well got another pinto wagon to replace the one that got crushed by tree
this will be used to go camping and saving me money not having to drive my gas guzzling truck and still be able to haul stuff around and tow trailers
family truckster 1 had new engine put into it and went though alot of the running gear with new parts bushings and what not this is not going to be the case this time around im going to do the bare min on this one and fix it as stuff brakes the breake went working and thought it was the master but then i was moving it tonight and it started working so i may still do all new brake or better yet steel parts off family truckster one

Too redneck?? naaa the bushbar and winch give it that "i dont care what you drive for I will still move you out of my way"
that will earn you some looks and respect!!!
cheers
That's right! The brush guard and electric winch are a couple of the things on my friend's Jeep project that make it as mean as it is! >=)
i get looks for my bumper sticker on my old truck "have insurance?
u want to find out!
grr this wagon refuses to come back from the dead every time i fix something it develops 2 more issues now that i have the gas tank fixed it decides to start blowing gas out of the of the bowl vent and the radiator decides it should start leaking @ the top tank and all this wail i was trying to figure out why there is 8 lb of vacuum @ the breather tube acts as if the smog pump is running backwards
so i order up a valve cover gasket (it leaks and want to make sure all the values are as they should be) and carb kit and pvc valve dont know what im going to do about a radiator fred?
got the floats in but didn't have time to put them in
also got the rims for 40$ was excited about the price as they r worth 15$ scrap each
