Thread: 1972 Chevy K30 Longhorn Build

I've got one red one and one green one. Other than a 560 with a wide front, I don't think I'll be adding any to the fleet for a while. Sometime soon, this winter hopefully, I have to get the kids' mini tractor built. Who said what about projects?

Cough.. Cough... gasp! Green Tractors?!?!?! it might run like a deer but it still smells like a JOHN! jkjkjk


I doubt the kids will ever forget having a tractor of their own to ride around on. I know I never did!

Yesterday I dropped off the wheels at the blaster's place. I started getting quotes to get the wheels powder coated. $65/wheel is the cheapest so far. I think I will be painting them with a gun..............

On the green tractors, mine smells like power. Not a John. It's a torque monster with that power block. It's a wheelie puller so you have to be careful. Haha It's easier to drive the Super H though. The steering is easy and the foot clutch makes it easier to give kiddos rides.

The blaster still isn't done with the wheels and stuff. It may be a couple weeks because it's supposed to rain every day except 2 this week. I have been knocking off the parts lists though. I was going to get a cruise control kit to work with my dakota digital cluster, but I decided for things I need/want worse to drive it right now. So I ordered a 3 spoke steering wheel, and a new dvd/cd player with a 7" touch screen. I mainly want this for the blue tooth capabilities and the back up camera will be handy. I had to go with a screen that protrudes down unstead of up and that narowed my selection. I got a Boss brand one that seemed to have more positive than negative reviews. We shall see. My compushift mini came on Friday too. I also was able to get the new pick up tube in Allyson's Excursion on Saturday. I'm hoping to get it running this week so I can get the 72 in the shop. Here are some bad pics of the house we're buying too.
