other people's hands still, so I'm practicing some patience :lol: You can't rush a good deal ;)

Well I appreciate the invite guys, but I'm not...uhhhh....well the politically correct way to say it would be "I'm not living the alternative lifestyle" :mrgreen: :lol:

You know what? There's nothing "alternative lifestyle" about driving a green flatbed with twin turbos. You're letting Levis' rumors twisting his dirty sex life to ours get to you. :roll:

:puker:


I'm not sure which Levi likes better; fat chicks or dudes. :scratch:
I guess he's happy he doesn't have to choose. :yuck:



Too bad ya don't want to join the twin turbo flatbed club though. Only the coolest kids run that combo. :mrgreen:

You've seen all the crap I always carry around in my bed. I like putting the tailgate up (that shuts flawlessly btw :mrgreen:) and not worrying that everything is going to fall out.

There will come a time when I look towards twins, but that'll be after I build a transmission. It's one thing after another after another after another :roll:
