It's a great thing putting wood slats back in the bed. So many guys just wimp out and sheet it . Thank you, Chad, for giving me faith in the fellow man.
@chadsfab6 ай бұрын
I will likely have to sheet it for a bit. When I do the wood floor I'll be fixing/replacing the bedsides and painting it, but I want to drive it for awhile before I have to tear it down again

I'm old and really do appreciate the classic trucks being brought back to life. Great to see them on the road! That said I've never been into loud exhaust or burnouts. Don't care for the noise and I want the rubber on my tires not on my driveway.

THANK YOU! Finally someone that cares about wearing eye protection. I speak from experience as when I was young I used to cut aluminum on a chop saw and wasn't wearing mine. Got a sliver and it slipped to the back of my eye. I didn't know what it was until I finally saw the eye doctor and got it removed. And that was after 3 days of my eye tearing badly.

When I do the bed floor I'll also be replacing the bedsides (these are pretty beat up) and they need to be painted and... So I got come old street signs from Paul just a few weeks ago, I'll be making a temporary bed floor with those so I can continue to drive Gonzo. I love driving it and don't want it down again where I just got to get back to being in it again.

A few of the hot rod shops, when they don't have any room for mufflers, they now use fins inside the exhaust pipe to spin the air like a turbo to dampen the sound down.

It was cool seeing y'all at Paul's working on the overlander. I suggested just using a regular tent instead of attaching one to the rig. It might save you some time and I've seen plenty of overlanders use them. Gonzo sounds good just the way it is but I'm not standing there next to you.

I had a '84 Monte Carlo with a 468 BBC and a 671 on top. The exhaust was 4" pipe with a muffler just back of the headers and a 90 degree bend out the side in front of the back wheel. You couldn't even talk in the car, it was insane.
