Builds 1974 Pua'a

[PabloCruise]

Just when you think you got it figured out

It's always something!!!

 

[PabloCruise]

Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into locked a serious drug pig collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

Perfect quote!!!

I like that rack!!
Interesting, original pics have Oregon tags, now Montana plates. Does look like a beauty. Curious how this all worked out with the curated bid process.

@samc2447 put me in touch with the PO, so I went direct. The MT plate on the back is current. PO is a nurse who lives in Bend, OR, has owned it since 2014 or so. Someone in Bend did the metal repair and paint.

Came out of AK sometime prior to that.

Crazy how many pigs come from the Oregon region. Seem's like several from the Bend area, my 69 came from Lapine, 50 miles south. Congrats on nice pig, you gonna love owning one...

Still trying to make PP24

 

[gonzopancho]

So, like above, still trying to make PP.

Truck has a number of minor flaws:

- Hood latch, cable and handle is MIA (sourced)
- heater valve is MIA (sourced)
- doesn’t want to hold charge (no idea yet)
- runs but not well (rebuild carb, tune up)

So the plan is to try to address those in Boise before PP24.

I’ll probably take the bumpers, grille, headlight surrounds, push bar and fender vents from BATPPIG and put them on this truck.

Have a set of 33” km3s (255/85R16) on the Takekitchi 16” steelies. If they fit without a lift I’ll put them on the truck. Has 31x10.50R15s now.

Speedometer doesn’t work, but idk why not. Later.

No stereo, but later. Dash is cracked, and I have one, somewhere in the pile.

Dobinson’s 1.75” lift ordered but it won’t be here in time for PP24. Later.

Door cards from SMS Headiners are August.

I’d like to convert the front end to discs, and I have the parts, but … later.

Other than school zones, you're probably good to go.
