Ya got me beat, I still can't figure out how to post pics...

Your truck is looking good!!

va_tlc · 10-06-2008, 10:36 PM

stocker, do ya have photobucket account? its free and fairly easy to use, try it works pretty good, thanks alot. i have to take my driveshaft to a shop to see if they can fix it or build a new one.its never ends lol

**Stocker** · 10-06-2008, 11:15 PM

I do... and I have forgotten how to use it. Right now I can't even figure out how to get pics from the camera to the computer, let alone how to use photobucket.

Figuring out the basics is on my 'to-do' list.

**special-K** · 10-10-2008, 08:56 AM

That`ll be nice with the driveshaft tightened up.

72BlckButy · 10-10-2008, 09:10 AM

Wow... that looks good!

Makes me want to find a nice 4x4....

va_tlc · 10-10-2008, 06:30 PM

well driveshaft was woreout, and the tube was twisted!!! someone had already cut it down and the weld looked kinda ruff, so they built a whole new shaft, plus the slip yoke for 200$$ ouchie..

72 CustomCamper · 10-11-2008, 12:07 AM

A buddy of mine just had one made for his Mustang. All he has was the slip yoke. Cost him $350...
