tell me about it. when something is wrong with my truck i obsess about it all week until the weekend comes and then i finally have time to work on it.

i have some minor tweaks i'd like to do but it's getting to be winter time around here so i'm hoping everything holds up and i'll take a look at her again come spring.

I'm looking for another engine for my truck so I can rebuild it.


I'm either going to do that or buy a 4x4 to build.


I'm looking for a 4x4 Ford, running or not.. Just to work on!

Enjoy it. I would love to be out driving mine, but its still sitting at the shop waiting for all the pieces to come together. Enjoy what you've built/rebuilt with a smile on your face b/c not very many could do what you have done.

You can't break it unless you drive it, so go drive it and enjoy so you will have something to fix
