Today was a nice day, sun was out and in the mid 60's. Bad news, the Kosovo chow hall people quit today over wages, so they started handing out MRE's for dinner. I went to Burger King and got a burger and fries. I hope they work it out fast, I HATE MRE's

Do you work on rear Axles? Mine is shot and I am either going to rebuild it of replace it. Never rebuilt a rear end before. Douglas is not too far from Albany. You should post your shop info the the Shop recommendations thread.

nah, I meant shop with stockpile of ford related rebuild tools.
I'm offshore 8 months a year so scheduling is the only problem.
Rear end? sure, I've only done ford 9's so I don't know much about the rest of them.
If ya got a 9, yeah we can change out axle bearings, and rebuild the third. etc etc.

I think mine is a 9 inch and I think I have one bent axle too. Dang I love the room you have. My wife is moving us in with mother in-law. She says the shed is packed and it will be me getting it straight. She said it is packed to the door. Lovely...
I would be interested when you get back, or I get back, something... No big hurry, it is not a daily driver anyway.

I leave for work again in a week, and will be back May 18th-June 1st.
Course Manfred and I are kinda sorta in the middle of a long drawn out Np435 rebuild... it's taken like 4 months, I hope we remember where all the parts go :P
but yeah, the shop is 50ft by 30ft and dedicated to Ford car and truck madness. I've got a c6, np435, 63.5 galaxie, and a bunch of other junk scattered around, it kinda looks like a junkyard exploded.
Btw: it looks like we have the same truck:

Well Chief, since you asked me kindly to make an appearance here I figured I would and let you know what I'm workin on. Veronica (the truck) is a 1981 ford f100 custom with the 4.9 I6 all stock save for the homemade "GO DAWS" plywood tailgate and the gun rack/beer rack in place of the sunvisors. Making plans to install a set of Heddman headers (2 piece) to run dual side exhaust because nobody else has it in the next 2 months. Wife knows i love my beer so she is buying me a mini beer tap handle to retrofit onto my stick shift. In all, what was originally gonna become a restoration is turning into a rat rod. Hey, fine by me!
