Yup! Nothing spectacular, but it's progress nonetheless!
I am sitting in a hotel room right now...just rotting away..
Topper I will be using the tranny crossmember, but the cab will have to come off
first. I am probably going to have to wait till winter to get that done.
My working life is going to change at the end of June, beginning of July
60-70 hrs a week and 2 hrs from home. It's either no time or no money...

See, all you needed was a little nudging from the gang at Flatlander Truckfest and a ride in Homemade. I also think you want Nicholle to have a private photo session with you in front of your truck, with the garage door closed.

Jeff- if you have the original fan shroud and an electric fan - try putting the electric fan inside the original shroud- mine fit very well - I cut away the excess plastic electric shroud, drilled holes and bolted it to the orig shroud- pulls great air looks OK and saves room in front of motor. I have a singls electric fan not the 2 fan setup and if I remember it came out of a Taurus (the gray hairs keeps pulling the memory cells from my head so that is a guess)

Gary, the way Nicholle was pawing Jeff in broad day light in front a group of people in the open on Route 66 I'd had have wonder what she'd do to him in a dimly lit garage with the door closed and some Barry White softly planning in the background with a freshly painted truck sitting in there with them.

I know what my wife would do. She'd tell me it's late, turn off the radio, lock up the garage and we should get to bed-to get some sleep!

Barry White isn't our style. Modern Country music is what plays at our place.
I have heard that a cargo light gives off a romantic glow.

Man, if someone flipped on some country music, a term loosely used, I'd be heading out the door in a hurry. My kid plays that in my shop when I'm my office, a few times I thought I had to call 911 because I thought he dropped something on his foot and he was hollering in pain. I like the old stuff but the new stuff I call white man's rap. Like rap "music" all you need is one beat and a rhyming dictionary and you have a "song". It doesn't hurt to have a nasal infection either.

Does it help when I say..I prefer to NOT listen to Reba Macintyre?
Rap music? whats that? Music you listen to when rapping gifts???
What do you listen to? The Eagles? They are classic rock, but sounds slower and mellower than alot of country today.
Just admit it Bob...you really like country music cuz it reminds you of the farm.

That I can relate to.
Although, I don't even think she would be in the garage to start with. Of course with the state of my truck I don't blame her.

I'm part of the right wing conspiracy, I mainly listen to talk radio and if I want my heart to beat faster I listen to NPR as long as I can before I fling something at the radio, it doesn't take long. When I do listen to music I listen to classic rock mainly, very little new music I will listen to. Usually in my shop I have Pandora on the computer. It drives my kid nuts because I have everything programmed, AC/DC, Eagles, Hank Williams SR, MOtown, Pasty Cline, Johnny Cash, Blue Grass, Quiet Riot, Gospel, "Old Timey" music-the kind played during Lincoln time, Bob Seeger, Jim Reeves, Jerry Reed. My family doesn't like my variety.

I once worked with a younger guy who liked to play new rock, the kind that makes me so depressed I want to slit my wrists. I told him I wish someone with talent would write music again and he called me narrow minded because I didn't like his music and hate rap "music". I then asked if he listens to classic country? Blue grass? Gospel? Motown? Instrumental? classic rock? Sinatra? a half dozen other types of music I listen to. He said "No" to each one. I then asked him who was the closed minded one. He didn't have much to say after that.

Well call yourself what you want, listen to the music you like.
You can still leave an oil stain in my drive!
