new goodies

Well I finally got to get better my ***** a little, yesterday she got a new front hitch and a "new" wind deflector. Also the hydroboost got replaced, another $20 j/y module but this one ain't leaking in the cab like the old one Pics:







And for yer enjoyment here are two nicer shots of my V8s:





The hitch is supposed to hold up to 7000lbs, tho ball itself is only rated at 3500lbs. Got the hitch brand new for $45 from a friend who sold his full-size Blazer long long ago.

Also tomorrow or Tuesday I'm getting my exhaust parts delivered, so by the end of the week I may actually see gas mileage better than 5mpg, lol

The Lincoln? That car is anything but a family truckster, it may not be too good at accelerating (for now ) but handling-wise it can kill a stock Mustang or Camaro any day - don't even remember how many times I've flown in a tight 35mph turn at over 55mph while passing someone who's already about to fly out Too bad it's down for a brake line replacement now, weather is perfect fro cruising and messing with ricers.

Re: new goodies

Knightlife, click on the "Hillbilly Deluxe" link in my sig, plenty of TC pics there (alternatively "Mini-Monster" link takes you to truck page, nothing too special there, yet). About that cloudy ride, it's real nice for the freeway, but try changing lanes at freeways speed and yer hair turns gray from the experience

Re: new goodies

back on topic, truck just got its new exhaust today, I dumped the 2.25x12" dumps that used to live right behind the headers in favor of Headman Hedders S-bent extensions, 18" straight pipes, and a pair of Summit Super-Turbo mufflers - think it turned out nice, sounds good and saves my ear-drums, just need some tips or turndowns. Pics tomorrow.
