This page is of the other vehicles i drive & maintain that aren't featured on or have their own page/s. all the repairs and modifications are done by me, nothing goes to a repair shop unless it's for new tires, not even for oil changes.

Friends truck i've been working on and storing while he's on the road driving.

2006 Silverado.

I put a new drivers side inner tie rod on it a few weeks ago. A new bug deflector & the pieces above the door windows last week. it also had new tires put on 3 weeks ago and damn the cost of new tires are freak outragous.

1st Daily driver.

85 Silverado

Mostly used to haul new projects home, move stuff for other people, and clean the many trees that seem to keep falling over here.

It a 350 Goodwrench motor, 350 trans on 2nd rebuild, new headers, duel straight pipes with flow through mufflers, 750 Edeldrock carb, Edelbrock intake, custom trans support i made. Put the push bar and lights off of another truck i had on, changed the back glass to a sliding one, pulled the 1 3/4" exhaust off the last owner put on and replaced it with 2 1/2" pipes, replaced all of the brake system except the lines, put larger fuel tanks on, replaced everything on the outside of the motor except the heads (hi performance distributor, aluminum hi rise valve covers, new fuel pump, new water pump, new headers, new started, intake, carb and so on). new grill, replaced the cracked to hell windshield, clean up and repaired all and i mean all the interior & exterior wiring.

2nd Daily Driver.

89 G-20 (Van Choo Choo Edition - La De F-ing Da)

I drive this back killing, no leg room, land barge all the time, it get better gas mileage then the truck (fuel injected does help i guess) and with 3 kids it's the only thing the can haul all of us around.

It has a TBI 350 with 700r4 trans, pretty much stock i did change the stock air cleaner out for an open air one, big change in gas mileage for the better. I added a hitch, did a tune up, replaced a brake line, a caliper, changed the brakes, fixed all the wiring for the interior lights and windows, replaced the radio and wiring with one out of a 93 grand prix. i haven't done much as far a working on this thing because i can't stand it. But it will move when it needs to.

Wrecked Trailer Project

89 Silverado

$600 used + $75 for cap, sold cab for $200

A relative of ours owned this truck, someone cut him off and he swerved to miss them, crashed through the window of an antique store and hit a support beam. the impact so hard it bent the front frame rail in a z shape, he wasn't hurt luckly. Ironically there is a glass shop run out of the back of the antique store, lucky for the shop i guess. Got this truck for the motor, trans & computer to put in the Iroc. i also wanted to make the bed into a trailer to haul more shit and it can be towed behind the van so i can haul stuff and the family. I cut the front of the frame off, made 4 cuts in the frame, bent the frame rails in, and a friend of the family welded all of it for me. even though is not required in this state for a trailer to have brake light or even be titled and plated, i wired the light to work. i thought it would be a pain to make this into a trailer but is was freaking easy, i spent at most 6 hours total doing everything in my spare time.

Finished 8/26/08

Newest Project #4

88 Plymouth Voyager Mini Van

It was free just had to haul it out of a field.

It has a 3.0L v6. was told we could have it if we hauled it. it has 4k on a rebuilt motor and 3k on a rebuilt trans. was told it had an engine fire, but the 3 wires going to the o2 sensor were laying on the exhaust and got burnt. some one tried to fix the van by hacking up the wire harness, so ended up spending 8 hours last night (9/27/08), going through the entire engine wiring harness. i replaced a missing wire and cut out a fried fuse able link, which was the reason it wouldn't start. a little starting fluid and it turned right over. i have to replace a heater hose and a rubber trans line that have holes in them from mice chewing on them. after driving and beating the piss out of it to make sure it's not going to break down, my wife can have the thing to drive.
