87 Mighty Max
g63b 4 cyl engine
2wd
Got it for $8
So my quesions are;
1st I would like to know where to get a Instrument Panel that shows RPM, Oil Press .etc, Mine only shows the speed and fuel level and water temp.
2nd question, Bucket seats would be great, but don't know what type of vehicle they should come out of. suggestions?
3rd question. My friend was driving it and lightly hit a 63' Power Wagon and messed up the left side of the bumper and some mounts, the parking light no longer fits like it should, How do I fix the damage to the metal?
4th (and hardest) question. How difficult would it be to change the 5 speed manual tranny to a 5 speed manual 4wd tranny. I live in Idaho, so 4wd would be nice but is not needed.
So about the got it for $8,
My grandpa had acquired this truck (and a 90' Ford "Child Molester" (no rear/side windows, fence separates the front and back)van) after his neighbor died, and he lives in a neighborhood and couldn't keep the vehicles. The wife of the man could not take the vehicles with here to Utah, and asked my grandpa to sell them, send the money to them, then they would send the titles back to Idaho. Well you cant sell a vehicle without a title, so he gave us the vehicles to use for parts. After a couple of months of sitting in our pasture, I was told I could do anything I wanted with the Mighty Max (Lets get some TNT
) Kidding, I really needed a first car, so I took the opportunity to use this truck. I found a registration that was not under the mans name who died, and did not have legal tags. I researched the address and found the man and contacted him who recently owned the truck but he couldn't find the title, wait, WHAT??? So any way it turns out that the man who died was in huge trouble with the police, and couldn't have the truck transferred into his name, so the truck stayed in Kerrys name (The original owner) and Val (The man who died) bought the truck from him and Kerry kept the title and Insurance in his name. Val quit paying his dues to Kerry and he no longer supplied him with insurance or registration to Val. So the truck was never signed over. I went to the DMV to assure the truck was absolutely still in Kerry's name. It was, so Kerry singed the truck over to me as a gift (tax exempt) and All I had to pay was for the Duplicate Title.I don't get my license till November, because I took drivers ed my Sophomore year, So i'm the only Junior at my small school with a 49cc motorized bike
