Back home for the winter

Hi everybody! Man it has been a long summer! I have been on a work project that took me away from my family and truck project.
I am done for the winter and have a lot of catching up to do, but it's great to be back!
I just renewed my subscription here and I did the 3 yr plan, so a t-shirt should be on the way.
I made some good money this year and bought some much needed items.
I bought all new fiberglass fenders front and rear and lower valance(BeBop's)
bought some narrow wheels for the front end.
Bought a beater 4x4 to throw some mud around.
I have 2 girls that are close to driving and caught a good kid/bumper car for cheap.
I miss the forum! I see some new names out there so bare with me and I will get around to checking out the new projects.
I am ready to get back on the truck!
Happy Holidays!

Welcome back Jeff! Sounds like your local economy is doing well - that's terrific. Now get thee to some wrenching.

Thanks for the welcome party! I will get pics rollin when progress presents itself!
Right now I gotta rake up some frozen leaves, get my truck dug out/clean the garage, get rid of some scrap metal, list some wheels on the classifieds.
Nicolle has a large "honey-do" list too
I figure, if I get busy and stick with it, I can be on the F321 by next weekend!

Welcome back Jeff.
One of the benefits of these old trucks is that they will wait for you to finish your chores, and still put a smile on your face when you get after them.
Sounds like you had plenty to be thankful for!
