Howdy AZ gang. Got bad news yesterday. The truck I just got has either a bent rod or bad lifter. Not sure what just yet. Going to wait till I finish the 302 for my 88 F150 then see what exactly is wrong with this one. What is up with 302s in these trucks I have one in my 88 which has 46K original miles and has a thrown rod, one I picked up and it is seized (from sitting), had the one in the 86 F150 getting very tired, and now this one. That is every 302 I have had. LOL

Craig: Thank you sir! As for Yosemite, I'm hoping there's just enough snow to dust the place. I'd just rather have the chains and not need them!
Travis: I got mine from The Retrofit Source. They're very high quality pieces a guy on the OBS page told me about. They have high beams and everything, and my favorite part is that they install in a stock headlight so that they retain the stock look.

Evening Everyone. Well today we dumped Satellite TV. We signed up for Netflix by mail. $11/mo vs $97/mo. I'm tired of paying for TV that is just reruns after reruns. We had HBO & Encore & out of all the western movies Clint Eastwood did Encore only showed two in 6 month over & over & over. With Netflix we get two movies/day of our choice. So if we get reruns it will be the wife's fault.
We are staying home. We play during the week when a few people work. But anymore I don't think most people of any age work.

Wish I could go elk hunting, or hunting at all for that matter. I'll be working all weekend as usual. As for the truck, I'm ordering some poly bushings for the front and getting an alignment, she's tearing up the outside edges on the front tires again...
