..So, gosh, I'd better get me a Super Duty to pull that!! Nah, just kidding! She knew I wanted one for years. And she realized that we needed one for the room on vacations,with 5 of us.
So, all you have to do Jerry, is run out and buy a boat that's just a little too much for the 79 to pull!!

Randy, I'll try that out tonight! Jerry, I did mine in sort of reverse order. I convinced her that we should buy a boat, and after we had the boat, figured out that the 97 wouldn't pull it very well...Gee, never figured on that....So, gosh, I'd better get me a Super Duty to pull that!!

Afternoon everyone.... woo hoo, I'm officially the owner of a fine 79 F150! But, the roads are melted a bit here and now it's all dirty 
I didn't realize how fun it would be to drive something with a near-new 400 and 4bbl would be
Only one glitch I can find at the moment, the blower/fan doesn't seem to work... the guy I got it from is pretty cool about little stuff, so he said he'd take care of any bugs I come across. He wanted me to do the break-in, he figured he if started driving it, someone would run into him or something.
I think I'm sick and need to leave work early... I'm pretty sure the only cure is a 100 mile drive...

Okay, Jerry. Time to resort to plan "B". Tonight when she is sleeping, just keep wispering in her ear..Excursion...Excursion....Excursion...
You can have your 6.0 and a third seat!!LOL! That's weird with your heater. I'd pull that heater core and give it a check.
