project tribute

Ouch sorry you got hit, I would say it's savable. Was it a hit and run?

no it wanst a hit and run, dude was too drunk to run and it happened at my dads where i left it due to a dead inspection. the only thing that worries me other than the fact that this shit keeps happening is the creases right where the body line is and the dent under the tail light. i got most of the dent out but it still looks really shitty. and theres little mountains where i f@#!ed up using a board to try and jam it back off the back of the frame. and most of the other metal is all wavy now so im pretty upset being this truck was alot better looking than my first vehicle wich was also a b

oh and the dumbass dont have insurance so i could report it but im not gunna cause his parents would be the ones paying and theyve payed enough for all his mistakes so it not worth it to me to watch them deal with somthin he did.
he was a drinkin buddy of mine and i guess it went downhill after he got a bottle of vodka for xmas. happy f@#kn new year to me!! lol

Yeah, it doesn't sound like he's much of a buddy if he won't take responsibility.

You can also replace just the bedside, that way you wouldn't have to buy a whole bed. I don't know how comfortable you are with welding/metal shaping but you may need to take it to someone.

I know parts for these trucks are rare after the cash for clunkers program. You still may be able to find a cheap bed.

i know where a few are, and i have a welder but have never welded and i need a damn plug in outlet that will fit if i wanna learn. i have thought about that tho.

il probly just beat on it a little more n just leave it for now. i got it pushed all the way back out it just looks crappy. i just have too much else to do to get it inspected and cant afford to have it off the road too long. im hopin when taxes come in ill have enough for a cheap p.o.s. to drive around so i can take old faithfull off the road and get the head job and rings done and finish the exhaust n what not

gotta question fellers. so im sittn here at work and i was thinking about when i changed my plugs the other day. my old ones were contaminated with a brown residue. or however u spell it. and i was just wondering would it be more likely because of burning oil (normally leaves a black soot i thought) or a rich fuel/air ratio. (caused by limp mode, cogged jets or whatever the reason could be.) just curious, not too urgent i just get bored and think alot at work and its been one of my lil issues for a while now.

sup fellers. havent done anything to the truck lately till last night. lota stuff goin on. saving $ to move and repairing my apartment has kept me away from the truck for about a week. i finally went to dads where it was parked and tinkered with her. well she been idolin funny since i goter and last night, i did somthing i was afraid to do. i tinkered with my fuel/air screw. lol it was turned all the way clockwise. motors sittn there barely running and shakin around n what not, as soon as i started backing that screw out, i could here the vacume advance, she started revn higher n smoother. backed it out about a turn n a half maybe, just to where the rpms quit risn. i swear as many times as ive said i think i fixed it, i think i really did this time. lol. it hasnt idoled that smooth since ive had it. and i had a tini bit more ass behind the rear wheels too. no hesitations or anything. man what a good feelin when things wrk out.

and the latest.......

i get really bored at work.
