thisismatt Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 I would not waste money on an Optima! Their quality nosedived some time in the mid 2000's. An AGM Superstart from Orielly's is cheaper and better. Or get a smaller, lighter Odyssey, http://www.odysseybattery.com/ 6 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Or deka, cheaper than a Odyssey and more CCA's 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Shawn was over the other day and worked on my king cab rear brakes for me. Before he left we looked at the 86 720 AC compresor and bracket and he played with it and put a belt on it and found that the pulleys do line up. So I will be running a 86 720 Z24 AC compressor and bracket on my 76 L20B in my 66 520! LOL 1 Quote Link to comment

XXL Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 You would have to edit every single image link to the new URL. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted April 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 I will fix the pictures after I get my own website. It will be a while as I had rotator cuff surgery on Tuesday. I will fix all the pictures in my threads as I have time after creating my own website to host my pictures and files. 1 Quote Link to comment

Lockleaf Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Looks too me like they got it resolved. Pics seem to be showing again. Doesnt mean moving pics from there is a bad idea though 2 Quote Link to comment
XXL Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I've been casually using Flickr since 2005, just after Yahoo bought it. Of course, Verizon now owns Yahoo... so you never know its future. It's been reliable and it's got a relatively intuitive user interface. For most pics I post here, I use a domain I'v had for close to 20 years (myattitudesucks.com). If a link dies there it's my own damn fault. 1 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted April 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 As soon as I can afford my own personal website I will quit dealing with third party picture hosting sites. Time will tell but I think in the end all Picture hosting sites will pull a PhotoBucket Ransoming of your pictures. Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted May 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Shawn will be coming over around the end of the month to start the customizing of the cab and bed. We will be doing the body work as we go. As soon as my shoulder is healed up I will get back on the wiring and also get the sway bar under the front end. Probably be mid June before I can use my left arm. Three more weeks of wearing the $2300 sling. Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Great build, looking forward to seeing in person as i moved up your alley, got a job in tolleson and just bought a house in Goodyear 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted May 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Happy to here you made it. Goodyear is a up coming area. Welcome. Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 This coming Saturday I hope to pull a 1980 720 wire harness from the junk yard. This will give me the wiring I need to extend my engine compartment and front lighting to tuck the wires the way I want to. Shawn has not made it over to work on the customization to the bed and cab. This will be minor customization that will be hard to tell it is customized. Shawn spent a Monday a few weeks ago pulling the engine and transmission from my 85 720 ST that Captain 720 came down and picked up. Little by little I am strengthening my left shoulder. Still in physical therapy twice a week. 3 Quote Link to comment
