Lucky Day

Well I bought a 78 f-100 a couple months ago. I bought it for parts for $125. I took the doors off it and the new batterie cables and the dash. (probably more stuff.) Well I didn't want this old rig sitting around my shop anymore and it had a good engine that i didnt want to see go to waste. So I put it up for sale. I got a call and the guy came to look at it and asked wat i wanted so I said $300. He said he'd take it. Now that was easy money I made $175 and got parts out of the old rig. Haha part of me is going to miss it...

If you have my kind of luck next week you will need the windshield, starter, etc etc. I always need parts right after I get rid of them. Seems to happen every time. I think it is one of Murphy's laws...

Well I have a 351m so the parts off the engine (300 inline 6) aren't too much good to me.


But the engine is ready to run (only 10 000 km) except the frame is cracked.
