If i ever feel a need to see white stuff, I look at a clean sheet of paper.

 

Finished off getting the snow out of the yard and moved the truck over a bit so that there's room for the 48 to go beside it. I'm thinking that it'll be easier to swap the cab across than to swap any thing else, the track width on the 250 is narrower than the 1 ton front end and as long as I don't stick fat tires on it the front end won't look to strange, there may be an offset rim that can narrow the tire offset by an inch on both sides if need be but I'm not to worried about it at this time.

Tomorrow is empty out the garage day so that I can move around a bit better and maybe start adding some more lights.

 

Well the day didn't take all the snow away but about 90% is gone, will see what we wake up to tomorrow..lol

 

Well, that didn`t take long before another orphan truck will come down my driveway. I just bought a local F-600 parts truck with some history behind it.
Living here on the prairies we get that white junk every darn winter.
What yr is the truck you`re putting the 48 on to Perry? I replaced all my shop lights with LED lights last winter.
Hopefully snow here today and gone John, this is way too early for snow.

 

Evening y'all... it was a warm and humid night at work..

 

At least it didn`t rain Steve.

 

I'm putting the 48 onto a 75 F250 as it has the twin I beam and swaybar front suspension, it has a 390in it but unfortunately it has an automatic behind it.

 

Nothing wrong with a C6, some days I get a bit tired of always shifting gears in city driving.

 

That is true Morris..

sounds interesting Perry..

 

Up until now the only automatics I've had were in cube vans and a Brigadier Top Kick and I never liked them, I was raised on pushing gears or as is sometimes said, walking while I drive.

 

Good morning M&S, Morris, Perry, Grant, John and wandering visitors..

I used to like stick shifts but got lazy.. I have paddle shift in my SHO and haven't even tried it on the 7 months I have had the car..

 

Good morning everyone..

 

Good morning John, Steve, Perry, Grant, Shaun and all who lurk here.
Are you all done shovelling snow Perry?
I drive either without thinking whether it`s the 13 speed in my gravel truck, 6 speed in my Mustang or the AOD in my F150. Having said that I`d hate an auto in my gravel truck as I imagine it would be way under powered.
How`s your weather today Steve, still nice and warm?
What`s in your plans John?

 

I learned how to drive like most farm kids back in the late 60s and that was in an old flat head Dodge truck, wasn't allowed to use the forward gears until I learned how to go backwards without hitting anything and knew how to hitch up a trailer or piece of equipment first. Getting on and off a field was the safety aspect and not doing damage to the equipment or crops was the responsibility part. When I was a kid, paddle shift was a strap to the azz. lol.

 

Since I didn`t do it often it took me a while to back up with a trailer for any distance.
