RC, I'm just pulling power from right next door. 2 of my extension cords gave me enough cord to throw the battery charger on the hauler out front. It's all good.

 

Sounds good then. Looks like it may be a mini get together, but we have always had plenty of those!! Lol

 

Here's some pictures for everyone that didn't make it to Ozark yesterday.

First, we stopped and made sure there was enough gas in the tank for the parade.



Then we had to tire it up at U.S. Automotive next to the staging area.



Then we made it all Christmasy.



Carina was ready to have some fun. Tiff was excited, too.



Lined up in the staging lanes.



Here's a shot as we were getting ready to "step off" for the parade.



This picture isn't very good, but this was in the actual parade.



Then we had to tire it back down and load it up at State Farm across town.

 

Awesome Dent there Alan, one heck of a billboard!! Did you pass out business cards?

 

I doubt I'm going to make it. I've got a water pump to replace on the Durango so I can drive it to work. If I have any time left to the day, I want to figure out how much of the front part of the 2 piece shaft has to come off and start planning how to fab up the carrier bearing mount if I need it.

Thanks for checking to see if you can source a one piece shaft Alan. I would prefer that route over fabricating something, but now I have a couple of options.

 

Alan awesome pics, sorry I missed another chance to lend a hand. I am copy and pasting a couple pf your pics elsewhere on FTE. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post15811375

 

Andrew I just went a measured the 76 with the rear overloads and that top leaf measure out to be evenly mounted?

 

sorry ya'll i dont think i am going to make it to alans today.. i had a guy call wants to come look at my 50 chevy today.. i sure could use to sell it.. my piggy bank is getting mighty thin lately

 

dave do ya want me to measure the 2 piece shaft from the 73 ford out front to see how close it would come to what ya need

 

If you feel like checking it RC, it might be good to know what it is.

 

Well I'm pretty well convinced the car gods hate me. I got the water pump and fan clutch in, cooling system filled back up, and up to temperature only to discover a heater hose leak. I'm waiting for it to cool back down so I can dump the cooling system again and change them out. At least their relatively easy to get to, just very low in the system. Sigh...

 

Jeff made it out to shoot the breeze, but I put him to work swapping out the tires on EQ. I gave him a ride out front and he got some video. There's some pretty funny commentary on it, too.

 

Alan, I'm uploading our video right now!! I thank you for the ride, helping you was well worth it for the ride my friend!!!

 

My gloved finger was in the way

 

Thanks again Alan, I had fun by helping you.


My phones speaker suckes, so there was no crazy squeeking like the video sound has...
