Middle Kingdom Run

How about a run down to Santa Maria next summer? The second week of August? Maybe a campout on one of the beaches south of San Louis for the family, and joining Ed and the Pickups limited group for the truck show at the Elks show?

If we all make a firm commitment now and plan ahead, we can get a good turn out. Say we all agree to bring our projects - drive them if possible, otherwise trailer them.

Anyone interested?

For those on the Nevada side, Alan and I will be meeting for Speed Week the week before this - you would be welcome to join us on the Salt Flats.

Sounds like a plan. Going to the coast and getting away from the blistering heat around here during the summer is an appealing idea. Count me in.

I'll tell ya, if I have rhe '36's rubber rolling, count me in.

I have a line on a '89 5.0 with AOD attached, all accessories and the EFI setup (no wiring though) for 500.00. Engine is out of a Lincoln with 74K on it.

Count me in )

By then I will have two Ford pickups, as my brother is going to give me his 87 Ranger 2.3L with a manual trans.

If you don't, we will load it onto a trailer or even my dolly - - -

Once we all decide to do this, a non-running project will not be an acceptable excuse for not showing up!


There has been some talk about quads and sand rails - this is the time and place for them!

Good show - You can not have too many trucks! ! !

I have been keeping my eyes on a 50 F1 - it is just a shell, but I was wondering if I could mount that body onto a ranger. But then I have a yard full of good ideas that need finishing!

I'm told an F1 fits a Ranger frame pretty well. Put a 5.0 in it...
