I shouldn't have said "most" boxes. That black line around quoted items is new. And the same black line is around the compose message box too.

Bill, I think it's what the programming world calls "major progress"!

Maybe I'm not very attentive, but I don't see anything different...do you mean the trace line across the top and down the left side of the Gray quote box? I thought that was always there.

No big deal. But someone probably spent a lot of time designing that programming. We can't let that go unnoticed!

Wow...he and Earl Weaver on the same day.

Amazing that Musial played 22 years and never struck out 50 times in a single season.

Picked up the pick up last weekend.

Gotta topper on CL - $25

What exactly do I have? Year wise? Both tires are crackly, one side has the split rim. A few pics attached.

Let the games begin!

That would be a bed off of a 73-79 (dent side) truck. I'd say 250 assuming the axle is off of the same truck. Other than the obvious ranger emblems I dunno.

The frame is narrower than the dent side body; the holes don't match the frame. The leaf springs narrow too. 7' long box and 6.5' wide.

Will give my hand a try at body/paint. My last experience w/auto repair was with a paint brush; looked great from 20'.

You have a Ford pickup truck bed converted to a trailer.

Seriously I agree with the above, F-250/350 based on the axle and leaf springs, but it doesn't make sense that it is not the correct size.
