I actually work for the company that manufactures the NorChill Soft Coolers- Funny this thread popped up when doing some SEO work- I own a 40 and have owned an 80 in the past- Needless to say a cruiser head- That said i hope some of you choose to try our brand- We consider them the best on the...

You just going to re-ring that piston and see how it goes?

he have reciepts from the rebuild? that alone is thousands in labor/parts. depending on a first hand look at the rust that may not be a bad deal-

very nice truck! thanks for sharing-

Need some nice University of Tennessee decals on that sucker to complete the look! Go Big Orange!
