Title: New guy from Wisconsin...
Post by: -stew- on February 27, 2010, 03:00:39 AM

Greetings from Milwaukee, I'm Stew.   In the past I've has a '79 Dodge Power Wagon (1/2 ton, 360, auto, full time 4wd, short box, 31's,) and a 1988 F150 (4x4, 351W C6, short box, dual shocks, sway bars, stupid fast and obnoxious loud.)  I grew up in an '87 Suburban.  Spent a lot of time in that truck as a kid and drove it a lot the first few years I had a license.  I recently sold my 2000  2wd, 4cyl auto S10 for more house buyin' money, and got into this dirt cheap.  It's gonna suck feeding it, but it's awesome to have a daily that falls into the "toy" category.  It feels soooo good to be rolling around in an old school truck again. This truck is an '86 3/4 ton, 350, auto, headers, Eddy intake and truck avenger 550 (I think,) and junky homemade duals.  No big plans for it (yet) other than proper dual exhaust and working out the bugs that have developed while it sat for the last 6 years.

Menomonee Falls ain't the north side, it's the burbs!  ;D  I grew up on the north side and used to be in the falls a lot.  Now I'm onthe south side and you couldn't pay me to live back on the north side! 

Yeah, the bungee cord is (was) holding the door closed.  The truck sat for six or seven years, so when I opened the door the latch stuck and it wouldn't close.  Had to take the door panel off and repair the latch.

Go blue?!?!?!?!?!
