I started to put the seat covers on the truck; it was too windy and cold to continue.
I'd pull it in the shop, but it's currently occupied by the Explorer. Have the ozone generator running. We'll see how that works out.

Gary, I think kdbenton was being sarcastic.
Perhaps he was referring to the red drop cloth or blanket???By the way, looking at Rusty from underneath, one can see "Swiss cheese holes" in the frame. Aren't you afraid that it will bend or break? Now, who is being sarcastic!

As for the Swiss cheese frame, I'm not too worried. Rusty spent his life as a farm truck in a pasture (remember the cRusty stage?), so if that didn't bend the frame it isn't likely anything will. Judging by the bent tailgate and front of the bed they hauled huge bowling ***** and delighted in stopping and starting rapidly.
(Yes, I know you were being sarcastic.

I thought he was serious as well. I guess I need a sense of humor check.

I replaced the upper radiator <strike>balloon</strike> hose on my tow truck today. Yeah, it's an 87, but it's got a carb'd 460 with a DSII ignition and I'm a bullnose guy at heart. It does have the ZF 5spd though... 
At some point I'm going to swap the front clip to make it look like a bullnose. It looked like the upper hose was original...

I used mine to bring a dog bed to the woman that took in the German Shephard puppy that I saved off the canal today. I think it is a shepherd. It is so emaciated it looks like a coyote.
