Now: I only have these two vehicles, but I'm very proud of them and will keep them both!

Pickup: 1995 Chevy Silverado Extended Cab Short Bed

*5.7L (350 V-8) Engine (stock)
*4L-60E Automatic Tranny
*3:40 rear end
*Custom tires & wheels
*SnugLid Fiberglass Bed Cover
*A massive sound system, with multiple amplifiers, Kicker subwoofers,
Polk Audio separates, and an Alpine CD with XM Radio.
*In the works: Webasto electric sunroof (will retract between the headliner and the roof when open).

I use it for driving to & from work, and to pull the camper or the boat. I've also used it to haul the Charger on a trailer whenever I would go drag racing out of town. I have owned it since brand new, and it has, by far, been the best pickup truck I have ever owned. I plan to hang on to it for a long time!

"Play Toy": 1973 Dodge Charger S/E

*Has been in my family since it was purchased new in March 1973. I bought the car from my parents in 1989, but didn't get it back on the road until March 1995.
*Original Black paint & white vinyl top.
*Interior re-done with original style material & patterns.
*Original engine & transmission (400 4-barrel & 727 Torqueflite) have been removed & stored in a dry place.
*Has an all-out 474 cubic inch "stroker motor" and a beefed-up 727 Torqueflite automatic transmission.
*3:23 "Sure Grip" rear end
*Upgraded cooling system, complete with a Griffin radiator, B&M transmission cooler, thermal fan (mechanical), and an electric fan.
*Mallory Comp Pump electric fuel pump (140 G.P.H.) with bypass-style regulator and return line to fuel tank.
*Other than what was mentioned above, the car is still mostly original. It still has the factory AM/FM stereo with three speakers, air conditioning (converted to work on R-134a refrigerant), and a "Slap-Stik" shifter.

In The Future: Planning to buy a 2006 Mustang GT Convertible. :)

I did get the Charger back on the road after converting the fuel system to work with an electric fuel pump in June, but after getting to drive it around awhile, I have found that I'll have to sink a few more $$$ into it!

Believe me, I think anyone who wants to ride in the Charger would feel much better if they knew the brakes worked! :yikes: Got a wheel cylinder on the rear axle leaking. Also, the original rear springs need to be re-arched!

It'll be "road-worthy" before long! If gas prices go down at some point, I do see myself doin' some serious cross-country road trippin' in it!

Just what we needed! Dang, there's enough "language barrier related" problems already! :yikes:

Just when Magicman thought he already had enough "interpreting" to do......... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

At least these previously posted links will come in handy for now! :harhar:

Must just be the south eastern wisconsinites that have problems speaking.

Us northwestern ones sound just fine.

I will be in the south east part christmas eve late in the evening. The wife and son and I are driving to Pleasent Prarie to see my dad and step mother. We will be there X-mas day and all day monday.

Have plans to stop at a friends house in Racine sometime one of those 2 days. Probably make it monday though, as I am sure Beth and Ray will have a full house sunday.

There is some gooooooood fishing out front of the Case/IH plant though. Thats all I know of Racine, my dad owns a charter boat and thats how I know.
