Let the destruction begin...Sorta

What year did they classify it as? 79? I never had cats on my 78 and my 76 doesn't have them either.

Ya 79 K-10, I had my brother who is a certified Safety guy pull up the requirements, says it has to have cats, so I took it down to my "buddy" that does safety, and he said he could fudge everything but the missing cats.

Oh well, I can get the temps for EJS, then I wanted to redo the exhaust anyway, put on some flowmasters instead of the rotted glass packs.

Its crunch time! leavin wednesday for moab, here''s some pics of the latest happenings.

Got the stereo system installed and wired, just need to put the sub in the box.

fuel tank is on, just need to run the new fuel line and remove the old tank.

And here are some pics of the new lights, the front rock lights are mounted on the inside of the fenders. Rears are mounted to the bottom side of the flat bed.

Still need to install the CB, and work out a few final details and should be ready to hit the trail.

And just thought I would share a couple pics of our "shop" cars.

The 57 has a 383 stroker with Muncie 4 speed and 4.11's. Tops out at 90 mph, but gets there pdq.

The 69 Stingray has a 427,

Just thought I would share a couple pics of the truck from EJS. I was very impressed at how well it did. Climbed everything I wanted to. The only breakdown was the mechanical fuel pump on Gold Bar, installed the electric I had with me and away I went. Also threw in a pic of my boy, he was grandads side kick on his first trailride. also my brothers ford making it up wipe out hill, double whammy, and psh.

I thought you said your truck climbed some stuff. Looks like all the pics are of it going down stuff. Wish I could have been out there with you guys.

Thanks for not posting pics of my carnage on PSH.

Crap. Now the secrets out.

Good to have you all down there.

well when you have to get out and take most of your own pics, its easier to do on the downhill.

I forgot to mention how you tried to roll your xj on psh, broke off a flare and destroyed a yoke and the steering.

I don't have any of the carnage pics though, just pics of you not making it up PSH.

Just realized I never updated this, the plate are on, now working on doing some repairs, upgrading the steering linkage, strengthening the frame, picked up some doors, mirrors, lots of little details. OH, and I got the but ugly redneck, stupid a$$ mud flaps on there, any smaller and it won't be legal.
