I told ya' your names would be on it.

I don't know about famous, considering only about 2,000 people even know about the truck. I guess we'll see after this year.

That's cool Alan
And I back you up completely, you gotta give credit, where credit is due.
Sunny and almost 60 for the high today. Stuff to do outside once it warms up.
Hope y'all have a great day.

Good Morning Everybody!

The Ranger is in the shop waiting to get the engine removed. I've been dragging my feet with getting that out, so hopefully today it'll be sitting on the floor.

Well between the 10 lbs of mud sticking to the bottom of my work boots and 9 of the holes dug in the wrong spot ='s 9 hole redug by hand, and along with the mud sticking to the post hole diggers, yesterday was NO fun. But 15 posts are set, also NO fun pushing a wheel barrow with 4 ea 80 lb bags of quik-crete thru that same mud.

My age caught up to me yesterday and full on face slapped me. lol

OK Alan its confirmed that we will be changing for sure the passenger side upper and lower ball joint, and probably the dvrs side since we are that into it. What time do you want me at the shop?

Morning folks.

RC. as far as the guy goes, he was a no-show. ...maybe next time.

I want to pull the engine from the ranger today. Not sure when it will make it in EQ.

Rich. 0900 will work. That'll give us plenty of time to get everything done.

Roger that, 0900 with all the parts in hand. Thanks again for the hand.

Ford 429/460 Sanderson headers

Need any chrome 460 valve covers or a alum intake?

Yeah, the roads aren't great, but we just got back from Joplin and it wasn't too bad all the way home. The salt trucks are out so it was actually better when we got closer to home. I bet by the time tomorrow rolls around, they'll be fine.

I got the engine out of the Ranger. Of course it fought me every step of the way. I made a huge mess in the process, but I got it cleaned up before I left. Tiff told me Sears was having a sale today for vets and military. 40% off everything with valid I.D. I would've spoke up about it, but I didn't know what was going until we were at Sears. I got me a new air ratchet since my 20 year old Snap On one froze up a few weeks ago. I can't wait to try it out.

How do you resist going to a walmart parking lot and just destroying row after row of cars?
