Hello all
Hi There
Well I currently have a 2004 Super Duty Turbo Diesel with the old dreaded 6 liter. Trust me I heard if from everyone when I got it, but you know what it has been just fine for me, other then being damn cold blooded lol This Friday, if the guy does not flake, which I think he will not. I will be getting a 1978 F250 4x4, with a 6" lift and 37" swampers, it has the 460 in it. And I thought the 2004 was beast lol. Is having two trucks silly?
I am a total car nut, dad build dune buggies when I was growing up and I have owned various cars over the years doing my own work mostly. I saw most of Oregon as a kid in a 1974, I think, purple Ford truck with a caveman camper on the back. Maybe I can get dad to get me a copy of a picture of it to scan in, so I can post it. I loved that truck lol
I will admit before the 04 I was a chevy girl lol
But really I love all trucks. Always been a truck girl. So now to the point. I really want, I guess it is called a moonvisor, for the cab of the 78, the old school style would be great, but darned if I can find one I like. I will put up one of the pics the guy sent of the 78, when I find the darn files lol

Well it is now in front of the house and the guy across the street happens to know the fellow that owned it before the guy I got it from. Apparently it has had a bigger cam added to it and maybe a few other mods. He went over it for me today, aside from a leaky valve cover and oil pan, he said it looks good. Only other issue is there are two places on the floorboards that are rusted through. But that is common for Oregon, with all this damn rain lol. Not a hard fix either. I will take pics of it this weekend, maybe it covered with mud, if I find some to play in lol

More or less, and own land in the south. Not much - but it grows my tomatos and parks my trucks!
Are you by any chance Celtic?
Winds in thae trees whisper
Small animals scurry
A man strides in thae woods
Oft he winds the scent, that coombs tae him
An wanders far away from thae smoke
Lost in thae woods by choice
Lost in the world indeed...
Having no companion, off he roams on his own
Wishing ever better days
But not regretting his own
His path, his choice alone
I'm a strange man. I choose to be me, myself - in spite of others
I've read a lot of "Conan" stories, and still do
Where are you? I live in the midsouth - not far from Memphis
I believe in being strong, being yourself.
