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.

Well we looked over the hitch this weekend, going to have to pull the roll pan off and do some mods to get the hitch behind that roll pan.

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.
