I know right! The 83 in my signature is blue on white, will no longer be this come july...its gonna be COMPLETELY restored from the inside out. When I am done, it will look like the 84...the 83 is an XL, but I am gonna turn the inside into a XLT. Its gonna look sweet. I want that baby looking like she just rolled off the showroom floor....including stock steel rims and hubcaps(I have the caps from the 86 of my dads...)

Alright guys, got a free scanner/printing etc etc all in one thing, so had abit of fun with it, scanning old pics, never before seen on here, of my F250 IDI, back when it was only 6-7 years old, still nice, rust free, and original gray color.

Our old slide in camper we use to have before the motorhome, 1977 Shamrock 12ft. That's me standing in this pic, at the age of 3 or 4.


This pic was late 90's, 1998 I think, is when the rust started showing....


And our old place, way out in the country we lived in untill fall of 1998.... miss living there, but was 45 miles each way to town for work. My dad built this entire house all by him self in 1991.



Here I am at the age of 4, riding my 1982 Yamaha 200cc quad, witch I still have. Been in the family since new!


Back view of the old slide in




Sure miss having 1.4 acres of land....

My 83 will be the Red/Black that the 84 was like when it was produced, and 9,833 out of all the IDI's that came out that year were Red/Black two tone....
