I was going to buy them and ship them to his house, if anyone wants to contribute to the fund. I wanted it to be a surprise, but we also need to know exactly what he needs so just to make sure...

These will work, right? And this won't count against my $10 per day racing fund, right? ;-)

ive seen leafs do that, especially right where the center pin is

as far as axle wrap i'd look into a set of "cal-tracs"

there's a good DIY on one of the pro touring s-10 sites

What's your paypal address?

In reply to DILYSI Dave:

I'll let you know once I order them. I want to make sure they're the right part for the Tunatruck.

You guys are crazy

You're the one trying to build a complete truck out of rust, MIG wire, and persistence.

I'm not sure what to say, you guys are too much. That's really a lot of money, though, I'll save it up over time, I have stuff I can do to the fuel filler and swaybars and stuff like that until then.

In reply to volvoclearinghouse:

I'm in for a few bucks too

In reply to tuna55:

You're getting a set of springs, whether you like it or not. Might as well make sure they're the right ones.

yup. im in too. lemme know where to send what i can spare

You guys are all crazy.

Neither site allows you to copy the hyperlink exactly, but the performanceonline part number is RLS6672D3. You guys are amazing, and crazy, as I mentioned a few times before.

I'm down to help, let me know the paypal addy. I'd say if the collection goes over amount put it toward the rest of the bits needed. We all gain much inspiration from this build, let's git 'er done :)

Ditto.

OK, they're on their way:

Anyone else who wants to chip in for this, my paypal address is on the receipt (swingline31416@yahoo.com).

Here's some inspiration for ya, Tuna. For all that you've done to motivate and inspire us.

sent a few bucks

You guys are pretty great. BTW, I'm tracking all this. If by some chance I end up with extra, I'll make sure it gets refunded.

Done deed.

Been having one of those days when you either need to kill someone or help someone out just to get through it. You might have saved a life!

If you get extra, start a fund for body-filler and sandpaper...Tuna is going to need lots of that stuff!

I'm in.

Sent
