C10 truck....

yeah, i reckon'..
as of right now i just have two 6x9s in the back seat! i think it really depends what im gonna do with the bed weather or not im going to do a blow through.

well keep us posted on what you decide and take lots of pics!

as always! theres a reason why i got rechargable lithium batteries

lol!!! That is why I charge my cameras every weekend!!!

i tell you what, when you have a digital camera there isnt a better investment that you can make. those batteries never die. and when they do you just recharge them. lol

My camera has a rechargable inside it and I just plug it in and it only takes about 30 minutes to fully charge!

ohh, i've never seen them like that.
im using external lithium batteries =P

so im kinda pondering on a box design for my truck.
im thinking of going with a single sub.
and i want it to sound really good.
i can go with a single 15" but
thats kinda drifting away from the SQ.
so im thinking a single, or two 12"s.
i have enough room for a good sized box behind the seat. for a truck anyways. im sure i could make a decent 3 cub box to fit back there. give two 12"s 1.5 cubic feet per sub. which would be sealed. which would come out good. or i could go with a single sub @ 3 cf. which would probably not be as loud but it would most likely sound better! if i made a single sub i could make it shoot through the seat in the middle n put plexi over it. and light it up or something.
but that would be kinda new school in a old truck! lol. i dont think i have enough room to make them down fire unless i went with a few 10"s. i could just make the fire fowards like traditionally.
any idea's?

I have always like the sound of two 12 set up right and I like the new school mixed with old school! I love those designs

yeah, maybe i could do something creative. i dont know. im sure ill figure something out sooner or later.

lift kit wise, im going to put a 3" lift on it. and now that i've gotten to look at pictures i dont really think 33"s are going to be big enough.
so im going to look into 35"s but im not going any bigger then that.
this is the same truck i have with no lift kit and 33" all terains. altho mud tires are wider and a lil beefier.. i think w/ the 3 inch lift it should clear the wells.

well i finally de-buged the fuel gauge problem. i just ran a new wire from the dash to the gauge.. the problem with it was it has 1 gauge. a switch and 2 tanks, which meansss 2 fuel senders. the switch activated the tank changing valve, as well as what sender was connected to the gauge. well i checked everything, bypassed the switch and still nothing. the right tank i dont use, only the left. so i just connected the driverside tank and now im happy. i also got my temp gauge working. after 30 years the wires are getting old and stiff and its really common for things like this to happen. but no biggy.

good that you know how to do all that....

Nice that you think it is all simple too! !

anythings simple once you do it enough. i've been doing this all my life so whats complex for others is simple for me!

hey why are you not trying to go to a automotive tech school?

i plan on it in the future.

how far is ur truck from being completed bro? or is it already finished......

man im lagging lol

oh its road ready right now.
but as far as us "custom" people go..
it will never be done. theres always someting more
that you can do to make it better!

Yeah they are never done. Hopefully me and DAD get alot of work done on his Dodge Dakota and to the Celica while he is home!!!


Hey DJ do you have any projects?

i dont think he does.
i've been trying to get him into bmx like me.
i have some pictures to post
i just have to hack my photobucket account because i lost the pw! this is like the 8th one! lmao.

lmao thats sad dude but congrats on getting ur truck done

it was giving me a pain in the @$$ time yesterday. wasnt hitting on a cylinder. well with all brand new wires and plugs. i know i was getting power to the plugs. and just rebuild the Q-et carb. so i know i had fuel. and its got compression.
so i figured the plug fouled out. when the truck warms up it starts to haze a little smoke out of the left side tail piope. not alot.. but just a lil. well after a month of running it, the plug got oil on it and fouled it. so either my valve seals are seapin' or i need new rings in that cylinder. i might pull the engine out when i get the jeep and rebuild the engine. the trans and the 12 bolt differential will run till the gears rust out of them unless i dont oil em or if i dont dog on them too bad ;-)

daaang that sounds like alot of work bro, and yet u still gotta buy ur tires and what not

anyway nice job grease monkey!

Michanic gots lots of things on his plate.... Uh kinda sounds like me !!!!!

they dont call me mechanic for nothin! hahaha.

nah im sure the engine has over 200 thousand miles on it so its not uncommon for rings to start to seap. after all how manny times around the world is 200 thousand miles? haha.

its runnin' like a champ now. rev'd it up a lil dumped the clutch and shot dirt all over. it doesnt even hesitate turning over the 31's. i doubt its gonna even notice when i buy the 35's. ..nah it will, just not much. that truck is geared so low. i think its running a 4.10 on the axle and ontop of that the trans geared way low.
