I don't see a post where he mentions anything about safety features like airbags, side curtains, shoulder straps, parachutes and henways!

I can't help the fact that these old trucks will never be safe.he has the same right to voice his opinion. He did make the comments that these trucks have no safety equipment. Also some one made the comment that I should buy a new safe truck I said that I don't have a minimum of 20000.00 and someone said that 20000.00 won't even buy a new safe truck .so now I have a old truck that I like and these old trucks are just simple trucks and werent meant to be safe.so someone dies thats just too bad boo hoo.ha ha.
Apparently, ND, I mentioned something about shoulder belts now. I don't even see where I made a post about shoulder belts. I am still trying to stumble thru his run-on sentences to find where I apparently made a post on safety equipment. I have not found such a post I made as of yet, but will continue searching.

No problem with mcgI'ver comments

No problem with mcgI'ver comments. As these parts are all I have to work with .yes someday I will get the truck repainted. But right now I need another set of heads so I can get it running .I need to get out of mohave county and get to my brother in Riverside california so he can help me with my wife.but at 1000.00 to get the heads rebuilt .that is 1 year from now .so we are still stuck in mohave county with no running transportation. No luck selling the 72 f250 4x4 to get money to fix the 72 cs .and the scrappers want me to pay them to come get my scrap .why pay 100.00 to only get 100.00.

72 f250 still not fixed

I'm not using the fact that my wife is in a wheelchair for sympathy it is just a fact.
the guy who said that he would fix it took my money and said ts .and I don't have 5 to 8000 to get my motor fixed .so this is now 2021 and still no transportation.this is the price I was given just to put the top end parts back on is this a normal price just because its a 428 .

I hate that someone would take your money and not do the job. Reassembly of the top end of your engine shouldn't be more than $1000 in my opinion, doesn't matter if it's a 360 or a 427 side oiler. The tops are the same! I hope you find a good honest mechanic and get this done.
