I have had my trusty V-Start since 1999. It has taken me everywhereI needed to go (and some paced I didn’t) with very little problems throughoutthe years. But I want something bigger and more comfortable. I have wanted a RoadStar for years. But Now I find myself eye balling Royal Stars pretty...
Got the rest of the steering knocked out. I set the gear boxup where I could clean it and look for leaks. I planned to replace the shaftseals but they looked great and had no signs of leaks. Next I mocked up thegear box reinforcement bracket. I do not know what year truck it came from, butall I...
Thesteering coupler turned out to be more complicated than I thought it would be.The big problem was only one part in the rebuild kit would work. The rubberpiece is all I could use, the rest was worthless. Then, what I thought was threadedstuds turned out not to be. They went through all the...
I bolted everything from the 72 into the donor truck. I hadto get that wrapped up so I could get my jack stands back and I got tired ofthe left over’s lying around. The springs have not settled yet, but even so I amquite surprised at how well they are holding the weight of that 6BT. They...

First, will...
I restored this Tri-Z is 2005. It has sat in storage since Iwas stationed here is 2006. The new engine on it has never been fired and nofuel has ever been in it. There are a lot of new old stock parts on it alongwith a lot of rebuilt parts. Not everything is new though. Some parts I had...
Got the rod mod done. The rod end from the 72 power unit isthicker than the donor. It bolts in place where the donor’s has a pin and clip.There is a very small difference in length. That is simple to correct though. Icut each end off then welded the 72 rod end to the donor rod. I used a magnet...
