Excuse us for trying to make the most of our time while running on an optimistic schedule.

I might come down for a little while as well. Not sure how much help I will be, but I can provide moral support. I have stuff my truck needs, but I don't have a nice toasty garage to work in, so I really am not too excited about doing any of it.

For those that need somewhere to wrench up this way my garage is always available and can be warmed for the occasion (although not as nicely as Pete's). Some trucks may need to deflate tires a little to fit though

You guys all have my number. I'm currently screwed out of a nice warm place to work as well. Can't exactly work on my truck when the entire shop is taken up by a 550.

I still have to do the front end on my truck one of these days. It would be quite nice to get rid of the clunk when I turn my steering wheel. Oh, and the truck responding when I do turn the wheel would be nice as well, haha. Do you have a place to get the alignment done nearby? Or do you feel ambitious enough to try do it ourselves Greg? haha.

Hey, you asked for it there Petey.

No. The obscene amounts of white smoke emanating from the truck asked for it.

I love kitties, Aaron. What do you think, Conky? Aaron is an idiot. Now, Conky, that wasn't a very nice thing to say...

I call it marriage with 3 kids LOL.

Josiah if you want to we can work on yours after the holidays at my place. I just don't know anything about front ends or old trucks, but if you have the knowledge on that stuff, I can be an extra set of hands.
