I cant win!

Check this shit out,,,Ive been doing a ton of work to my old pick-up. Since its so old I had to replace the ball joints and tie-rods. Well it ran like a champ after that but kept loosing oil pressure so I put a new oil pump in the bastard.

I thought I was on easy street after I done all that shit and then BAM. The rear gasket in the motor goes out and oil goes every where and the rods are knocking like crazy... Now I have to pull the motor, re-build the motor and then drop the motor back in the son of a bitch.

FUCK!

Man thats true. with gas at 3.50 it dont make much sense driving a 350 full sized 4wd. I know its a money pit but I love vintage shit. One good thing about it is... if i am ever in a wreck I would feel for the other vehicle I hit as long as it wasnt a semi or a train.

Whats even more fucked up is I would love to have a old mopar Cuda. The old \Mopar shit is class A but parts (if you can find them) are top dollar.

This is the perfect time to make that 350, assuming that's what you have, a 383 stroker. That's what i'm doing. There is nothing like the sound of the door slamming on an old car/truck. I miss driving my old car soooo bad.

I was checking out Shaq's car thread next door. I don't get all fuzzy inside when I see a new, badass car. But when i see a guy cruising his 55 Chevy, I get all fired up. Matter of fact, when my wife started going into labor Saturday, I was strolling a local hot rod parking lot/hang-out with my son while she waited in the car. Talk about redneck...

You need to paint that fucker green ,and convert that 350 to one of those motors that run off of old used grease from these fast food joints. You would have every head on the block chasing you around like the pied piper:D
