LA no thanks! I spent the better part of the 80's living down there, it was bad enough then, I bet it's 1000 x worse now!

Morning guys. Looks like I get another "free" day! Cat still can't find the right parts for the D5 dozer I'm working on.......

With a little luck, I should get my shortbed running today!

What are you doing to your shortbed?

I got my new carb on mine and it runs so much better and when I get the right electonic ignition from Petronix, it should be even better.

I am hoping to move a few bricks this weekend and maybe roam up into the woods for a little grouse hunting.

My build thread is here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...d-project.html

Basically I took out the 460 and installed a 300-6. The thing was scary fast and the wife wouldn't drive it, and none of my friends would ride in it with me...lol

Close....but no. The paying hunters showed up about noon and I've been busy getting them settled in. We'll see if they can get the huge 6X6 in the canyon behind my house this year......
