Title: New guy from Alabama
Post by: tex62 on July 02, 2013, 02:07:09 pm: I have been lurking all over this site figured I would go ahead and post my junk up. 87 burb 350 700r4 combo. Working on spraying down with plastidip as a cheap cover up to keep it from rusting.

Here it is when I got it.

didn't know these trucks have hyper speed ? it is sort of like hyperdrive from star wars but it is a lot different. slower for one and without the pretty lights. the miles just seem to turn faster ;)

Post by: Tx_Phil on July 11, 2013, 06:05:55 pm: Reminds me of one time when I was working transmission line construction. We had to cross about 4 miles of plowed cotton field in a rain storm. My old bronco clocked about 15 miles in the 4 mile stretch. There was a lot of mud flying that day. Didn't get stuck but it was mighty close a few times.

Post by: tex62 on October 12, 2013, 11:07:42 am: Sorry man just got back on line. I think I used 12 cans. Cost me about 110 bucks or so.
