Subscribed. Mine is on the block this winter for a 4WD swap (if I ever get the darn garage finished) and paint next winter. I'm curious to see yours in all black.

My wife also doesn't like car parts strewn through the yard. I've had an F350 front frame w/ D60 I've been moving around for about 2 years now. If the grass isn't over the frame, it doesn't count right?

 

It isn't that bad of a job to replace the steering gear with the truck complete. 3 bolts threw the frame hold the box on. One tie rod end to the pitman arm, 1 bolt holding the rag joint to the box, and 2 oil lines. to me the oil lines are the biggest pain. It would definately be easier with the truck torn down, but you should be able to change it out in under an hour.

 

The part of my comment that really gets my wife going is the 'THE'. "I'm not a object, I'm a person, refer to me as your wife". LOL

 

Much like that ring tone."its the wife" its the wife!!!!

 

Pretty sure mine said "WARNING" first lol

 

That's it^

 

I am so glad I am NOT married to have to deal with ANY of that BS

 

Looking good, Keep up the good work. I'm strap less with my I/C but also have a 6.0 trans cooler stuffed in there. I need to do this to both my 97 and 96 trucks. I think if I get my garage finished by winter I'll be starting part of it. I cant live with out the truck in summer tho.

 

Yeah Brad, but then you deal with other BS of being single, dating, going through after the other, Either way, life is a lot of BS. When you find a good one, hold on tight. They are few...

 

Amen, brotha...amen...I wouldn't have the trucks I have if I were...

I make it simple and don't date lol...

 

I'm not gonna lie. I don't think I could give up the home cooked meals when I get in. And there something about tucking my kids in or them tucking me in(depending on who goes to bed first lol) and the little things that are so important to them that are just priceless. You guys can have your "no BS lives." I'll keep mine thanks lol

 

Riigghhht, not dating is good....for awhile...LOL. Funny thing with me is, I would not have my truck if I were not married. The blessing of my daughter trumps it all anyways and my wife is cool as shiite to boot.

 

Right there with you!! Look at me derailing threads!! LOL

 

Back to the topic lol - I do always enjoy following projects, so this should be fun

 

Home cooked meal Every night. Breakfast made EVERY morning, Lunch packed Every day. Food bought. House cleaned. Laundry done. Sex when EVER I want it. She also pays me rent.

Why would I want too ruin a good thing by getting married(and having kids). It has worked so well for years. If she doesnt like me owning 11 truck, she knows where the door is. It is that simple

Also, I have a couple good OEM hoods(not jap junk). PM me if you want one
