My buddies camp fire story was that I hit it doing 40 mph. Kind of got me thinking that if I had actually hit it at 40 and stayed on the gas, I could have possibly just jumped all the way to the next dune. My wife even said it was pretty weak, but she did ride with me in my old Toyota that could take a healthy romp.

Been tossing around ideas lately. I'm thinking about doing a smog (I'm due up) and then ditching my egr/smog components. I have a smog and registration connection, as well as friends and family in Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon. I'm pretty much set as far as that goes. ABS is also definitely coming off.

Down the road, I'm thinking that along with the C6 & 9 inch I have, a simplified harness & a carb might be in my future. I'm all about simplicity in the dirt.

Let me know if you are interested in a 4.56 geared 9" diff and all the stuff to swap in a full reverse manual valve body C6 including a cooler, the shifter, trans, temp gauge, etc. basically everything to get it together!

New beams are under construction, can't wait to get it back on its feet. Kind of looking down the road at rear suspension. I don't think shocks under the floor are going to cut it!

Thanks, I've always liked Sway Aways, this is about the 6th set I've owned.

I'm sure you hate to hear this question, but is there a good solution for the older shocks with rust?

Just let them leak......haha I had to.
I am happy with my old swayaways/kusters and I recommend them to my customers.

We just replated a set for the Shirley's (they were racing at king of the hammers) but otherwise scotchbrite and wd40. That's the problem with trying different plates and companies is you never quite know what's gonna happen with corrosion

Truck has been collecting dust for too long. Looking like a Threat kit is going to go on the front. Anyone interested in some Camburg radius arms?

I just don't have the time. Too busy with other people's trucks I guess.
