Re: 2006 TrailBlazer

There's still a variable to think about. The TB comes with either a 3:42 or 4.10 rear. I've read that the ones with the 4.10 are very respectable on the street. My economy gear might not stand up to Maverick's Explorer. I might have to take it to RPM to do some tuning to even us up a bit.

I guess it will come down to the driver then. 8)

Re: 2006 TrailBlazer

It's got a 3:42. What's the weight on your explorer?

I found a curb weight of 4417 on the 2wd TB.

Re: 2006 TrailBlazer

I guess we need to put aside the GTO and Maverick and take the SUVs to Benson Dragway in the spring to settle this.

Re: 2006 TrailBlazer

Oh, boy! Here we go!
I expect the TB would be a bit faster, don't you?

Re: 2006 TrailBlazer

Then what will I do with the 2011 Z28 when I win it. Remember the tickets we bought at the Carolina Collector Autofest? :lol:

Jim, do we need a burnout avatar for the new TrailBlazer, too?

Re: 1969 Ford F250 Camper Special with 460 and 5 spd OD tran

Mark, I believe the marker lights were stock Ford items. They were on the truck when I got it at 15K miles. They were colored primer grey originally. When I had the truck painted in '98, I had them covered in white. No landscaping thread from me. I hate landscaping and yard work. I'll be paying some...

Re: Tim knapp's 460 swap into Walt's '69 F250

Tim, as far as a tow vehicle goes, I'll give you a sample of the last day's prep for her new owner. I knew she needed a grease job, so I got to that messy job. My air powered grease gun wouldn't push grease, so I fiddled with that for about an hour before I went to my manual gun. The manual gun didn...

Re: 1969 Ford F250 Camper Special with 460 and 5 spd OD tran

Ol' Blue is officially sold. A local guy saw it on ebay and contacted me after the auction was over. He drove it off this morning. Interestingly, he is a partner in a landscape design business and part of the deal is for them to work up a landscaping plan for my property. I've been wanting to do thi...

Password

Dave, I'd like to fix the missing photos and links in my 1969 F250 thread. It appears that the password has changed to allow me to login. Can you email all the current info I need to login and access the server?
Thanks,

Re: 1969 Ford F250 Camper Special with 460 and 5 spd OD tran

The Ebay auction ended without the reserve being met. I plan to keep the truck up for sale on Craigslist and Cars.com during the winter months and then relist it in the spring. In the mean time she's sitting pretty in the garage while the GTO must suffer the bitter cold winds of North Carolina outsi...
