Speaking of which if anyone comes across a good 9" rear end that will fit a 65-66 Mustang, please let me know.

I'd be willing to see how the trucks do against each other if you're willing

I still have to laugh at people that bitch about the mileage they get with these trucks after tuning them. I get a consistent 17-18 MPG (hand calculated) unloaded on the highway and that's running it between 120-130km/hr. Not bad for a 9000lb truck that will tow a house and can clean up almost every vehicle I've come across.

Also thanks to the other members for the welcome. I'll get some pics of the Stang posted up in a couple days and GIGGER I'll have to see what the wife says, haha

Morning ya all!

I for one would love to see a diesel race!

Im out though, with the few "go fast" mods my truck has, the only race I have a chance to win is a race to the highest kms haha.

Just got our Internet up. A honey wagon with a boom took out the hydro wires off 7 poles on the service road out front of our terminal. I guess he forgot to put the boom down. Lost power yesterday from 8:30 am till 11am, we hooked up a generator about 9:30 am to just power the phones and computers, no lites, had too work by flashlite. Then at 3pm yesterday our internet went down. Our whole operation depends on the net, so it was pretty boring around here for a while.

I can just imagine what a problem having both the internet and the phones down would be for you.

Morris: It's pure hell when you lose your internet alone in this bussiness. In the old day's You just relied on a phone list and phone, my phone list is on my computer so when it's down I'm in trouble.

Same here, my phone list, addresses and other contact info is on my puter.
I can remember times when our rural overhead phone lines would often go down in the winters.
