5150 - Do you for a company out of Anaheim? I almost signed back on with a company I used to work for from there who was going to do a lot of re-branding of the JCP's to their new style. Curious as to how that is working out.

I ended up taking a job doing a 3 story structural steel job in Van Nuys.

Good luck to all of you looking for work. I have been there and done that. If I hear of anything I will pass it on to SCJBers.

Here are pics of the snails. Individual pics are of the same snail cuz I had to dig it out of storage. Gotta PM from Ray a week ago interested in them. Sent him pics but no word back. Anyone else if no word from Ray?

Got a couple things we need to get rid of to finish up Bebo's ride. We have a pretty nice looking set of gas fills, a 12 inch section of marine exhaust hose and a polished set of snails.

Gas Fills - Very good shape. 2 inch OD. - $25

Exhaust Hose - 12" long. Heavy duty coil ribbing. Stiff kind, not easily bent. 3" I.D. - $10

Snails - Polished but not perfect. Has I believe 2 sets of mounting holes. In storage will post pics later. - $40

SCJB pricing - Have them on CL for a bit more.

Hey Ralph that was a great find. I try to follow that advice whenever I can. Here is something my father in law sent me. I have passed this on to several people who were having trouble with their Christmas shopping.

Funny you should ask. We actually got it fired up last weekend thanks to Pat. Sounded pretty good, and Bebo was delirious happy. Carb was leaking down too much fuel, so we put on a 770 dual feed that my buddy had and it worked great. Its a vac secondary w/ choke, but don't tell Pat. Need to order the correct sending units for oil press and water temp, then its out to test!

We had a little fire at my house day after thanksgiving so we have been living at a hotel since. We will post up some video this weekend for sure.

Those were my thoughts exactly Omar!

I will have to pass. thanks anyway.

I have lived in the Glendora/La Verne area my whole life and love it. Lots of cities in this area are great for family life. The closer you can get to the foothills, the less through traffic you will have which brings the safety factor way up. We really only see our neighbors on our block. Any other cars are noticed pretty quickly. I really like the fact that there is a "smallish" town feel yet we are reasonably close to whatever we want to do.

Depending on what time you would be commuting to Burbank, I would say your commute would be anywhere from 40 mins to 1 hour plus. Prices can be pretty high in some areas depending on what you are looking for. I live in the older section "near" the rich folk.

My oldest son (not Bebo) needs to sell his truck. He is up north so I am helping him sell it.  Its a 2000 Silverado 1500 - Custom paint w/ hand pinstriping. Custom interior & carpeting and sunroof. Pro Comp lift. K&N intake and Aero exhaust. Full length Amp Research folding steps. Built in A/C inverter. Still has one fold down TV, head unit and headrest TV's were stolen. I believe wiring for headset units is in tact.  Has kenwood head unit, 2 amps and 12" subs. Matching Tonneau cover and Rhino lined bed. Custom front grill, head & tail lights. Nitto tires on deep 20" rims. Motor is a stock 5.3 w/ 75K.

Son needs money for school so truck has to go. Looking for 10K. Cmon SCJBers, somebody knows someone that wants this thing!

You can reach me here or on my cell at (909) 532-2581

My company has a job coming up in Paso Robles in late October. They want me to go but are considering hiring someone local. This might put me out of a job. I am trying to find ways to cut there costs to send me up there. Anyone know of a decent campground that takes long term residents (+/- 3 months)? I think it might cheaper and maybe even be nicer for me to stay in the trailer than a motel. Plus I would not have to keep making reservations/ changing rooms etc. Anything within about 20 miles would be cool I think. The closer the better to save on the fuel costs.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure which I should get rid of, the boat or Bebo.    They are both eating me out of house & home.

Pat I take it there was no damage then.  I am really curious as to how I put that in that way. Thought I was pretty careful. Let me know how the carb looks.

Thanks again Pat for all your help. If it is the cam timing I am glad to hear that I am not the only one to pull that one.  We were really happy that we saw no damage in the initial search after pulling the intake and heads. Still hoping for the best.
