Hey Toby good job with the calf! Did ya get some of those projects done on your other trucks or your tractor?[/quote]

No, not yet. I replaced the water pump on the 88 yesterday, and the day before that I replaced the filter assembly head. Hopefully I'll be done with it for a while. Now I want to but an air compressor in it. I guess I'm never happy with what I've got.

Good afternoon all!! Just getting ready to watch the race!

Toby at least you got a couple things done. You never want to be completely done or wont have anything to tinker on!

Steve, spring cant get here soon enough! I am counting the days.

Hey guys I made an album for my truck so you guys can see it. Since I fell on some hard times and my trucks motor needing a rebuild I am unable to drive my truck. It has been sitting since the late summer of 08. I am making plans to do a frame up resto with a whole lot of killer stuff for it this year. I just need to find some garage to have it sit for the summer while I tear it down ans build it up.

Damn Johnson he is good but I don't have to like it. Went to the World of Wheels yesterday about like last year good but hard to compare to Back to the 50s and Car craft show. We also went to the Home and Garden show, lots of ideas the may cut into my toy budget.

Well up on the drawing board is buying a totaled diesel and swapping what I can over. Hopefully when I get into summer I can find some deals and start tearing down to the frame. I need a whole new long box, so a new paint job is in the future. Right now all I can think of is what color and what motor is going into my truck haha.

Wow that would be quite the project swapping a diesel into it but would be fun in the end. So what color are ya thinking? I will keep an eye out for a long box if I find one I will let you know.

Well Troy the mind was racing tonight! I feel after talking with different people that an International Harvester DT360 should be the way to go. I have found some in MN just need to get in on a group buy for the bell housing and flexplate. I heard these are superior to the cummins inlines so I was sold after reading that haha!


I'll catch you all in the March BS thread....
