Just branding my shiz!
Compressor fed tank. Nothing special.
I wonder if there's a way to secure a standard 10 lbs. compressed bottle to this mount? I would prefer to keep it out of the truck.

well, I don't know about you guys, but I had a busy weekend that spilled into today.
New: Fender flares, roof rack, bedlined floor, hilif jack mount, repaired passenger side headlight, replaced speed sensors, replaced cruise control module, stained my rear shelf, replaced various trim pieces, replaced DS front window motor, etc... A lot happens when you ind an 80 in a junkyard. haha

Word to the wise: Don't drive on a gravel road with the back hatch open. It freaking sucks.
We are in the middle of a drought, doesn't take long to figure out you left the hatch open here :-(
Made this mistake over the weekend as well. Wife damn near threw me out the window with the rig still moving to shut it.

I had no choice. I was hauling stuff that had to stick out. I just rolled all of the windows down and opened the moonroof. I think that made it less horrible...
My dog wanted air, I was trying to oblige.... wife was not digging the internal dust storm.... I'm an idiot.
In the early 60s cars didn't have air conditioners....not even after market. My parents owned a black 1960 Rambler station wagon. I was the youngest and I sat in the back. On the way to my grandparents farm we would have all of the windows open because it was hot as hell in Texas during the summer, especially in a black car. The breeze through the windows was all that kept you from passing out from the heat but the only route consisted of dirt roads much of the way out there. I ate dirt in the back of that car everytime we went to the farm. It was better than passing out from the heat but I would have dirt rings on my neck from the dust attaching to my sweat. Lesser of two evils.
Man, my heart goes out to you. Not only am I a huge dog lover but also a huge pit lover. I know these types of days will come for me eventually as my two rescued pits are 8 and 10 years old.

Reminds me of stories my grandpa told me. They lived in the valley in Texas, would drive clear across the state to visit his mom in Wichita Falls. To help keep the kids (my mom and uncle) and my grandma happy and cooler, at least for a while, he built a bench in the backseat of whatever old car he had... and would buy big blocks of dry ice to put under the bench. This man was quite the shade tree mechanic, but was also a miracle worker.
Hey I've been to Mt Washington. Well aware of the deaths that have happened there, especially for those that are unprepared. No driving to the top on the day that I went.

1. tires get bigger and bigger
2. debt
3. things to do to the cruisers.
4. Jack Stands.
how depressing.......

Just bought the 12ton jackstands from Harbor Freight a few months ago. I can't believe i went that long without them...
Update: New OEM bushings and King shocks transformed the truck. I enjoyed King shocks for about 2 weeks then I experienced severe understeer and harsh rebounds like I had with OME shocks. Checked the bushings and I knew they must be replaced. My bank drained but my butt and back feel better.

Not 80 related per se, but picked this up over the weekend for my son that gets his license this week.
