Good morning everyone. With the weather being crappy the last couple days I've been working in the shop. Finally got the steel flatbed from the parts truck I bought last fall mounted on my 91 diesel. Maybe I'll post a photo of it tonight.
Hope you're all staying warm today. At 5* at least there's no mud!

Here's what I've been working on the last couple days. Removed the box from my 91 diesel which the floor had rusted out of and installed flatbed.
Last fall I picked up an 89 F250 with a bad engine and body rot for $400, mainly wanted the steel flatbed which is still in good shape. Also got nice
10" wooden side racks and endgate to go with it. So far I've transplanted from the parts truck onto my old diesel the flatbed, running boards, tilt column, and wiper motor.

Thanks Jack. Back in my younger days I used to turn wrenches on the side, farming during the day and wrenching in my shop half the night. Quit doing that about 10-12 years ago, burning the candle at both ends does indeed catch up with you. Now it's all I can do to keep my own junk going.
