Made the deal on the 4 53/6 parts trucks, just have to get all the many pieces home now.

 

Your gonna need to get a bigger section of land to store all your trucks. Aren't you running out of buildings to park them behind?

 

No, haven`t run out yet as there is lots of land and buildings even some trees. Good to go for a while but hate to see the person that has to clean up after me.

 

We will help you Fomoko1, right guys!

 

Just knowing that will help me to get some sleep tonite. These trucks are closer to you then me. You could bring one into town on your way to work.

 

We'll help you but some parts might fall of the truck on the way.

 

That could case more sleep loss.

 

Right now I have a 1997 ford 4x4 supercab shortbox 4.6 liter auto, 1991 ford supercab shortbox 4x4 302 aod, 1989 ford 1/2 ton rec cab reg box 302 5 speed, and a 2001 jeep grand cherokee. And I am looking for a older truck to fix , as the new ones just dont have the style the oldies had

 

Hello all,
I stop in once in awhile to see what's new with with the gang a little west of me. Much like Fomoko I have a field of goodies that are mostly parts trucks from 66 to 96. Below are ones that I have kicking around.

1955 F100 - 272 - original condition, repainted, needs it again
1965 Dumptruck - 352 - great original condition
1966 Custom Cab long box - no motor
1974 F100 - 390 auto, XLT, short box - This one is our baby
1981 F150 - 300 Std, shortbox - Got me through school
1986 Mustang Gt - 5.0 std, convertible - snappy and fun
1999 Ford Taurus - my wife's car
2001 F150 "7700" - 5.4 auto - this is our work horse


In the yard
1973 F100 - 390 auto - the donor truck
1974 F250 extended cab - 390 auto - yes another donor truck
2 - 1979's - one is F100 the other F250XLT - 351M auto's - more donors can you ever get enough
3 - 1980-86 Stepsides, Yes three of them, one is 4X4 the other 2 are 2WD
1982 F100 Extended cab - 300 auto
3- 1987-91 long boxes, one is F250 4X4 that is the yard truck, other 2 are 2WD
1996 Ford Taurus - runs fine but high Km's its a donor

My 2 favorites are a 1991 Toyota Corolla and a 1988 Chev Celebrity. I call them the Targets. My yard truck has a big ole bumper on it and that 3/4 tons shows the lil Corolla no mercy. To its credit it still runs but in my last duel the clutch gave out so it will be on its way to the tin can factory soon. I can hear that celebrity shaking as we speak it's next.

Thanks for dropping in to our chapter truckfarmingcanuck. How is your weather? We are getting a real taste of winter with first freezing rain and then some snow.
Sounds like you have a large lot for all your neat toys.
Merry Xmas and drop in again, will check out your chapter.

 

How about that huge load of snow yesterday?!

 

Didn`t make my day but it is Dec. so guess it is time for the whute stuff.

 

It's been cold for us out here. We are getting Feb weather in December which sucks. My truck showed -24 on the thermometer this morning. No freezing rain which I guess is a god thing, and about 6-8" of snow so far.

Hope you folks have a safe and happy holiday as well

Right now tonight, the temp reads minus 19, with the wind it feels like minus 25.

 

I have a 1957 Ford 3/4 ton with a 292 in the shop. Three on the tree. Hydralic cluch. I bought it last July at a sale near Hepburn where there were 150 cars/ trucks. It was at a Keith Mireau auction I think. It will be red and white in colour. However there are several others Ford and others.
