Ford vans had the same basic body line up to 1990, as a result, I've had that body line on most of my vehicles as I drove a cube van as my daily driver for about 20 years. I like that Bumpside spear as it's limited to trucks only and can be dressed up in a lot of different ways. The front end grill work on the 78 F series with round lights is one of the nicest front ends I've seen, especially if your running a hood without the F O R D lettering

I'll be placing the order tomorrow morning so I'll know what the shipped cost is in both dollars, will post it and where I got them

Good morning everyone, it's been raining steady since around midnight , may as well get rid of most of the precipitation before it turns cold enough to turn to snow..

Good morning folks
We're getting that crap snow, sleet, rain that you get when the temp is at 0 +,- 1
About to order my spring, just finishing my coffee first, the inhalers dry out and shrink my throat a bit, so I don't talk on the phone until I know it sounds like I'm not speaking some alien language. LOL

Well the worst thing possible happened. My wife miscarried. She was only 9-10 ish weeks in. It's not all bad though, miscarriages means that something was wrong with the baby and it's the body's natural way of dealing with it. My wife and I are moving on quite well, no point in dwindling over it. When time comes, we'll start all over. We're young, lots of time to try agan.

Good evening folks.
That is sad news Randy, hope that all goes well with your next one.
It took me awhile to get used to vehicles newer than the late 1990`s. I also thought that the front end treatment on 78/79 Ford trucks was super cool.
We had a sunny day here, no raining or snow but it sounds like it's on the way.

We're seeing that early Calgary snow, here in the morning, gone by 3 in the afternoon.
The 78/9 was almost a cross between the Louisville front and the Starsky and Hutch Torino front end

Looks pretty cool!
By the looks of that pad lock you must be in a rough neighbourhood. It`s getting like that around here too as this past weekend a nearby farmer friend had his 05 F350 Super Duty stolen plus my renter had his garage lock cut and a few tools stolen.

Theres a goof junkie named Wayne Cater that likes to pour water and sand down my carb in December when it's -30. He's wrecked 3 of my motors so far, he's wrecked 6 or 7 in the hood, has burned a garage and trashed Tamarras house. Every one he has targetted is crippled, handicapped or terminally ill, he does it with the full support of the Calgary Police Service. It's us who are the problem, theres a Canada wide warrant for him as he was sentenced in Ottawa to 3 years in Collins bay for doing the same crap. In this hood the real terrorists wear badges and the junkies are their partners in crime, our army should be hunting them down, not ISIS. No one from ISIS has ever caused us harm, trashed our property or told us to our faces how we're subhuman, CPS and the junkies have, my crime was to shut down this house and the one next door from being junkie houses.
Still don't know the total price on this transmission but it appears to be cheaper than I thought, will know when the bank acct balance changes
