RW - You are welcome any time tomorrow, but Ray (Ray1986F150) doesn't expect to get here until ~4:30. I'll be in the shop from about 9:00 until whenever Ray and I get done, but most of my time before he gets there is supposed to be CLEANING - I can't let anyone see the place the way it is.

Having said that, the job may spill into Friday as Ray wants several things off the parts truck and wants to change out the rear bushing(s).

Hmmm, might make a trip up that way tomorrow then. I just looked and confirmed I still have your number (unless it's changed), so I'll give ya a call if I decide to head up that way. Wanna discuss some finishing with you anyways.....
Besides, might be a few other parts on the donor truck that I might be interested in, just have to take a gander.

If ray's stuff does spill over into friday, might even be able to make a return trip. No time constraints on friday, at least not thus far.

Guys,
Sounds like we will have to buy 3 pizzas...2 for me and one for ya'll...hahaha...I appreciate you letting me use the lift Gary. I had one back home in kentucky, but when we moved to OK two years ago all I brought with me was what could fit in a 16' uhaul and in the jeep that was in tow. See ya tomorrow!

To close out this thread, it turned out the right front brake line was smashed along the crossmember, so no fluid was getting thru. No wonder it pulled to the left everytime the brakes were applied.
Not something one would normally expect to find, but hey, we did this time.......
Having a parts truck handy made it a simple fix.

Ray, does it stop straight now?
