nah, our schedules stink and I don't really have the tools to rebuild a manual transmission, so we get hung up by trying to find a pipe we can drive a bearing on and things like that.

The first ford truck i leanred to drive in belonged to my uncle lee, a 80 f100 with the same motor and tranny, named Valerie. The first ford i owned was a 90 crown vic with a 5.0 EFI, modded exhaust, all terrain truck tires (p235/75r15 goodyear wranglers), 4.10 gears in the back out of a 2007 saleen mustang and 351w heads.Named it Victoria. Now i own a 81 f100 and keeping tradition, named it a females name starting with a V. The wife thinks im nuts, but she has to be more than i am to stay aslong as she has lol

Deep,

I wouldn't say she had mud tires to be precise, more like allterrain heavy duty truck tires. Unfortunately the only pictures i have of Vicky was on the day the took her last ride on a rollback. Started to develope more problems than I had money for. Sold it for $900 and bought my current truck (veronica) about 2 weeks later just before christmas. When i gethome to use aregular pc, i will post the pics. This tablet is ticking me off lol





the guy in the gray flannel was the tow driver,he was getting impatient with me wanting to take some final pics of Vicky. In thesecond pick my father-in-law (wearing the tshirt) helped me build most of it,she was meant to become a sleeper and we was proud of it.

Rust In Peace Vicky

yeah, 28 out isn't bad, unless you consider being stuck in a 60ft metal box and never seeing land for that long.
After that, you realize we work 28 because that is really all we can reasonably stand.

Never late and welcome

Thomasville, not too far from me, well when I am home.. Got a great house for sale in Pelham if you know anyone, will give a great deal.

The room here is maybe 18x22 with 2 of us in here. One small window and a room AC. If the weather is bad and have to stay in, I go insane by lunchtime.
