New guy from Wisconsin...
« 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.



1986 K20: MT/R's and a dead possum under it.
1990 Mustang LX: Lil of this and that, and a whole lotta clapped out.
1986 Mercury Capri ASC McLaren Eurocoupe: One of eleven. Currently in a whole lotta pieces.
1999 Kawasaki ZRX1100: Whole lotta hustle.
