Eh I bet it’s weight is right around 6400 tops. Buddy I used to truck pull with in the gas class had a mid 70s 460 ford 350 4x4 on 39s. His weighed less than 6500.

My 99 diesel one ton 4x4 pulling truck in full trim weighed in at 7800 pounds with full tank of fuel and me in it.

My 78 3/4 dodge with the 408 weighs just over 6000

Your 99 diesel, is that a Dodge ?

@Ddaddy

Tummy and overall health much better today. After I don't know how many months, we got rain early Monday morning, and this morning too. So, the baby Dodge is wet, and I don't think it is a good day for painting. Rather warm, and muggy outside. I might work on the steering wheel instead.

I have to admit, I kind of like this better than the new cab style (front). And, I kind of like that it is a Dodge truck and not a Ram. :)

I agree. I traded that off and it’s the only vehicle that I’ve done that too and missed. Should have kept it
 
I’d like to find it and buy it back but I know it’s done been destroyed by now.
 
Hot again today. Finally got welder back in shop, only took an hour. Snap on truck pulls up, i warranty’d a box end ratchet,and the new replacement is waay beefier. I use the 7/8” for my ball joint press and u-joint press. Will be much better.

Finally got my coffee break. Next i do some welding.
 
I sold the Corvette Hardtop to a guy in South Dakota. So I wrapped it in moving blankets, and spun the vinyl on it. I'll take it to my local Fastenal later today

Did i mention there may be one of these coming my way? Guy is trailering it from his yard a couple hundred miles round trip. I pay his fuel plus a little bit. Im figuring $400. Plus its 4x4.
I have a customer looking for a diesel,12 valve to build another truck. I think he has a nice kb7 or kb9 body for it.

Here is a customized old 50s Merc at the show, like the one Richard Dreyfuss was riding in (American Graffiti) when they had him chain the axle of the cop car to the light pole.

Then they proceeded to cruise by in front those cops hanging out the window waving his arm saying: "This one is for Justice".

As the cop pulls out for the chase and tears the rear end out of the cop car.

Classic Scene . . .

George,
you should come by the old Parkway theater in Minneapolis this Thursday night. They are playing American Graffiti on the big screen. If they had better parking I would take the car.
