We are supposed to see 9's and 10's until at least Wednesday and around the freezing point over night.
I'd love to take the trip to Red Deer but that's a work day for me. All the good stuff happens when I'm working.

65 F would be just right Jack, not too warm and not too cold.
We did have 5-10`s for afew days but that`s gone away for now.
Sounds like you have to work weekends Chris, what/where do you work?

Yes I work weekends. I work in a sawmill planer. Working weekends at least gives me a longer weekend. Starting next week I'll be putting in a couple days a week at the local wrecker. It pays for some odds and ends parts. It makes the cost of doing my truck a whole lot less. I have gotten a cab, box and a bunch of other stuff.

I'm going to start getting the 75 ready for the dismantle. Once I figure out where I'm going to do it. My wife was giving me a hard time about having crap spread all over the yard. I mentioned it to the guy at the wrecker and he said I could probably do it there. All things considered that would be the easiest for me as that's where all my other parts are.

Mmmm, 75`s are sweet! I did have alot of parts left over from my many projects but ended up giving them away to people that would get some use out of them. I still have a 72 F350 dually kicikng around, nice truck in decent shape and handy around the farm.

It does look pretty decent as a matter of fact. I do love my 75, I find the front end to be most appealing to look at. I have access to any used part I need from the wrecker as he isn't really a wrecker anymore. Just an older fellow that likes old vehicles. He does have a passion for dentsides.

You have to do what you have to do Jack and I`m glad you that two can make it work.
Thanks for the kind words on my 72, I don`t really need it but I do get some use out of it and find it hard to part with it. I`d have to give it away and I`m just not quite ready for that after bringing it back from the dead.
I`m glad you have access to parts and know someone that likes old vehicles and a passion for old Fords like we do. That certainly helps alot.
