I did some more disassembly on the Scout today. Ugh. This thing is BAD, bad. Every brace, floor section, body mount, etc. is rotted. Lemme put it this way, the hood and the doors don't need metal work. EVERYTHING OTHER PIECE OF METAL is rotted. The bottom ten inches of the truck are MISSING. Not rotted, but gone completely. So bad in fact, that I have to guess what each piece is supposed to look like because there's not enough there to make a complete pattern. Oh boy, what I stepped in on this one.

 

The internet provider has nothing to do with it. I'm getting the same annoying **** thing.

 

Good morning everyone. First time in forever I've been up this early. I woke up at 5:45.

 

It’s a rainy day in Wentzville! Yeah the last couple of days I’ve been getting new security popups when I access FTE. I even had to prove I was a human this morning.

I see you passed

 

Had my granddaughter “fix it” she’s 4.

 

Good Morning Everybody!

Gonna load up a trailer and head north. I'm restocking my large parts pile. I'm getting a cab and front clip today. The last time I spent $450 on a dentside, I drove it home. The prices have gotten out of control lately.

 

This from the moderator of the 7.3 forum...

Typically the webservice host will prompt users or visitors of the FTE for this when there is an attack or a problem of some sort happening on the server/servers. This attack or problem may not even be targeted to FTE, but since FTE is hosted via a large web service host, they "check" all of their customers. Most large companies have something like this to include Amazon, Walmart, Microsoft, Apple, etc...

Kind of like putting an extra layer of authentication on a web page request from the remote user. A second line of defense during a situation that would call for one.

It will go away soon.

 

Good morning all, part of today and tomorrow, time's up on the Camero. Same thing the 20th for the Chevelle.

 

Evening all.

 

rjdj1186 thanks for the info. I have been off grid while traveling...I am now setting in a hotel room in Dubai.

Alan is it this bad? Poor bump side...

 

Alan can have that looking like new in no time.

Glad you’ve got the first leg of your trip done Rich.

 

Yes it was 3 plane rides and a lot of airport walking. And alot of mask wearing all day, all the time. I start my 14 days of "solitary confinement", other hotel lock in quarantine with the real crappy food deal tomorrow. FTE'ing it secession.

 

Evening All!

I got the cab and front clip home. Now I have a nice, complete body, so if anyone knows of a '78/'79 3/4 ton 4wd chassis for sale, let me know. I can't buy a truck worth having for the money, so I'll just build one out of parts. I'll wind up with a nicer truck in the end, anyway.

 

NO my frame with the matching dana 60's is NOT for sale. Lol When I get back we can talk about the new parts truck I got though. It's a 400/4 spd.
