Well the trip to the yard yielded nothing.
I found a 72 lwb f250 4x4 but it was completely gutted and trashed.
Next oldest thing I found was an 84 Ranger.

On a side note, the bed on my truck is just over 6 foot.

 

Good Evening Nevada.
Craig

 

Good morning NV Ford enthusiasts, racing in Bristol TN today, have a good day .....

 

Happy St Patrick's Day to Y'all here and in all of FTE !!! HAVE A GREEN BEER Dave

 

Hey FTE, I hope everyone is have a fun, safe holiday.
Be careful if you are out on the roads.
Just hanging out on the couch here.
Ain't that exciting?

 

Good Monday morning NV ,lets make the best of it ......

 

Howdy Greg Donna Bruce Dave n all

 

Good morning Nevada, hope the weekend went well!

 

Hey Craig! How's it going? Long time no hear from. It's good to see that your still around. Call me one of these days if you still have my number, so we can catch up.

 

We did & it tasted good!

 

Morning everyone, I hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend.
Now it's back to the general grind.

I plan to finish the turn signal switch install today.
Trying as I can to take it very slow, but only so long I can lay on the couch.
I took it apart Saturday and will put that back together today.
This is one job I can do without irritating my stitches.
Still thinking it's a bad idea to try and run the permanent wires and mount for the fuel gauge because of the bending and twisting.
I really hate not being able to do the things that need to get done.

 

Good Monday Morning to you all,

Hope you had a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Did you survive it without getting pinched or drinking a GREEN beer?

Our St. Patrick's Day went well.
We started the morning off prepping the corned beef & cabbage for dinner, then we went to check out & bought Jimmy a little economy car, so he'd quit using the 4Runner when it gets fixed.
It's a 91 Subaru Legacy Wagon 4WD. It was a 1 owner car (bought new) with all of the repair receipts over the years included! It's super clean inside & out, power everything & it all works, but the automatic transmission hesitates to shift through the gears when in "Drive", but you can manually shift through the gears yourself & it goes just fine! It's a zippy lil' car!
So, it'll need a transmission eventually, but for $700...I couldn't pass it up! I'll try to post a picture of it later.

After we got home, I cleaned the house, made beer bread & green jello desserts, while Jimmy & the kids washed the new car. We ended the night drinking green beer & green 7up (for the kids) & eatting mint girl scout cookies while playing a few games of 10,000.

Now, that's the kind of day I like!

Have a Marvelous Monday

 

Sounds like a fun family day Donna. Wish I had more of those.

 

Didn't get pinched, and did not drink green beer (or any other kind of beer since I don't drink). Sounds like you had a great St paddy's day Donna.

Jim

 

Good morning Donna, Greg! Nothing too special for ST. Paddy's day, I did manage to have a glass of John Jameson yesterday evening,though. Greg, didn't get to the salvage yard, the weather was terrible again. This is getting old!
