So by the end of May, 2014, we had this truck torn down. Only one problem:
I still didn't have a donor truck.
What I wanted:
* something affordable
* 7.3 powerstroke
* automatic
* 4x4
Did you know that if you have a powerstroke, it apparently is worth it's weight in gold? Yea, I didn't know that either.
So I set my handy-dandy (not to be confused with Handy Andy) craigslist search app to 7.3 powerstroke.
Finally, a few months (or years at least it felt like), I found one that met my criteria.
In chicago. Of course, why not near me. Oh well...load up the hauler and grab it...
It was late, I was exhausted, thus I became fascinated...<br/><br/>Maybe I will keep these...<br/><br/>Or maybe I will sober up in the morning and realize that would be ugly AND stupid.
Nice speed yank job, its a shame your neighbors and the "township" are the driving force to get things done fast. So they complain and you have to work like crazy....interesting.
I'd have to move if I had neighbor and a township like that bothering me....I guess a township is like a HOA (home owners association)....glad I do not have one of them either to contend with.
Watching this build for sure. Just slap some plywood on the rear part of the truck frame, wala work bench. lol
Rules for becoming a true hoarder
1) Don't live anywhere you can't whip it out and mark your territory without causing some sort of community ruckus
2) Live somewhere where you can start your kids college fund with a scrape metal heap on the property and can't be seen by the wife ..
3) Justify it all by saying "they just don't make those anymore" or "that's for my metal sculpture I'm doing when I get older"
4) Keep everything as disorganized as possible so not to attract local tweekers looking for a fast buck ..
5) Keep your social circle limited to only those that can appreciate your genius
Lastly attach your mail box to something like this
