Title: New, Washington addition here
Post by: Lucky Jeff on September 19, 2010, 11:16:53 pm: Hey guys/gals. Just did a quick search and found this place. I've been into the diesel scene for a while now and got in over my head with my 98 Dodge. So while that thing is down and getting a some more/new goodies. A friend of mine gave me this truck for helping him with his Dodge. She needs a bit of loving, but it's a pretty decent truck and should be fun to tinker with in the mean time. Plus I kind of missed the sound of a gasser with some flowmasters behind it. I'm sure I can find some good ideas and places to buy from around here ;D. Try to be nice to me. It's been a while since I've messed with anything that had spark plugs! lol
Here's a pic of the Chevy, and of my money pit.

Post by: Lucky Jeff on September 26, 2010, 11:08:06 am: Thanks guys ;D. Not sure what kind of wheel they are, all I know is they are a pain to clean! And they are 17's.

I won't be doing too much to the truck. The motor is a fresh rebuild, but I don't think they did a very good job. It has a horrible vibration. But the guy that gave me the truck has a 383 that he is going to give me as well. I will just have to swap these heads over onto that shortblock. And I'm on the search for a Turbo 350 or 400 to get rid of that 4 speed. It's pretty much just a beat on truck while I dump all my money into that silver thing.

Post by: Lucky Jeff on September 26, 2010, 10:35:02 pm: Yes it is Lake Tapps. I grew up on the north end of the Lake and didn't move far when I left home. I like this area too much!

Post by: Lucky Jeff on October 01, 2010, 12:32:11 am: lol, no way!! The diesel is a lot of fun, tows like crazy and I like the sound. But I still love the exhaust note from a mildly built gasser.
