Seems like you could find another Ford over there. Bet you could bring one back...be pretty cool to have a right hand drive truck.

Man thats a sharp truck there. It looks clean!
I will be there a minimum of two years time on station but I'm sure there will be an opportunity to extend. I'll be sure to post pictures. I plan on getting a clean 97 CCLWB when I return.

I'll keep my eyes open for one when you return(By far still my favorite body style of trucks) and look forward to you keeping us updated with your life.

Take care Mike, be sure to drop in every so often and let us know how you're doing..
No doubt someone out there got THE truck they were looking for.
Guys we have GOT to have a GTG sometime... even if it's just a run to the burger joint in Bald **** again...

Good luck on the other side of the world Mike. Hate to see you go, but I understand working for Uncle Sam.
Gees Wally, talk about the proverbial brick on four wheels with all the aerodynamics of a barn. And a 454...I'm sure it has all the power and fuel economy you dreamed about!
My wife keeps trying to convince me we need a Class A; until I explained we'd either (A) walk everywhere we wanted to go once we got to the campsite/RV park or (B) started flat towing her little car on road trips. All the sudden the 5th wheel arrangement ain't such a bad idea after all.
Or the one across from Tech in Russellville. Both will put the pounds on you I'm sure. I'm still blaming the birthday boy for killing the last talked about GTG.

Hey, the mileage on that is about 6.5 now that I've got all the vacuum lines fixed(had a squrrill/rat nest on top of the motor). That's towing the Jeep too.
Cost me $125 for a tow bar for the Jeep, I already had a set of those magnet tow lights, and I've already got a trailer that'll take both Harley's if it's going to be that kind of trip.
For reference, I was getting between 9 and 10 pulling the Scotty with the '61 and had no way to take a motorcycle if I wanted to.

A fella & me went in halves on some donkeys I found on facebook. Neither of us need them but something we wanted. We got seven total & these pictures were taken shortly after we got them out of the trailer.

Ya, I bought some ***. Just something else to take up my time but I like the hard headed critters. Plus I finally made some headway on the fence.
Nothing else really going around here beside family stuff, work & stuff out side. Been thinking lately about sliding my 3/4 ton 4x4 frame under my F100 & putting a diesel in it. I still want a 4x4 but cant justify one & wont give up on having my F100 on the road again.

Talk about a down pour, 2.75 inches here at the house Tuesday afternoon. Too bad it wasn't an all day/over a couple of days event so that we might actually catch up on rainfall. It was rough sitting in the cab of a locomotive watching it pour and hearing the conductor cry because he had to get out in that stuff. But I'm sure with therapy I'll get over it.
Woo Hoo 
I'm getting 12 with the Pavement Princess while dragging the barn down the highway. But then if we need to use the bathroom we have to pull over and stop somewhere. Guess we'll have to call it a draw in that respect. I still say you came out ahead in that deal Walley...even if it's got one of those GM things between the frame rails.I'm not sure...but the mirrors and rims/axles are interchangable. So I'm willing to give it a try if we can come up with a victim....err, volunteer. Dang slip of the tongue I tell ya!
