Ahhh i gotcha. Well it looks very nice, like the fenders. Hows the motor running?

notgonnamakeit · 05-24-2011, 09:58 PM

Motor is running strong, gotta change the squirters in the carb. The motor is loading up a little and do my final timing and it's ready to go. Unfortunately his project has to be put on hold. My dad was in a serious bike wreck today. He had to be lifeflighted and is ICU in critical condition so who knows when it will get done.

redneckryder84 · 05-25-2011, 08:35 AM

Sorry to her that, hope your old man is ok. Prayers go to him as a bike rider myself.

I'm very sorry to hear the news of your Dad's accident. Believe me when I say I can only hope that all turns out for the best. Prayers & good thoughts to you & your family.

302B4 · 05-25-2011, 12:35 PM

Prayers for your family, you, and your dad man. Hope everything is alright!

notgonnamakeit · 05-25-2011, 08:13 PM

Got some great news today. My dad is going to be alright, he has a long road of recovery ahead of him. They brought him out of incubation and I got to talk to him, he's in alot of pain but the first thing he asked was if I had been working in my truck. He's helped me on probably 90 percent of this truck and always dives in head first on all my projects. So the truck will be finished enough to run this weekend. I will probably only run it Saturday so I can keep in check with him, but I'll have vids and pics next week for sure.

redneckryder84 · 05-25-2011, 09:11 PM

sweet man, hope to see you there!!

After a day and a half of running, I'm all in all pleased with the outcome. My Detroit locker in the front end started slipping before we ever got it off the trailer and I broke my front driveshaft towards the end of the second day. I have a cooling issue and a couple leaks to fix. I'll be running the truck again in 2 weeks so I'm hoping to fix all the bugs in the next 2 weeks and be ready for a second run. I do see a Profab moving up my list of to-do's next winter.

mooninite1 · 05-31-2011, 06:00 PM

I agree too, but I'm probably gonna run the boggers all year and switch up this winter unless someone makes me a good deal on some 48"ish tall v-treads

jrodxj · 06-01-2011, 08:25 AM

That ford in vid 3 was built in Terra Alta bout 5 miles from my house. Jon glad your dad is doing better and that your truck is running good. Keep up the good work.

302B4 · 06-02-2011, 09:25 AM

Wish I could watch the vids at work! But it is

in the pictures.

notgonnamakeit · 07-01-2011, 07:09 AM

Well been fixing some of the little stuff in my spare time lately, making run #2 tomorrow. Tore the Detroit out of the front end and the side gears were busted out of it, so I replaced it with a new Yukon Grizzly locker. Got my front driveshaft rebuilt, installed a new alum rad, new fans, and a high flow race thermostat. Will post up pics and vids from tomorrow.

AllGoNoShow · 07-01-2011, 11:36 AM

Was your radiator clogged? How hot was it getting? I too am having cooling issues.

turboranger · 09-24-2011, 08:47 AM

Any updates on this rig?

notgonnamakeit · 09-25-2011, 10:48 AM

I run the truck 6 times this year, just havent had the time to put any more pictures and videos up. Getting ready to tear it back apart, cut the sub-frame off and drop an SCS box in it. I'm picking up a tubing bender this fall to build alot better sub frame to fit the SCS box. Got to get sway bars and bump stops on the winter too. Picked up a set of 12.4x28 R1's for it. The motor is coming out and getting built up some more, Alum heads, roller cam, bigger pistons, ect.

fordtrucknut77 · 09-25-2011, 11:07 AM

hey man thats a good looking truck, I just noticed your from wv where do you play at?

turboranger · 09-27-2011, 04:41 AM

Scs box, R1's, and mo motor. That ranger is gonna be rank!

notgonnamakeit · 10-23-2011, 10:49 AM
