Fossils (from Classical http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin fossilis, literally "obtained by digging<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil#cite_note-1</sup>") are the preserved remains or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_fossil of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past.

Hummmm, if I'm dead, who put that s366 in?????? My big thanks to you who ever did!!! LOL

The definition never said dead remains....it said preserved remains...lol. I like the "organisms from the remote past" part. That sums it up! Haha

Edit: I'll be staying in the camper, LOL

So have you pulled anything yet with it Bill, or is Tyler still hauling you around? Ha just joking. Glad to see you are getting it pieced together the way you want it. I think i mentioned this when Glenn was looking for a tool box, but i think one of those tool box tailgate would look good on a dualy.

I towed a couple times with it when I got it all back together the first time, but that's when the clutch started slipping cause the input shaft seal started leaking and got ATF on the clutch disk. I put the trans that was in the truck when I bought it back in it and got the clutch all cleaned up, but I'm just babying it around right now to make sure the clutch gets broke in good and see if it is gonna hold up. I need to put the rails in the bed for the gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, but I'm trying to hold off on doing it, cause I know as soon as I do it I'm gonna wanna tow with it
