Thanks, I flat ck them before I remove them, it is just the angle of the pic. As far as the sport wheel, I hope it cleans up well, it is pretty rusty. Any suggestions on the best way to clean it up?

 

Again, best wishes for you and Moms..........

 

I remember somebody had a post saying that they used WD40 and aluminum foil to scrub off the surface rust. Might be worth a shot on an old piece to ensure that you're not scratching the chrome.

 

Rust, patina, rust, patina, it's a viscious cycle, which one is it. Could always sand and steel wool it and paint the wheel black.

Glad mom's out and about, get her out walking, breathing and laughing, it'll do them lungs a world of good. Get rid of the people who think she needs rest and do everything for her, they mean well but she needs that exercise. It only hurts for the first 2 or 3 days and then you start to feel so good, it's about the only reason I'm still kickin. Give her our best wishes.

 

That and Peanut butter work well.

 

I hate being so mad at a truck that I almost wanted to set it on fire.....damn blue truck.

 

Uh-oh what happened Rich? The last truck I had that go to me like that got traded. And that was my 98 Expy.

 

P.S. How's mom doing Rich?

 

I am still having carb/relibality issues with the blue truck, and just getting frustrated about it. There is a chance it might just be put in the classifieds here rear soon.

Mom is out of the hospital, back at here place and on the mend, thanks for asking.

 

What years of cabs will fit on a 1978 F150?

 

73-79 for the most part, there might be some rear cross member bolt locations differences and some differences in wiring in the 73-77 cabs.

If you have a 78 truck easiest deal is to locate another late 77 to 79 cab, should be drop on, bolt on and plug and play as far as wiring.

Remember to get the "warrenty" tag riveted to you dvrs side door edge if you get a complete cab with doors to swap.

 

Sweet, thanks very much.

 

Donuts run with my sweetie.

 

Finally at it's new home!

 

Like the front half of the truck, the back half has me scratching my skull. Boat hull kicks azz.

Neighbors sidewalk is done, drywell is pretty much done, just need to get another couple of wheel barrows of washed rock donated by Mcdonalds. Ranch would be done but I'm supposed to train someone to run minihoe and bobcat, won't waste my time training someone on equipment if they don't know the difference between a shovel and a rake, quite literally.

What do you do when you live in a town where a third of the population suffers from multi generational fetal alchohol syndrome to the point where it's become genetic. You shake your head, laugh and walk away laughing as you realize the joke your laughing at thinks being a mindless moron is a sign of intelligence.
Me to Shawn jr. " be careful with that trowel, it's pretty much sharp enough to shave with".
A minute later Shawn's Uncle is in my face holding my trowel acting like he's shaving " Look you brain dead moron, I'm shaving with your trowel, why isn't it working, you can't shave with this you goof. uugh I'm bleeding" Genius stuck 37 stitches in the right side of his face. The guy left the yard he was in to come into the yard I'm working in to show off that he's a mindless idiot in front of 3 complete strangers. According to Shawn, his uncle told the hospital that he was attacked by someone with a butcher knife. They got the truth out of Shawn as there were 5 witnesses to what happened and the kid lives in the hood and his uncle doesn't
I've lived all across Canada and have been treated with respect every place I've lived, except in Calgary. Theres some really good people and things about this town, but a third of the people are some of the worst brain dead morons you will ever encounter. There must be a big inbreeding program in this town or maybe they are saving their gene pool from outside genetics.

Anyway, got my winter money for now and it's time to do my crap, er projects. Happy days are here again and I'm looking for another truck.
