I usually do quit while I'm behind. I wasn't frustrated though, so I kept going. I mean, the radiator was real disappointing, but the mirror bolt was just annoying. Hopefully the new radiator comes in pretty quick. I'll have the rest of the truck back together completely before it gets here I figure. Going to drive it today to test the brakes. If she doesn't spit coolant too quickly I'll run to the line, I'm just about out of pipe tobacco, only got another day and a half or so left, depending on how the day goes and I don't usually cut it that close but I've been holding off, hoping to take the truck.

Hey all.
There's going to be a swap meet at West Plains, Mo. April 4th. Rain date April 5th.
Its at Howell county fairgrounds on Hwy 63. I think that's on the north side of town.
I tried to upload the flyer a bunch of times the past few days. Got the info from the Chevy Car Club of North Arkansas, upcoming events.
Thanks.

I use FireFox and it lets me right click to take a screen shot and I can select or crop whatever I want, saves it as an image. I had too zoom way out because the plugin wouldn't let me scroll during the screen shot. Had that not worked though I would have saved it and uploaded it as an attachment. I'm almost done inside my truck. Just finished building a stock harness for my aftermarket radio. Got another mounting kit coming in that will let me use the donor bezel that hasn't been chopped to pieces, for now I'm going to use my hacked apart one, went ahead and butchered it more and cut out for the clock I added from the donor. Will probably wait until tomorrow, but I need to pull the cluster and fix the alignment on the odometer wheels and grease the speedometer cable, needle bounces pretty good. New Radiator should be in Friday, but I'm hoping since the shipping lane is so short it'll be in tomorrow. It's a long shot, but possible. I just can't remember that leg of the run exactly(I used to work at FedEx).
What we need are a list of shows/swap meets here in Arkansas, give me a chance to meet some of you guys. I haven't had much luck finding said list, but I haven't sat down and spent the day just on that.

Trucks all back together until the new radiator gets in, should be tomorrow. I can't drive it even a little, coolant falls out too fast. So I'm just sitting on my thumbs until the radiator arrives. There's a lot to be done around the place but I want all my extra parts and tools picked up before I start that.

Is anyone in any car or truck clubs or active on any other forums? I've talked to one member recently who's running a scroungers chapter, was curious what other clubs/groups are out there.

Nice, I've finally sat down to see what I can find out about active clubs in the state, Ford and otherwise so I can see if they do regular events. Just found a zombie forum, very odd. Ford Truck World - View Forums

Yeah, I was surprised at how much they have on there. I got to it on their page of Auto Clubs in Arkansas then noticed the event pages. Haven't had any luck locating other Ford groups. I know there is at least one other one for the trucks, but can't remember what it is. Maybe a Facebook thing.

New radiator is on the truck out for delivery. Not sure when it'll come through here though, don't get many packages through Fedex Express. Hope it comes in sooner rather than later.

Got the truck put back together and my daughter and I took it around town the long way. Put about 13 miles on her and she drives good. Temp gauge pegged out, but I think it's a liar.
