Hansen's build thread

I heard 2 guys down here getting 306 corn in the monitor, but that's kinda like the current MPG thingies on these new trucks.

Agreed! And the moisture hasn't been so friendly around either

[Hansen01]

Our best to date is 301. dropped to 275 last year, and that field should be close to 275 this year to
any other field we average about 200 bpa,

Something i forgot about until tonight.... Early in the year when i was cleaning up some wiring on the new cab for my truck i realized that it did not have the plug for the message center. Did some of these trucks that came from the California Mexico area not have the plug or what gives?

[PToombs]

Gasser cab? Or somebody swapped in a gasser harness?

[ihredneck]

Got me, all three I've looked at have had it?

[Hansen01]

I have no idea,lol
anyone know how to tell if the cab is the from a diesel?
It had the factory cab lights and cab light holes of a diesel cab

[Hansen01]

Gasser cab? Or somebody swapped in a gasser harness?

hmm thats possible i spose, wiring looks really nice and factory like,lol
Not really a big deal, our grid heater relays are as loud as a horn Just curoius

Anything new??

[cmann250]

He's not logged on in nearly a month. I talked with him a few days ago and he's still painting it.

[DodgeFreak]

Is he painting in the barn or is someone else doing it??

[Hansen01]

Hey guys! lol Havnt gotten on much because.. well.... Not much has really happened... Its getting painted at a body shop in town, but my body guy decided to run over my perfectly strait core support a month or so ago, and now none of the body panels will even come close to lining up, soooo ive been trying to find one. I finally found one local yesterday so I gotta go tear it off so we can get back to business, srry about the horrid progress.

[dazedandconfused]

I sure as hell hope he is paying for all the parts and time to fix his screw up.

[Hansen01]

Il make him pay for his own labor to take my fenders back off and re-align them with the new support, and the paint to redo it. The support didnt cost me anything except some time, traded the support for some labor. i just gotta take a cab off of a 1990 dodge for a buddy. Hour of my time and should easy have it off and set on another frame. i would take it to another body shop but sinse were friends and what not the price is just unbeatable.

[dazedandconfused]

Friends or not he would still be buying the core support if that was me. I've been in those types of situations where I screwed up a part and I paid to replace it.

[Hansen01]

If it was gonna cost me for the support i would refuse, but its free, i already told him i wasnt gonna pay for the extra labor and paint. Was getting worried, thought i was gonna have to buy another truck just for the support.lol, Would only be the third truck i bought for parts, whats another
