William get 25 posts (just type "subscribing." on a few threads to get 25 posts) & we'll swap info by PMs.

Glad you've got a fruitful hobby to come back to & we welcome your fellowship. Thanks for your service, by the way.

I'm looking for some caps, but shipping kills. Here's a little background if you haven't seen it:

Mitch, I hope you get one back some day. Glad I've held on to mine without completely ruining it.

Ok I will get my post count up. Thanks for the warm welcome by the way. You guys are a nice group to chat with.


What kind of caps are you looking for? I may be able to help with the search. (I don't do much at work, I play on the computer all day)

That thread had a link to a supplier for electrical components. I didn't search yet, I assume you have. What was the issue with them?

I hope to.....it's hard to find one in decent shape, or that's been my experience anyway. But, with the uncertainty in the oilfield right now, my priorities have shifted somewhat. I've put alot of upgrades on the Super Duty on hold, we're trying to get everything paid off, etc.....(without touching our savings) of course the mortgage is several years off

Haven't looked yet. Several other cap threads mention that shipping is ridiculous if you don't order quantity.

Radio Shack is dying/dead & the last time I asked for a banana plug at one I got a really strange look.

Can't imagine what the answer would be if I asked for 10 micro farad can style cap.

Central MS working on thirty days 95* & up temps. Close to 5 inch deficit in rain @ 1.25.

Y'all stay hydrated if humanly possible.

Our good buddy Br'er Thomas (f1504x4driver) is responsible for helping me out with the white trim grill (& polish) 150 fender emblems & was kind enough to pass along the nicer headlights.

Thanks Mitch. Its a really a 20 footer. White in pics is hard to beat.

Now all I need is about 100 more HP, Traction Lock and a nice set of under-ride traction bars.
