I bet they would sell well if still made. I doubt the fancy $100K+ pick ups would hold up as well.

That is Art's truck on Vancouver Island...He is the original owner...

Surerus has a real nice Grizzly too that's been posted on here. They have a big yard and shop I drive by when going out to my property. Lots of equipment.

 

[diamondtguy]

Yes they do...They have done a lot of work to it and they bought it new..

 

[Welder Dave]

Do you know what number it is?

 

[diamondtguy]

I would have to go look it up..It has the Maple leaf grille so it is after #5. If i remember correctly it was built just before Arts truck. I only have about 4 confirmed numbers for the order of build..

Will...I just realized that you would have to DOT that truck in Alberta..Curious as to how that went. I had some problems with the Alberta DOT 10 years ago...

With everything on the truck being brand new it was quite easy. It was only in the shop for inspection for maybe an hour.
Once I had the inspection report, registries issued me a license plate and it was done.

Good to hear....

Hey Will...are you getting some seat time in on the Grizzly ?????

I've put about 650 km on it so far.
It drives and handles great so far but I think this fall in going to put a crossover steering kit on it. Right now with the big tires the drag link wants to hit the driver's side tire when I'm turning right so I have the stops set accordingly. Long story story it doesn't turn to the right as well as it should.
I just got the truck back from the engine builder, he was tuning it up and making some adjustments now that it has some miles on the engine after the overhaul. So far all the changes we did to the engine have made great improvements.

Will you up early this morning, Good to hear your enjoying your truck.

Hey Will..Good to hear you are driving it. My truck has all Ford steering but I did change it over to cross over steering when I converted it to FWD. It is a little twitchy but it is a very short truck.Once my Mustangs are running I will turn my attention to my trucks..

Have you been driving your truck much?

 

[diamondtguy]

Will...I have not had it running in a year and and a half..Sad but true...Doing the best to get my **** together after the divorce i did not want...I am getting there...

 

[Will_M]

It happens.
All in good time, your truck isn't going anywhere.

I met Skadill earlier this week and we bs'd for a hour or so and he did a video of my truck. Yesterday he posted it on you tube. This should be interesting as he has over 60K subscribers to his channel. I posted a link on the video directing them to this thread....
