Well if I can find a used turbo for my 7.3 IDI that will be my first major spring project. And yes I was out today looking over the camper... can't wait to load that thing up and go in the newer truck.

Spring time is the time that I start getting the race cars ready for the season. I have one to replace the front axle and redo the body work and paint. One other to paint, but I thing the others should be ready to go, I will see.

This year I'm getting my '45 back on the road and maybe the '47 as well. I have a few other projects but they are another brand.

I guess I will have to figure just what parts that are need to fix the coolant leak on my pick up, It's so much having a vehicle that been modified and tweaked and I don't know.

Sounds like fun, I wish I had a F350 for pulling my 20 trailer with the toys in it, tow it with my Bronco.
