Ah heck, I like wrenchin G2Gs too. We just never did that as it seemed no one ever wanted to but me. So instead we just visited and ate like kings! lol

 

Well, it's more of a hemp rope. :))_~

I was also maybe considering bringing my front seat out of my F250. The latches that raise the seat backs on both sides no longer work. I have heard tale of a cable in there that either breaks or comes off. I am sure we can cobble something together from the little hardware store down the street to fix it. I was definitely going to bring the carb. I am sure there is some interest from our members on how to rebuild them. The powder coating idea sounded great too. We will just have to see what kind of projects show up. I know we need to do some ball joints. I plan on going by James' house to get a refresher on the TTB before the meet. If nobody comes up with a ball joint press between now and then I may borrow his, but that would be a pain the rear b/c his is all over the place in his garage.

Jason's dad is a very talented machinist. He has run the tool manufacturing division at certain places like Nordam and maybe Spirit. Jason was given a socket tool made by his dad that takes off the jam nuts on the TTB to get the hubs off. He was thinking about bringing and maybe giving it to someone that is in need of one. I don't know this for sure , but I heard rumor of it.

 

Sounds like a plan. But I am planning on rent/borrowing the ball joint press from O'Reilly's for the weekend - although I haven't called to make sure they have one. I will do soon.

 

That sounds good. MmmmMMmm


Welcome Clay!

 

I am going to try to make it out to this GTG. I just joined the FTE Forum as I picked up my first classic truck Monday, 70 F100 Ranger XLT 4x4. How long do you think the GTG will be going? I have to go to work until about Noon then I can head up but it is around 2 hr drive.

Craig

 

Craig - Good question. It has been going longer, so I'd bet we'll still be going strong at 4:00. In fact, a couple of times ago we went out for pizza that night at about 7:00. So, please come!

And, where are you coming from? I'll send you an email with directions.

 

It usually goes on until the evening.

 

Cool, then I will plan on heading up. I haven't decided if I will bring the truck or not.

Gary - I will be coming from the OKC area. I will leave the base and head straight there.

 

Craig - Email sent.

 

Got it thanks,

 

Can't wait to see everyone again and meet new faces! I asked off from work yesterday, so I'll be there in shipshape and Bristol fashion. Well, maybe not that shipshape but we'll see.

 

Gary - I haven't been able to find you a pedal set yet, but I'm still looking. Also, is Chris coming down this year from CO?

 

Yaga - If you don't find the pedal assembly you will still be very welcome.

As for Chris, last week he hadn't decided. He's working now as well as rebuilding another SHO, and wants to get the car done "before the snow flies" - which isn't too far away up there.

 

When I talked to Ctibutis he was still undecided. Seemd like he didn't have a car to go in. Maybe that is getting hashed out now.

 

Looks like I will be there in the work truck. Bronco is at the upholstery shop now getting carpet installed, but I'm headed to Ardmore with the spirit of Tulsa nastalgia top fuel team for a match race so I won't have time to complete before the get together.
