You are right Crazed. I have to knuckle down on the prize I have. I need to finish assembly of the 390 first. Fresh .030' block, crank turned 10/10 new pistons rings and bearings. The heads have been upgraded with hardened exhaust seats. I have an edelbrock 4 barrel and a reasonable cam into headers. I want to pull the cab and sandblast the frame as well as flip the rear spring hangers to possibly get rid of the factory four inch blocks.

For what you can buy them trucks for you could have your truck pretty much drivable and finished depending how involved you are going with it. But I can't say much either since I've bought other vehicles instead of finishing what I got. It's a sickness for sure my friend.

I don't think there's any cure for the sickness atleast I haven't found it yet. But FTE only fuels the fire haha. Seeing everyone else's rides gives others ideas for there builds. I like my 4x4's but if a nice 2wd came my way I'd probably get it depending on my funds.

Well, I went and made an offer on the two trucks. Now we will wait and see what happens. I will get the long bed running and fix it up some and sell it. The plan for the short bed, is to take the F250 suspension and drive train and install it as a driver. Nothing crazy just a good usable truck.

Yeah I know. But I have a 1971 F250 for parts. The cab is toast but the suspension is rebuilt. I would love to put the dual piston disc brake and dana 60 rear under that SWB F100 with the 360 and C6 to make a fun dump run truck and play thing. I am so torn at this point.
The little wifey as being the cook care taker of your children so win out.
So, I'd say don't push your luck as women keep a score list,
and have been known leave for less reasons.
Happy wife happy life!
