Grizzly Trucks

[Truck Shop]

I paid $600.00 for it...At auction..I had a NOS in the box 68 Shelby shifter knob and it sold for $650.00 so i was OK with it...

DT--I saw a rarity on FB market place-listed in Spokane. I personally have only seen one set
and were broke cracked/welded. 1964 FE 427 Long Leg cast iron headers in perfect condition-
$2,500. and was surprised that cheap .

Hey Will.....How is the engine build going...???

I brought the truck home this afternoon.
Roads were a little sloppy so I didn't want to drive it too much but what a difference!
It runs great and has fantastic power.
I played around a little lugging it up hills and putting my foot in to it without shifting down, it drives just like a pickup now instead of a heavy truck.
It sounds and drives great, it was certainly the right thing to do. I'm very happy with the results!

That's great to hear!

 

[diamondtguy]

Hey Will....have you had a chance or opportunity to put some time on the hour meter. ???

 

[Will_M]

Unfortunately I haven't been able to drive it at all.
I missed all the good weather we had in the fall and now the roads have been too sloppy to take it out. I'm hoping we can get a decent colder spell to dry the roads off. If they were just wet it wouldn't be a problem, I just don't want to get salt all through it so soon!

I got the truck out for a short drive yesterday. Aside from a small oil leak from a loose valve cover it ran great.
The driveability of the truck now after the engine overhaul is night and day better than before.

That's great---glad it turned out well and what you expected, that's a nice rig.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Thank you, we're pretty happy with it!

Just wondering if Will_M or Diamondtguy, Have able to get a some seat time enjoying their trucks?

 

[diamondtguy]

To be honest I haven't driven the Grizzly in almost two years. The divorce and the loss of my shop and property took the wind out of my sails. Slowly getting back on my feet and am planning on starting the Grizzly in the next month.I have my 68 Mustang almost finished and the 67 Mustang is ready to go.....Slow and steady..

 

[Hank R]

Sucks to be as old as we are and have to start over.

 

[diamondtguy]

That is very true.....

I have my 68 Mustang almost finished and the 67 Mustang is ready to go

By the photos I saw before that Mustang looks real nice.

 

[diamondtguy]

Thank-you...It is some of my best work yet .I have stayed focused on the direction I wanted to go with the car.. I am only a few hours away from firing the 427 back up...

Looking sharp

I've had mine out for a couple of short drives close to home shaking things down after the engine rebuild.
I took it a little further this morning to town to run some errands, it's running like a top!

 

[diamondtguy]

Thats good to hear Will....
