I've got the life giving fluid brewing and then have to vacuum the pool
. I hope to have a semi easy day, my headache was the flu sneaking up on me.

 

Morning Missouri and ND tagalongs. I have already had b fast, lunch and it a little past dinner time here, was a little rainy earlier but other wise a nice day out to do nothing.

And that's what I did, but I would rather be home working on ol red.

 

Hey y'all - just poking my head in here to look around a bit.

Between work and family commitments, I've been pretty swamped since Mom got sprung from the hospital at the first of the month. I wish I could say that I've made tons of progress on something (anything for that matter) but it just hasn't happened. Now that the kids are back in school, maybe things will slow down a bit...

 

Afternoon All!

The boss managed to **** me off again today. I won't bore everyone with the details, but this may be it. I may have LOTS of free time to get other stuff done.

I'm at my shop working on the C-cab. I started making the running board and front fender on the passenger side. It's really coming together.

 

Welcome back Dave...

Alan hang in there with it, (the C cab that is) lol. Maybe we can get ol red finished up when I get back in town and get some other projects completed?

 

Had a good little G2G at the shop today. RC and Jeff stopped in and did some bench seat swappin' between trucks. Of course, after shootin' the bull and tellin' tall tails, I didn't get much else done to the C-cab. I guess tomorrow is another day. The good news is, the neighbor got the interior of the Dodge done. It looks like a brand new truck inside now. He did a great job!

 

Alan's truck's interior was brand new nice! Even smells good!

Good seeing some friends again even though it was 101 degrees! Whoooo! Had fun looking at RC's truck. Helped a little with the seat switch.

Vacuumed a crap load of accorn mess out from under the seat!

Put my mirrors back on the truck until I decide what to do with a different option.

 

had a good afternoon.. didnt have to work hard and got my old ugly seat changed with a better one that almost matches my truck.. also got to shoot the crap with some fellow ford truckers....... i dont know what happened to alan i was waiting outside the front door to drive him around back to get the dodge.. and he just disappeared ha ha ha ha .. i guess he slipped out the back on me..

 

Oops. Sorry about that, RC. Yeah, I just went out the back instead. I didn't feel like walking around.

 

Question...

Will my old 4 speed from my 79 F250 400 motor fit a 351 Windsor? I have a guy wanting my parts

 

The transmission? Yes. The bell housing. ....NOPE!

The 351W uses the small block bell housing and the 351M and 400 use the big block bell housing. ....different.

 

Thanks Alan.

 

i might know where he can get a windsor pattern bell housing..

 

I let him know RC. I told him about our site. He is working on a 78 F250 4x4

 

I have told a ton of folks about us....I mean this sight and just a very few are "hard core" FTE'er folks, like us.

I recon most people either work way to hard and don't have the time or just are not that web sociable? But we all work hard and find time to get on here, it make me wonder why.

I have learned so much about Ford trucks and even better yet made such great friends (you guys) and its all because this sight. Sorry, but once again I missed all the fun at Alan's shop cause I am OTR working.
