How was the trip to KC? Where are the pics!

6BT 56 · 09-29-2013, 09:49 PM

Hey Ryan. Truck is sure looking sharp. Hows it running ? Do you know how I move my build thread or who I ask to move it over here. I seem to be spending most of my time here checking out what everyone is up to. I took my 56 to the pull last nite . Had a ton of fun. Going to put a update now. Not too many people on the 55 to 59 side into this kind of thing tho .

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-02-2013, 07:49 PM

PM a moderator and have them move it for you. Oh no, you went to a pull? That was a bad idea. That's a bad bug to get.

Ya the pull was lots of fun . Looking forward to twaeaking the truck this winter and going back next year , Actually we have 3 pulls al within 20 min of here . Should be fun .

Do you know how I go abt finding out who is a moderator ?

The easiest to see what mod is online is to go to the bottom of the main forum page where it lists all the members online and click on a RED name and PM them.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-08-2013, 06:25 PM

Sorry, I haven't gotten around to adding pics to this thread. Photobucket is being a real PITA lately! Here are some pics of it in KC and just some of it. I'll post up pics from the show as I get them resized.

hgs_notes · 10-09-2013, 07:09 AM

That's no SHOW truck?! It should be hooked up to 1 or more of those other trucks and dragging them around like a waterskier.

watahyahknow · 10-09-2013, 07:33 AM

it might be the fact youre using a little too mush bandwith on photobucket , it could be solved if you oprn up a second accound under a different name and email adress so the load gets shared between the two

mcbassin · 10-09-2013, 08:38 AM

Looking good Ryan!

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-10-2013, 08:40 PM

I stole the wheels off this truck to put on my 95 F-350 and put my old 16.5's on this truck. Now I have to start thinking about building something to store it in for winter as it won't be residing in the shop full time.

The living room isn't big enough?

litew8 · 10-11-2013, 12:35 AM

Sits real nice

watahyahknow · 10-11-2013, 01:15 AM

better make provisions for the smoke when building the storage like a small extractor fan right about where the exaust is or you have to enter the space wearing a boilersuit over time

If I could park a truck in my living room I'd do it and probably be in divorce court.

Smoke, first this thing would have to smoke.

It hazes a little bit but isn't bad.

watahyahknow · 10-11-2013, 04:57 PM

my guess is that will change when it gets colder outside
i know my stock mercedes diesel used to soot up the garage in the wintertime

ryanroo · 10-11-2013, 07:50 PM

those wheels look pretty good man! i do notice the rear bumper looks a little off....

litew8 · 10-11-2013, 09:32 PM

Ryan's got the right idea, don't use the road

Yeah, it's still sitting on the floor. I haven't decided how I want to mount that thing yet. :LOL: Plus then it might rust too. Don't want that!

Don't want to get it dirty.

When I was going down the drive way my UPS gay came up so I got out of his way and we started BS'n so I just left it there to snap some quick pics. It might be the last time for a while it can be photographed before it comes apart for the next stage.......................

Crew cab?

ryanroo · 10-13-2013, 08:28 PM

he may be alluding to some suspension mods that could require a cab removal
