Be sure to let them guys over on the other forum know we now have new custom built herders for the spread port and duel port engines available again for the D50 and Mighty Max trucks. It took some doing but now we have the try Y headers again.

[sleeps]

Cant find an edit button, that pics was just for size reference, has nothing to do with the thread or the truck, but I cant find how to remove it now. Ignore it if you will.

This is just what we like to see. A new guy finds the site, and jumps in with both feet. It's like facebook for mechanics.

Top of the page. Settings> Attachments. Near the bottom on the right. If you want to make it easier to post pictures look here (http://www.mightyram50.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php/43-Site-News-and-Support) Every thing ya need to know in in the sticky :))

thats it, then i sold it, motor went bad and then swapped it for a junk yard one and its still going strong.

Paint used was duplicolor ready to spray red from Oreilly's, with cadillac pearl for flames, and a universal 2 part clear all sprayed inside my garage one panel at a time. Front end lower lip was from a junk yard 1st gen s10. Had to cut and extened to fit the bumper. Enjoy!

[sleeps]

Oh ya, and cut front springs and removed middle rear leaf along with a 1" lowering block. Hood was a custom mix of jet black and duplicolor silver flake base coat for candy colors. Headlight conversion with nokya stage 2 artic purple bulbs, and a custom painted fake carbon fiber fuel door.

[ikeepzitclean]

good job man! it looks awesome in that last pic in post #15.. black wheels w/ the chrome center. curious, how many coils did u cut off the front springs? and was it hella bumpy after?

[sleeps]

I think it was one full coil. And no it was not bumpy after, not any more than it was already. I did cut the bump stops and installed new shocks at the same time.

[92bluemax]

Damn it turned out really nice:clap: good job ! keep us posted if you do more, and welcome to the forum

[ikeepzitclean]

it looks like quite a significant drop from stock, but only one coil? I think its that s10 lip that gives it a lower looking stance too. My suspension is completely stock now, but the rear end is pretty stiff.. I think thats common on our trucks huh?

[LSR Mike]

I thought you looked familiar. you went buggy at DSMTalk when I posted a pix of my Turbo setup...

Remember this?
http://mmeierle.com/DTR3361.jpeg

[sleeps]

@ ikeepz: I "think" it wa one full coil, its been a couple years since I did it, so I am not 100% sure, but I do have them sitting in my garage so if someone knows the stock coil number I can compare, or for sale if anyone intrested.

@ LSR: Remember it, I got that mofo'n pic saved foo! Along with alot of info we talked about regurading your build and what I was planning to do. Including the 1g dsm turbo electronics swap and such.

What kind of herder? Sheep-herders? Goat-herders? Cat-herders?

thnx for the info sleeps.. I'll see if i can look into it and find out. how many coils does that garage pair have left?

[sleeps]

Counting from the flat bottom up ther is 6 1/2 coils roughly.

[crvtec90]

Nice job

[ikeepzitclean]

Counting from the flat bottom up ther is 6 1/2 coils roughly.

not bad.. my stock one has a total of about 8 coils counting from flat bottom as well. thnx again tho

[Ram 50 Man]

I have that same idea for the rims on my Ram 50. With trim rings annd white letter tires.

[sleeps]

Just did a clutch repair on it for the new owner. There are pics of it and the motor swap on the last couple pages of my build thread on the link posted in the first post. Hopefully Ill be buying it back here in a few months and will start a proper build thread here!

[sleeps]

Well I got the truck back. Ill be starting a new build thread.

[ikeepzitclean]

lookin forward to that man.. was it fun hopping in it and driving it again after all that time? lol
