The news is saying it's over $5 a gal. in places on West Coast. I'd like to get to Naperville Saturday, before the summer prices go up!! Its gonna play a role in where and what I do in the future. Pretty soon it'll be cheaper to fly...

How could anyone use those two words next to each other, yuck  Cole did you see that Tin Top that was at European Motors in Hiawatha last summer? Looked very clean from the road. Nice lift, wide stance 32's maybe.

Yeah I did I heard through the grape vine they wanted like $5000 for it too. Just to make you guys gealous. Mine was near mint when I got it a few years ago. It still has less than 70,000 miles. What it looks like now is a beat up old offroad truck.  |

A month or two after I bought it I made this swing out rear bumper. You can see how nice it was back then. I bought it with 56,000 miles on it and 5 years at inside storage. That was the OEM 94 white top with only one rip. All windows good and all zippers worked.  |

Notice the hood and lack of body panels. I flopped it last year.  After that I bought the tubing for a cage just can't get the time to bend it. I paid $950 for in 05 or 06 | |

Man that looks !!AWESOME!! Someday my sheet metal will be similar to that. What are the specs? Can your rockers support the truck? You know are they sliders too or just boat sided? Post anything you guys are proud of this is chit chat. Last edited by Cole82; 03-11-2008 at 08:41 PM. |

The boat sides, and rear comp cut corners are 3/16 steel. The flatties are schedule 80 poop pipe . The rear half of the frame is 2X4 3/16 tube. The shackle reversal is my own sweat and tears. 258Cid w/ FoMoCo 2 barrel. T150 3 spd, D20 T case Corp 20 rear(D44 not installed) D30(limp noodle) front axle. Need to get a D44 for the front and some 37's on all four corners.

It's got 3.73's in it now will go to 4.56 or 5.13 with the 37's. I do need a D44 front. It has to have flat top knuckles for high steer arms and would prefer it was 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern. I can change the bolt pattern easy enough though. A waggy would be a good doner. Ected or Ox locker in the front eventually, detroit rear.

Thanks Cole. The Fords have the pumpkin on the wrong side for my 5. A Chevy of the same vintage or Waggy's. Too bad the fords wouldn't work though they have the right bolt pattern. All of the outers switches over to the Chevy to give me the right pattern. Did you see my 1/8 CJ5 build?
