I don't much fancy the tires and rims, pretty pricey! I didn't know however that an 08 clip would bolt up to an older frame. Guess Ford really hasn't changed much since 1998??

G'night everyone, I gotta get up in about 6.5 hrs and take 4 hours of weapon watch. Gimme time to kill a couple of bootlegs! C y'all!

Evenin' peeps! Jim, that stinks about J-L's stuff. Have you been in touch with the neighbor that picked up the stuff or are you going to be able to get any of it from them?

Hey Nolan. I do also. On top of all of it there is 10-15K worth of tools that I had down there. I found out that when they went open that garage it was empty. Me thinks she is trying to pull something here. But that is ok because God dosen't sleep. Yet another thing that that will be put into the divorce papers. MMM I wonder what the judge will think of this stunt....................

I heard Paoli is nice. I know a quaint little place there. Good biscuits and gravy.

And I understand the heated river rocks are amazing

Jim you can file a police report and say they were stolen when you go back down there... When they ask if you have any idea who could have done it.......

Well, guys today was a pretty good day.

This morning we went and picked up the 95 7.3 Stroker.

Currently it is SRW we want to convert it to DRW. It has a service box and ladder rack right now, but we want to pull the box and put on a flatbed.

As we were going past the trailer dealership today we saw that they had brand new flatbed bodies out in front of the showroom. We stopped in and it was 4200 dollars for a new flatbed body. Black powder coating on a diamond plate bed with side skirts and two underbody toolboxes on either side plus it has a plate that folds up to show a pocket for a gooseneck ball. It also has a nice headache rack.

I want to order one in that is set up that way, but with LEDs instead of regular bulbs. Mainly because those dopes already bent the body they had in stock.

The drivers side rear wheel is shot and so are the studs. The lug nuts were loose and the P/O never noticed so the rim and studs are completely shot.

We want to get the cab repainted since it has a little rust. We'll paint it red again with a black flatbed. I think it'll look pretty sharp.

I got it washed, I washed dad's truck, and I washed my truck. I had to charge my batteries first. I couldn't get the beast to start til I did.

How was everyone else's day?

Edit: Found a picture of the body on their website:
http://www.cmtruckbeds.com/pages/sk_model.html

The one the dealership has is now bent around the wheel well. We'll see if we can get em to knock a few hundred off the price or get a new one in. Depends on how much they're willing to discount it.
