Unk Bob, thanks for the offer. I'll cook up some steaks, you gotta bring up Shari, I'm sure her and Penny would hit it off. Also that way you gotta DD, unless you would let Tim drive. Ha Ha
I am thinking about putting the red/white 1/2 ton body on my now "extra" 3/4 ton 4x4 running gear. Would swap out the D60 to ol "red" and put "reds" D44 under it. It already has a 6" or 8" lift.
But that project is a ways down the road, hows the RC car hobbie? Ck out these 1/5 scale cars and trucks, 2 stroke 25/35 CC www.bigboystoysandhobbies ,a friend of mine has a couple of them.
Talk at you later, Rich

Hey Rich, sounds like you have some plans. Hopefully the blue truck is still running. That 400 really needs to some out, rattling, oil pressure drops to 0psi after it warms up. Everything up-top is new, ran out of money and never touched the bottom end. Really needs to happen, or find another motor that I can drop in.

note to Ford lovers: never offer to change oil filter lines on a 4.3 S10 blazer!
got all the scrap hauled off today, plus a car and a boat they should have the trailer house gone tomorrow!

Hey Ches, sounds like you have enough to do. I've done those same oil lines before, I didn't offer.......... I was told, but I was at work and was paid to do it.
looks like it's gonna be another boring day around here.

Is that bus an add on Craigslist??? Somebody has one posted every week.. I'm gonna give it a shot to post a picture of the one we bought. We drove to "Milford Mo" in a snow storm last week to look at one that really sounded good. NO WAY was that photo current, the picture was sweet, green grassy field, allt the pinstripping on the Rv was sweet. NO WAY THAT WAS A CURRENT PICTURE (again I say this).
We made the 110 mile drive, turn the last corner. and............ Son Of a 8itc4................ I hope that ain't it........................ It was......................... Tires shot, paint shot, roof literally falling in, and taking the sheet metal on the outside of the box with it.
