    the truck was freezing its ass off...

    Had a good work night on thursday. Busted the box off and had the 9" out in no time. Leafs came with it.

    Here's some good pic's our team photog. took.







    Sick torch shots of my buddy...

    As much as this sucks to say, we've decided to change gears, and choose a new base truck than the 72.

    Calm you're jets, we're just bumping up to the later 70's style, and a switch to shortbox wheelbase.

    The reasons:
    We're doing this to save time (even though its steps backwards) because of how rusted beyond repair the cab is, and a large lack of parts for early 70's trucks. We currently have a few leads on new rig's, hopefully we have one secured by friday, thats my goal. We're gonna need all hands on deck to have the new rig tore down by sunday. Crunch time.

    You thinking a '78-'79 dent-side F-series?

    Yes, or 76-79. One of those.

    Havent updated here in a while...

    Bought a new truck, and started on the bronco... pic's speak for themselves. This is where we're at right now with about 73 days left till the Crandon practice...

    Cage is coming together nicely on the stock truck, should be all welded up by this weekend.
    Still have roof, door bars and a few other here and there.





    Power washed and mounted the radiator in the rear on the bronco. The rad will have dual Taurus fans running over it.

    A few more little bar's in between the door bars, and we're mostly done with the cage. Should be fully welded up by monday.



    Highschool kid built cage, flame away...

    I'm pretty sure you need a cross bar on the back of the cage that runs shoulder height, may want to check with tech on the cage design if you haven't already.

    Yes, we know. Waiting for the seat to set height, etc for belts.
