your wish list

Well Ruffled, if it's an 80's Chevy you're after...I can fix you up!

We have:
1980 short box 4x4
1985 camper special 2 whl
1985 monster truck 4x4, 3/4 ton
1985 4x4
1985 short box 2 whl
1986 Jimmy
1988 4x4
and the 1985 diesel just left yesterday for crushing, hallelujah!

I will not bother listing the 90s models. Your wish is my command! (no, we are not a wrecking yard...although we sure look like it!)

As someone mentioned, the skys the limit here;

Realistically, and I have the means, a pair of belgians so I could sleigh ride in the winter. I brought one home once, but he didn't work out.

A snow leopard. Hopefully he would only eat bad people.

A polar bear to cuddle up with on a cold winter night, gazing at the stars and sharing a coke and a smile with.
And hopefully he only eats bad people too.

OMG wouldn't that be great having a bad man-eating snow leopard and polar bears for cuddles. If he's a cool bear it would be a Captain's Coke.

LOVED reading everyones pie in the sky dreams!  this was great!
some may not happen but some may....either  way we should always have dreams!

One of my big wishes this fall is to restore our '84 Dodge truck. It has been rebuilt several times since '87 when it was purchased and converted to propane. The motor is a '76 440 built to '69 high performance specs and only lightly used since then. The 1/2 ton axles are too light for our use. I would like to buy a late '91 Dodge diesel parts truck for the 4 speed transmission and the heavy duty power train.

too bad you couldn't find a 69 block for that rosewood. the nickel content was higher in those blocks and the horsepower difference was quite noticeable. We had 7 455's for a boat and swapped out 2 every year and rebuilt the used ones. The ones built in 69 produced a good amount more hp.

Hey! I thought this was supposed to be critter-related!

I have a very long non-critter-related wish list.

I have a list of critter related wishes as well, but our trucks are very critter related in our household. It is a truck that hauls hay, mini bags of feed, livestock to be processed and mama to the grocery store. I've read articles that dispute that one 440 block was different than another in composition. The '67 had the most compression. The mounting ears are stronger post '75. The motorhome heads had the best cooling, but the post '70 had more cooling than pre '70. I used a 413 steel crank, forged pistons, hemi oil system and more.
