October Chat and Off Topic Thread
Alright, alright...I'll start another monthly thread. I'm begining to think certain members of this chapter have forgotten what a computer is.

On an up note, I was finally able to drag my Dad's old Nissan 4X4 out of the river bottoms today. I have had it sold since back in the spring, but the rain and high water kept me from moving it. It has already been delivered to it's new home.

Like a couple of redheaded step children I tell ya! Oh well, guess if they're not here...we can talk about them. Especially those 7.3L powered SuperDuty owners!!!!
So many to choice from, wonder where I should start?Not sure if this is good news, or bad. It was part of the family...but it was a Nissan. Glad you were able to accomplish what you had planned today. The oldest wanted to go by the local state police HQ to get his learner's permit. Part of me was glad he didn't have the form from the school district. Not quite sure I'm ready for him to start driving....especially the truck.

I've been trying to check in at least once a week or so, just haven't had much to contribute.
I did manage to get my scaffold built out in the shop, and get the T5HO fixture put up.. man that thing is like the surface of the sun.. now I just need at least 3 more.

What you see in the pic is the most efficient fluorescent there is, T5HO. Between 4 bulbs there is about 20,000 lumens of output.
I calculated a while back that I would need like 5 of these fixtures, but i was surprised how much light the single strip put out, more than enough for most things ill be doing out there.
I may just go with 3 more of these.. they have the option of turning just one side on or the other if you wire them that way.

No, I have decided against using those, at least up on the ceiling. What you see in the pic is the most efficient fluorescent there is, T5HO. Between 4 bulbs there is about 20,000 lumens of output.

I do forget until the weekend hits & I have time to get on here (interwebz).
Last week I went to North Carolina for a class for work. Got to look at this for lunch.
Bought yet another truck yesterday. 1977 F750 391FT 5x2 21' roll back.

Good looking truck! I like that bumper!
Is that one of the 3208 powered truck? My former employer used to run several of those Ford & Chubby trucks that had 3208 under the hood. While they weren't exactly powerhouse trucks...those engines that sound like sewing machine running down the highway would go forever.

Anybody got any good exterior trim for a '77 F250, Ranger, Camper Special, longbed laying around. Or any hints on a supplier.
Coulda used that rollback last week. When I went to get the above truck, the owner left out the whole F250/longbed part of the description. My poor ol' F100 slick pulled it ok, just didn't want to stop too well.
