Bout to be a Proud PAPA

hey yall... well in a couple weeks im going to be acquiring my first mini woohooo its an 89 b2200 with around 135k on the clock... the guy said it needs a hood and bumper as i have yet to see pictures of it supposedly i will see some tomorrow or soon then ill post them up when i recieve anyways yeah just figured id post up a first post and let yall know that im a entry level tech for firestone currently probably will be for some time to come at least the whole firestone thing hopefully i can advance quickly though... well ok thats it for now im going to sleep

Welcome. Post pics of the truck when you get them.

will do... couple questions though whats some things i should look at that wear pretty easily on these trucks? i know to check all seals and what not but is there any certain things that wear more frequently? thanks for any knowledge given

Im a n00b too but welcome man. Ive got an 88 b2200. I work for firestone too man! Just up here in nashville, TN. One thing I can tell you about moving up in firestone, learn how to kiss butt and it will get you far.

whats up brotha. welcome to the site. if you have any problems or need any help let me know. i am right up the road from you over by temple. what are your plans for the ride?

Welcome man, simply said we kick ass

well i dunno fully yet i have a few wild ideas in my sick twisted mind hahaha dunno if they will become reality because i cant shit money but yeah... so far im thinking 20s, a 4 inch drop all around, etch in a phantom grill with dual round headlights, flat black paint job with a chromirror airbrush stripe job, oh and if you couldnt guess from my screenname im thinkin a 13B engine with a nice big snail sittin pretty by the exhaust... i dunno i got some super crazy ideas but they will eventually come out... as for kissing butt im not in it to move up in firestone im gonna just use them for the ase's =o) then bone the EF out to some other good place... and also thanks maztang ill definately hit you up when it comes to big time stuff hell ill supply the brews for assistance lol...

sounds good bro. i have a few tools and a little bit of experience so we should be able to get some things knocked out when you get ready man.

haha yeah well ill have access to a full shop so tools im sure will be covered but definately if anything we will at least be able to use a lift hahaha... also i looked it all up on stylintrucks.com and priced out for lower control arms and 4" drop blocks along with shocks comes to around 500 so that might happen quickly and doing the upper ball joint flip i would achieve the 4 inches for the front =o) and im curious is there anybody out there that makes a carbon fiber hood or even a fiberglass hood but the one on the truck im getting i guess is smashed so yeah

TOMORROW i pick up my precious although its a little older than what i was going to get that person backed out and also wanted more but i am getting an 86 with 146k on the clock so no so bad.... will definately get pix up come sunday when i have the day off =o) oh and it cost alot less too woot woot 800 yayyy
