I'm really glad to hear you got it running Bill. That's got to be a relief. Now that you know it runs I think it's about time you spent some of Jason's money!

We're not out of the woods yet Nate. I haven't tried the trans yet. We are gonna get the front end buttoned up, then we need to bleed the brakes before I see if it will move. Hopefully the trans is good.

Nah...your truck looks too good to rob parts from! LOL! You come on up anytime you like and I promise you will leave with everything in one piece.

I know where there are two OBS fenders sitting in a pasture right beside an orange F-150 with a blown engine.... Problem is the fenders are white, not black. LOL

Drop them in the mail LOL!! I have a good pass side fender, and my cousin said he has a driver side with no rust, but has a dent. Color doesn't matter right now. If the trans is good and the truck runs and drives good, we're gonna paint it later on anyway.

I started installing the intercooler last night. If I can get that buttoned up by Friday, I just might head up Saturday morning. I'll give you a call later in the week to see what's up. (Geez, more snow)

Sounds good bud. If nothing comes up, and Jason's truck is out of the shop by then, I should be here pulling the engine out of a Subaru.
