Well if it wasn't an extended cab SD I would, but it's going to be quite a bit of shrinkwrap to go around it 10x or so.

And it'll be hard enough to get enough time alone with his truck to wrap it let alone sit there with a hair drier.

I posted this idea I had in the club. But since a lot of my peeps don't go to the club I thought I would post it here as well. It is just an idea. I dont want to take it to the forum for my truck because they are not my family. You guys are. I figure I wont be able to post truck threads other than in tech threads so I am having my daughter look into various web site ideas. I want an FTE made truck.
ideas?

Here is my thought. I doubt I could post it anywhere but in the truck year specific forum which I hate because I like it here.
Anyway...I want everyones input on the truck, you all are my family so its only right. For example in my idea chamber.....I would ask for seat suggestions. Then out of top 5 I would let y'all choose what to go with. Mirrors, headlights etc. I would be letting y'all work on my truck from afar. It would be a joint venture. Your ideas my money and time. I respect you guys and my dad had such a love for Fords like all of you that I feel it would be only fitting.
It would be a drawn out process as money is limited. but it has been around since 59 so i dont see much of a rush. I have no intentions of keeping it original except in the engine itself. I will not leave my straight 6.
Just a thought. It is kind of nice having my favorite group of guys to help me. So what do you think?

Wolfie right now I am working the flying critter issue. There are hundreds of winged moose suckers living in on and under the truck. Once that is done and we have it off the flat bed it will be assessment time. I have a pressure washer so I may hit it inside and out with that. I should have taken it to car wash but oh well. I am removing all debris and getting my dads personal stuff back out so it doesn't get lost or ruined. Still has a pull off tab bud can crushed under seat. I will then begin the photo process. Every last inch of it will be documented. I am into journal keeping so that will start as well.
I have to add that gas tank and neck is going to be major priority. Give me your list of all catalogs to get (I have ordered about 5 but do not want to miss any)
Holland wants me to put Whiskey for my men and beer for my horses on the back.....I like that but also like Horns and Rattles. maybe moose who knows. See something else to think about.
okay shoot me some ideas

Good evening.

Moose, that is a really cool and generous offer to let us help you. I am so honored and touched I am going to change my avatar just for you.

Pete, I was never a very good prankster. Not creative enough. You need Lisa's input. I am a good smart @ss though. lol

Ehh..well I've had a night just as delightful as last night.

I took you all's advice and went and got a bug bomb for fleas. Got home, put the animals in the garage, bombed all three floors of the house and had to leave. Had to stay out of the house for 4 hours. In the meantime went to wally and spent MORE money on flea stuff, specifically some good shampoo for the animals. So we get home finally and Randy decides it'd be an awesome idea to give the dog AND the cat a bath at the same time. He throws the cat in the bath, where I already had the dog, and claws go flying, dog freaks out and jumps out and gets water all over the bathroom floor. I get the cat under control, get him washed, but as I was pulling him out, he gets a paw loose and proceeds to pierce my arm in two places and put a nice size gash on my thumb with his very, very sharp claws. It took us about 2 minutes to carefully pry his claws out of my arm. As I sit, my right arm is sore and bruised and it'll be interesting to see what THAT looks like in the morning. One of the claws made an entrance and EXIT through my arm with his claw under my skin.

Got the dog washed. Lots of fleas fell off. I am officially grossed out and wigged out. BTW medicated flea shampoo feels GREAT in an open wound.

Brought the dog crate back inside, found a live tick crawling around on the top of it.

Bout had it with this state and its bazillions of freaky *** bugs.

Have some sort of milti-colored beetle taking over the back yard and killing all of our plants. They weren't there before vacation. I guess it'll give me something to do this weekend. I can spray for bugs. Seems I have no life, I'll just spent all of my free time trying to eradicate some type of insect.

I'd make a great big gay pride sticker and put it on his truck, somewhere very visible but he won't necessarily notice it. Make it removable.

I could keep going....

Sucks about your card Cris. I'm sure it'll get cleared up soon.

Okay, now that I'm all caught up (somewhat), about these pranks.

Heavy zip ties around the drive shaft. Or duck tape about a pound of tire balancing weight to the driveshaft. Grease in the door locks.

Or, you could do what happened to SoCalQT and leave a "unit print" on the windshield.

im a freak about not having any fleas in my house. ive tried all the different things you could possibly try to get rid of them but nothing works better than getting the advantage flea killer from the vet. the little tube of stuff you put on the back of their necks. your pet is your best weapon against fleas. all the live ones dies in like 24 hours and when the eggs hatch they die the second your animal walks by and they jump on them and bite 'em. havent had fleas for years now since ive been using it. we actually only put in on them in the summertime too.
