Ches, ha thanks for the concern, I should get to leave here on the 17th April, getting into Canada on the 18th, then drive to Mo.
Should not have to leave till the 10th May to go back, but what ever works for the "group".

May 2 sounds great to me, but do not plan it all around my chances of getting outa Afghanistan, I am planning on being home, but.....
I use to live 10 min from that park on the Hollister side, my dad worked at Table Rock dam for years. They got a nice pavillion there, not to sure how to go about reserving it?
Unk Bob will ol Kabluie be ready, we can road trip together south bound. Ha everyone else put in your request on Ford truck parts, I'll hit the local yard and haul them down.
The pics are a typical day at the office, yes its a blast!!

Well shoot I have nothing to trade.
What I need is bumper head lite surrounds and well most everything to fix the front of truck. I rearended a woman on 44 so the front of truck is wrecked. It's a 92. And I also need a 5.8 engine for my 93. I threw a rod a few months back. I found a place in the yellow pages that wants 2,200 for the engine and put it in.

I will ck the yard for a 92 front clip and a 5.8, they mostly have 70-80ish fords ,some newer stuff once in a while.
But I do remember a 90ish ford (red) with the motor and a good front clip, I will ck the year when I get back stateside.
Have you ck'd "stutzmans (sp)" in Highlandville, right off 65 Hwy. In the yellow pages, I'm sure. They have alot of new stuff, but have changed to a "we'll go get it for you yard", that takes all the fun outa it.
Try "Clements" in Branson, they have been there for years. If not Harrison Ark, has a bunch of yards. I'll be back home around mid April, til then hang in there.

Its all on me, If I am there, as long as I do not have to provide and cook the steaks, like last time. LOL If you can cover any up front fee regristiation fees, I will pay you when my ol FORD hits the parking lot.
May 2nd will work great for me, once again as long I get outa this damn country,and in my home state, count me and Penny in. I will drive what ever I got running with legal tags, and a tank of gas.
As far as picnic tables, I got a tail gate that will hold my cooler and a few friend's. Ha there, you up north boy's are you all heading this way? Terry? UnKboB will kabluie be ready to roll?

Hey Ches, let me know and I'll go in on this. Rich...... Buddy you're money is no good here. You and Penny fed everybody last time, still upset I didn't make it last summer. But after we put my dog down that week, it really kicked my azz.
Ches do you still have my cell? Let me know where we can meet and I'm in. Not sure if Ka'Bluey will make it or not. Will trade somebody for a smaller carb. I ran the numbers and what's on there is atleast a 750cfm, still clean Edlebrock 4bbl. Will straight trade for a nice 600/650 edlebrock, maybe a Holley that dosen't need anything.
Still haven't done the oil pump, it's in the box somewhere in the garage. But I did get all 4 ball joints done last weekend on the 01. Got tires on the back of the RV, and it passed state inspection (cause I know somebody) so Ka'bluey sets in the backyard. Needs a set of hotter plugs, may even unhook the electric fuel pump, maybe it's pushint too much fuel. Just loads up. worse when setting in traffic abit, and with the construction on 14 hiway in Ozark, there's plenty.
Rich keep youre head down son. See you in a few weeks.
