Parts ordered from bronco graveyard. Should be here in a couple weeks. Andy...I am just learning as I go. The biggest problem is that you have to get the truck re-aligned once you replace the parts. Can't drive it too far.

Josiah we'll measure your truck compared to my trailer if you show up tomorrow. I'd bet it's a hair too wide but it's worth the time with a tape measure to find out if it could be trailered to an alignment shop if need be.

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.

Sitting home at the moment. Andy and I got a good bit done this morning. Down to the valve train now.
I'm hoping Aaron gets his sandblasting done soon so I can recruit his help from here. I'm lost even with the perfect directions Andy got me.

Hey Greg, if the parts come...how does next weekend sound? I'm in no hurry really though, so whenever is fine. How far is the nearest sears? If they still do lifetime aligments, I would like to sock it to em for the life long alignments I will be doing on this truck.

I got a lot done today. Bank, D&D, transfer station, bank, put deck furniture away, took down deck canopy, drove Mustang to storage in Wallingford (almost wrecked it), cleaned all the gutters, put up Xmas decorations (finally), watched my nephew for a little bit, now I am watching Christmas Vacation.
