Craigslist score!
So I had a set of old bias ply 35"Ground Hawgs on my '78 F-150 SWB 4x4. I hated the ride,the vibration over 50 MPH and there total lack of grip in the snow. I paid $250 for them about five years ago. Last week I found a set of 35" Goodyear wranglers with abut 4,000 miles on them for $400 on Craigslist. When I called the next night I couldn't believe he still had them. I bought them and then listed my Hawgs on Craigslist, sold them for $225.
The truck drives SO much better with the radials on it it's like a different truck!
Now I just gotta get the heat to work so I can drive it, it's 2* here and is supposed to get to -7* tonight.

Yeah, my 78 had the swiss cheese mod on the cab. The boot on the clutch rod going through the firewall was gone too, and the cold air blew straight up my leg. I finally stuffed a paper towel in there, and surprisingly, it stayed put and kept the wind and water out. Bounty weather sealing. Who knew?

Speaking of Craigslist...has everybody heard of the website SearchTempest - The EASY way to search Craigslist On this site you can search any or all of the Craigslists in the country at one time. Just a tip in case you haven't found it. I search all 400+ Craigslist sites when i'm looking for parts small enough that freight to Seattle isn't prohibitive.
