I've seen that thing somewhere before............ You still have that red and white 78/79??? Tim is driving me NUTS about his first car/truck. He's looking at thingsI want and can't buy myself. Still talks about you're ol' truck.
Had Ka'Bluey out abit yesterday and did some running. Sounds like I have a couple plugs fouled out. It has a 750 cfm carb........ I really think it's too big, but it was new and on there when we got the truck. I did buy a replacement floorpan for the right side. And nope haven't even started to do anything with it.
Now we have the RV to get ready to play with. "HELP ME CALGON"

Still got it, if interested, I am comtemplating putting that body on my now spare F250 frame after we swap out both axles to ol RED.
Looking around on the Mo wide craigslist, lots of engines for sale. I have that lift in the shop we can swap out what ever, to help out ol Kbluie.
Should be back in country around mid April, let me know, her are few pic for Tim.

You suck........... You didn't have to send pictures.
You have what lift to swap out for what? I do want to go taller on Ka'Bluey. I have the new oil pump in the garage, just haven't touched it obviousley, now trying to get the RV the way I want it.
Just tried to hook up two 12volt batteries in series for the power converter, and damned near blew them both up. I don't think I did something right.

Sorry hahaha, what I was trying to say is remember that chain lift/hoist in tha last bay of my barn? If you need to use it to change or pull out ol bluie's eng, its's there for you.
I know its a bit of a drive but if you had to make it a few day/week task no storage fee's will apply hahahaha, just beer charges.
Concerning my latest attachment, I'd like to have one that nice, "the truck,that is".

Yeah.. I'd like to have a couple just like that one to play with myself. Not a bad looking truck either.
I need to get off my butt and try that new oil pump I've had in the garage for months. It might do the trick. I know I have too much carb, and I went to an electric fuel pump, why I don't really know. Now the thing just loads up. Bearly got Ka'Bluey home this evenong, anad never left Ozark...

So I will post all its info on the Mo chapter classifieds. Or IM me around 09:00 Am or after Missouri time, it will be 7:30 PM Afghanistan time, same day though.
I will be happy to tell you all about it.

If you have somebody that's ready go ahead. I have to replace all four ball joints on the gold truck (01) to pass inspection to renue tags. The RV needs all 6 tires.
Our money is going to be spread around for a while.
If you still have it when we're closer, then I'd sure take it for Tim. Gotta get out the door, this is my saturday at the nut house. Have trucks to get aligned.
