The truck (^avatar) is mine. 100% no questions no liens. M-I-N-E MINE
Just a couple months before I'm supposed to be driving it.
Unfortunately there is nowhere good to hide it out of sight where I work and there's some enviro-nuts that get stuff there so I'm sure I'll hear about it.
Although I guess it's just as well that there's nowhere out of sight to put it. That means I can park where I can see it from the register and then I can keep an eye on it all day.
I stopped in at New Haven Body because I noticed a Ford body in there. Unfortunately it was an 05 body and they wanted 1200 bucks for it uninstalled.
I figure they'd want at least 1500 installed and that's without painting the body to match. So figure it'd be 2k before all was said and done. That's likely over half the cost of fixing the damage on my truck and getting a complete re-paint.

Nice Truck Pete...
I started out with a 1972 F-100 and a 1967 Chevy C-30 Dump truck
My Car was a 1972 Plymouth Fury that was an ex State cruiser..
The pick up was my Primary rig

Thanks, Sean.
Yea. I've got a Jeep and a 6.0 at my disposal right now if I need them. Both registered and good to go.
If it's not necessary to be registered: Jeep, my SD, the 6.0, and the 95 7.3 PowerStroke.
The 95 is going to get a new flatbed body and a plow. It should get repainted and have the fenders re-skinned.
My truck needs the right rear quarter-panel and the tailgate worked on and the whole truck painted. I don't have the money to do it now though.

Fine.
Thank you for asking Sean.
Went and did the therapy dog thing after work w/ Tina (in my avatar)
She loves children. Much more than the Hospice.
I have to be very conscious NOT to ask "How are you" when visiting an institution.
It's really hard because it's so subconscious....

I can understand that one...
I spent the day in the Dr.s office in Boston and listening to him saying that I need to go under the knife..
Scares the hell right out of me and I have a lot of thinking to do

Finally found the May B/S thread, so improperly named. It seems at this hour, I'm the only one here. I am at work (6pm to 6am 6 days a week) on temporary assignment in Virginia's Surry Nuclear Plant. Been here three weeks so far. Hotel life sucks, but so does 72 hours a week. I have sundays off, so last sunday I went to see the new Wolverine (from the X Men) movie. Thought it was good. Next Sunday I'm going to a 3D theater at the space and science museum to see a Star Trek movie. That should be good to. Anyone have any plans for the summer??? The wife and I are going to three rock concerts, AC/DC, Nickleback and Godsmack. Looking forward to seeing AC/DC. Read some review of their recent concerts, and it seems they still rock. AC/DC has released a new CD, but only in Walmart, what's up with that??? OK, now you know I'm not really working, but waiting. At 0030 hrs, I will dress in modestes and to the RadControl and dress out in a paper suit and enter the containment bldg for environment readings and paint thickness readings. It's close to 85 degrees in there, this northern boy starts to melt above 60 degrees F. Am I boring you, cause you know I'm bored to tears.
