I take it this is the BS thread? I'm new around here, picked up my first pickup, a '65 F100 that will be a bit of a project. Not a restoration by any means, but I'll clean it up and make it a nice reliable truck again. Originally a ND farm truck, solid everywhere it counts.
What a terrific day out there. Too bad I am cooped up in here...
It sure is nice out there! Not too often I have been able to work in November with the shop doors open.

Welcome Glen! Nice truck! Looks really solid from what I can tell in the pic.

Nice looking truck Glen! Welcome to the BS thread. Might want to put your boots on, gets kinda deep in here.
Nice hunt! Wait I thought you were going back to October!
Well the weather is nice here in November so I will stick around. Took a cruise with the kids in the Stang. Top was down of course and the kids loved it.
Welcome to the Minnesota family Glen!!! Love the truck!
I guess I missed the post about your wife Rodney... Best wishes for a successful surgery and fast recovery!!!!
Update---
I'm writing this from the comfort of our camper in a campground about a mile from the Texas Motor Speedway (NASCAR track) in Roanoke TX. We got here just after dark and have to tell you that backing this 58' long monster up in the dark is a real treat!
Okay - lets back up the bus and I'll fill you in on last night's fun! We stayed a Walmart Supercenter parking lot in Olathe Kansas. Sam Walton had made it possible for travelers to stop and rest the night in his parking lots. Most Walmarts still observe this rule and the one we stayed at was no exception.
When we pulled in to the back of the lot, we were all alone. I posted our update just before three 18 wheeler drivers pulled in on either side of us. Once they shut their engines down, things were pretty quiet except for all the street traffic... About an hour later engines started running again as they were probably getting cold and needed heat. We did not need heat but sure could have used some peace and quiet. Between Dar and I, I think we got maybe 6-7 hours total rest. Bleh!
Sunrise at Walmart in Olathe was beautiful. The trucks all pulled out about an hour earlier..
Got the rig scaled today.. We had weighed the truck by itself earlier at 9260, but have added about 140# of gear and supplies.
Here's a shot of the rig in the campground in Roanoke TX... Sort of a crummy spot, but it's better than a Walmart lot right now...

I may seem a bit grumpy but I'm sure tomorrow will be a great day!!!
