So I bought another one

Even though my 79 f250 isn't 100% drive able yet after off and on work for 4 years and I haven't been out in the garage since September even though there is a pile of new parts in boxes to put on it. I some how ended up buying a 78 f150 yesterday at A auction. She's got her rust issues and the 302 seems to be dripping oil heavily somewhere in the back of the block as well as somewhere near the distributer I need to put a few hours in to figure it all out and the. Ask some questions here lol. But for $600 I could let her walk

Wife says I can have as many Ford trucks/bronco's, truck pieces, parts, cabs, beds, sheds full of parts, shop full of parts, barn full of tires and rims, extra motors, ford related projects, with 2 rules.... no GF, and keep it on the other side of the back fence line.

And add guns, tools and Ford truck owning friends also to the list, and all the crazy 3 hour one way Craigslist trips for rare Ford parts I can handle, but still no GF.

Mine is a saint she bites her tongue for the most part. I'm lucky enough that my family owns a 20,000 sf warehouse and 40,000 sf fenced in yard lol
