I've come to the conclusion, once I'm caught up from the work I arranged while my son worked for me, I'm playing with my cars for a while.

 

dont think i will never get caught up.. in fact i think i just bought a 1970 high boy f250.. now i can get rid of that ugly azz 84 i have been driving.... right after i get the FE rebuilt for it.. ha ha ha ha ha ..

 

good wet morning missouri.. dont know about my plans for the day yet.. will depend on how long it takes my help to get here, or if they get here.. have to plan a trip to oklahoma city soon to pick up my new bump..

bed looks fairly solid


been used but still kinda straight


looks like my flat bump in there


love the divorced tranfer case.. gives me more options

 

Good morning folks. RC cool ride like you need ANOTHER project..said the guy with to many of his own. lol

 

I relish the idea

 

That's awesome RC!

 

Good Morning Everybody!

RC. I thought you weren't going to buy any more projects?!

I might be daily driverless if this guy comes through on the trade. I'll know this weekend. I'm supposed to be trading Alice for a Freightliner single axle, day cab tractor. THAT should pull my trailer decently. I guess we'll see, though. I'm done counting on people and then being disappointed. I'm going to concentrate on getting the truck ready to perform, then I'll worry about the hauler next week. I have a couple back up plans to get the truck up to Pacific if everything else falls through.

 

dont worry alan we will help you get it there... i think i have a pindle hitch at the yard.. a little welding and a stout clutch leg could get the bus there....

i didnt get anything important done today.. my helpers never showed up.. i may have to give up on them, unless they have a real good excuse

 

i almost forgot... i need you to make me one of these alan.. wanna use it for a door stop......
down

 

Evening All!

RC. You cut the pieces and fit them, I'll weld it up.

I got new front shocks on Alice today. I thought the old ones were bad. It turns out the trucks are doing a number on Hwy 14 between Sparta and Ozark. It still bounced and vibrated with the new shocks, so after going to Nixa to help Bob load a few things, I realized it was the road, not my truck. ...oh well, at least it has new shocks now. I may try to tackle the pinion seal next.

I got the grass cut push mowed and trimmed, but I am WIPED. OUT!

 

I drove ol blue to work then town for an errand, no issues. On the way home after work it decided to pop a leak at the water pump/heater hose line (right at the clamp on the water pump) and sprayed antifreeze all over the motor. I got lucky with a road side repair, and double lucky that a buddy stopped with a big container of water on his truck. Topped it off and back on the road to the house.

Moral of the story...when stuff sets it get dry rotted/weather checked, so check your lines and hoses on them rides with some age on them. Then again I might of been gouging on ol blue a bit on the way home too.

 

that is why i always drive new trucks........... ha ha ha ha ha ha

 

RC, been a while since I saw a rockwell transfer case. Good looking truck.

 

good morning missouri.. i thought this place would be jumping by now....

 

Oh it is for sure now...jump jump. Morning folks.
