Still working on getting settled in and gettin my phone to like the site.

I have been at Ollmanns Aiutomotive Since 2008. And have worked on vehicles for both.

no thank u their tires are a pain in my butt. and get ripped off the 450s as soon as I can justify it.

No its suppose to power my winch but I lost my front hitch to an intercooler. So till I can get a bumper it just sits there looking lonely. I have seen the thread just trying to get settled in first.

Not automotive. Industrial hose, hydraulic hose, V-belts, conveyor belt.

Hey everyone,

New member currently at Fort Leonard Wood. I just bought a 1973 F100 4x4, 360, 4spd, A/C, with about 120k miles. I'll be refreshing things including power steering.

I posted about the truck here:

Thanks everyone.

I'm heading out on a trip Mon for about 6 weeks and when I get back I will start mechanical freshening up. I will continue to preserve the body.

First order is to get the power steering fixed so it isn't leaking so bad. Have to decide to repair the existing system, possibly replacing the control valve assembly and cylinder, or going with a new system like Benchwork.

Been a while since I was traveling for work so much. Paying well is nice. Does make it a little difficult to get projects done while gone .

This trip for me will be personal, part motorcycle trip, part camper van trip, part son graduation from college trip, etc.

Welcome to the Forum! I'm always glad to see another member in my neck of the woods. I'm just west of the Fort in Laquey and am the proud owner of the world's slowest project truck - a '71 F-100.
