March 5th is the KC g2g. March 12th is an RRORC and KCX meet-n-greet in KC then the Wichita g2g that night. March 19th is an event with my sons in Waynoka OK playing in the sand. Maybe a CAS on Sunday the 20th. That puts us at the 26th and 27th. Might do another shoot at Topeka on the 27th. So we are into April. I have my big trip to Utah in April and may leave as early as the 8th. Clint's (74 Bronco) birthday is the 4th. So it looks like it will be May before I have time and might even have a dollar or two left for another camping trip.

I am up for going again any time. In fact I conned the family into meeting at my sisters (just a stones through away) for Easter. That way I can sneak off and see if I can break the other side of the truck.

I don't know if we'll be in town, but if we are, maybe I can talk my son-in-law into bringing their Scout up there. He is excited about trying it on the rocks. It needs a little work first. Then when it is fixed, we can break it again.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT Don't know if I can do this or not but I found these on e-bay. I don't know the guy but I sent a message to the guy asking about the 84/85. Vin says its an 84. He list it as both an 84 and an 85. Just wonder if it's a mix. If someone is looking for a BII Tuttle rig this might just work for you. And he's not too far away. Chapman, KS.

I sent another message to the guy asking if I could look at them tomorrow. I'm headed up to Junction City tomorrow morning. If he responds I'll post tomorrow before I head out. The 84/5 2.8 had an electronic feed back carb and distributor. Very expensive and troublesome arangement. Common mod is to convert to the 78 Mustang/Capri Dura Spark ignition and std. 2bl carb. If it is an 84 it should have the C-5 auto tranny. Since the guy says the 88 needs a motor, might be he planed to use the c-5 auto out of the 84 and put a FI V-8 in the 88. I have "JR." so I don't need another. But if I can help someone else it won't be out of my way.

What time you heading out if you can look at it. I was planning on going to Randolf and meet up with the TK guys in the morning but JC isn't to far away and Chapman isn't either. I am interested in them and the price isn't to bad if they aren't a total POS. Might be able to save a little wear and tear on the 02 plus between the 3 should be able to make 2 fairly easy. I still have a 302 around. Might need a trailer though to get them home.
Plus I will be going to Wichita sat night and staying so I will catch up to you on Sunday.

I'm out the door now and still haven't received a response. So no way I can look at them. I'm going to BigSwedes place in JC to get his 86 ready to sell then we are going to KC for Cabela's and Jack Stack BBQ tonight. See ya tomorrow. Sorry to miss everyone tonight. Clint said he is going to make it though.
