What's up guys. I skip a few days and I see nothing much changes around here. Auto vs ZF, Aaron whining about his projects being slow, Thomas lamenting Great White, Bill working his tail off trying to keep things moving and amassing a nice collection of Ford truck parts. Nothing here really changes. LOL. (you guys know I love you all like brothers...)

Seriously though Thomas, great work on the blue truck. Gotta love those IDIs. Good solid old trucks. I saw an F250 4x4, IDI in the junk yard yesterday and it kinda made me sad to see it there (though it was more or less wasted).

I can't believe everybody ignored this. This isn't a bad looking deal, on a fairly unique truck. Somebody must have cut it down because there was never a short bed F350 that someone could have made into a dually. That or they took a CCSB F250 converted it to dually and then changed the badges. Kind of an unique looking thing, really, but it would make a great tow rig.

It's a 351w, not an IDI lol

I know it's the same ol stuff on here but at least people are commenting, instead of going 2 days without a single post lol

I've been seeing a lot of id's in the junk yard lately. The other day I saw a rust free, one small dent in the fender dually down there. Depressing

Congratulations Phil! Hope the family is doing well. People just don't sympathize with how uncomfortable it is for the dad in those stupid chairs! Lol

Ooops! Wrong, truck..... Gimme a break, Thomas has had a few vehicles in the last year or two and I can't keep them all straight.

Congrats, Phil! These are precious days for you guys, treasure them. My babies are in 3 and 5th grade now! How did I get so old, already?
