Good Morning all. Off to argue with the bank. Made a deposit yesterday went to do some online banking this morning and there was no record of the deposit. I called them and got the "Oh we are so sorry we will put in a service ticket for you, maybe the branch that made the deposit can help you" I friggen hate Bank of America.

BOA sux. I refuse to work with them as a lender. They've screwed too many of my clients.

It's a commercial truck. It was a dump truck. They built ton and a halfs and two tons for the commercial market. Mine was owned by a small logging co. there were 3 of these trucks. The logging co was bought out by a bigger logging co and they took the stake beds, and the dump body and put it on newer trucks. So mine sat in storage for years with 9017 original miles. It was sold at auction to my uncle who let it sit in a field and I begged him for 11yrs to sell it to me. He finally did, and I'm doing a complete frame off.
yes please!
I don't want her to complain about me being vague, ya know?

LOL.
I am keeping it original as possible. It's a very sexy flathead V8... who would want to change that?!? AND it has two speed reverse... how cool is that?
I am going to put a flat oak bed on it.
The only debate is the electrical. It's a 6 volt poss system. If I convert to 12 volt neg then I'll have to put in an alternator. I like the look of a generator, but 12 volt may be more functional... *sigh* I'm torn.

With a flathead and 2 speed reverse, ya gotta keep that stuff!!
The 6v vs. 12v issue... that's a tough one. Originality is awesome, but when most tools & bulbs have been 12v for.... I don't even know how long... I know this won't be a daily driver, but still... tough call there...

Funny stuff!By the way I would go 12V. Just my own personal preference. I would have also said you should throw a modern v8 in your truck, but the more and more I hear a flathead v8, the more and more Im changing my tune. I also have a respect for an original ride, and think its very cool when one is fixed up like how it was driven back in the day.
Morning everyone else. Hope everyone has a good day today. Mine will actually be fairly boring, but sometimes I guess thats ok. Its sure nice having my new house at the stage its in right now, I actually ahve space to set up a "gym" of sorts in the basement!

Good morning!
Sheldon- the 4.3 should be great, ours is a 350 with RV cam, but you only wakeboard at 16-17 MPH. I would think the bigger concern would be the prop, our top speed with the wake prop is like 35mph. Your boat would be great, and it looks really nice. Congrats on that purchase. I remember my buddy Drew working the pipeline a few years ago, he bought a new 4.6 Mustang GT just from the OT...good job, when it was there for him.
Brendan- Let me know, it's really great here until about November..then we gotta wait the rain out to go shooting.
Dan- Good morning, I'm heading over highway 2 this weekend, hoping to take some great pics. August, September and some if not all of October is amazing. Hard place to beat isnt it?
We look to be in the upper 70's to 80's this weekend and over 90 where I am heading.
Off to work, I'll check in tonight.
EDIT- Good morning Alicia, nice to see a new avatar! I didnt look at your album but if my bro Brendan approves, well then it's all good. Good to have you.

Mornin' everyone.
I still havent been able to delete his number from my phone yet.....
Hell Id buy a boat and drive it cross country for a weekend like that haha
I wish it was mine...It's my friend from high school, the best man at my wedding and pretty much the best damn friend I could ever hope for. He brings it all the way from Oregon (6 hr drive) once or twice a year just for me and my other friends to play on. I put him up for the weekend though, buy his fuel for the truck, work on his truck, (2002 7.3) and bury him in Jack D and crown till he cant take anymore. It works.
