RockyTulsa, ya we can talk about anything in the chat that's what it is for. I don't want to hear about your trying to go blind I know some of these trucks are sexy, but try to control yourself.

Fordzilla, I know what you mean, That is about the only thing that really pisses me off is lack of respect for others and their property. Now me damaging my person and my property is just funny, I paid for it so I can break it

Exactly.The other day I went after a hornet flyin round my truck tryin to make a nest.Smacked it with a broom,and managed to make a small dent in one of my moldings.Can't blame anyone but myself.If someone else had dented it,I wouldn't be so happy.

Fordzilla that's funny. It reminds of something that happened to me, I bought a car and was going to pick it up the next day, when I got there the windshield was broken. I asked the guy what happened, he said he saw a spider and all he had was a hard hat. His wife said he squealed like a little girl too.

bghnkinf250, um I was trying to look tough?? I think I just look constipated. No my brother took the picture I said let me know when your ready and I ended up smiling after he took the picture, my brothers and I are always messing with eachother. What's funny is I'm the oldest, but the smallest so my brothers play tug-o-war with me. I weigh about 180 pounds and both my brothers are over 300 pounds. So I get my payback when they are drunk The ole hand in the warm cup of water never gets old. Or the latest we did to a friend is he woke up with an inflatable sheep and a dozen ping pong *****.

lol.That Hornet got itself a one way trip across the concrete on the bottom of my boot.

When I got my truck,the driver's side window was shattered.It was intact the day before.Some kids thought it'd be a good target.Took me awhile to clean all the glass out.I still get cut up sometimes when I drop stuff on the bottom of the door and feel around and hit glass shards.

I get tree frogs all the time on the door sills in my truck,they get whatever happens to be in the bed of the truck.lol.Some think it's smart to jump inside the truck.Black interior=Sizzle=Dead Frog

I had a 87 Ramcharger that I busted the drivers side rear window out of off-roading (Ramchargers are NOT meant for Jeep trails). Even two years later when I sold the truck I was still finding glass in it. And always found it in weird places. So after you bake the frog in your truck do you eat frog legs?

I ended up with a Bronco with a shattered rear window. I went to the junkyard and got a replacement. A few days later, as I was trying to wire it, the glass was half way down. I went to shut the tailgate - and now I had 2x as many glass shards floating around the back!

The Ramcharger I had was used almost exclusively for off-road so I just put a piece of aluminum and blue rtv and sheetmetal screws and I had a new "window". I now know not to drive a 6000 pound truck on the side of a hill on a Jeep trail, it's just not wide enough and down the hill you go. How I didn't roll it was amazing, I never got scared either, was just kinda like now what's going to break? Off-roading is not kind to vehicles, you get to break some interesting things.

bghnkinf250 you like the sheep thing? My brothers and I do some crazy stuff especially if all three of us are together, stuff gets broke or lit on fire.

Well I got the engine out of my 68 and am ready to put the other engine in tomorrow. Unfortunately I will not be able to store my engines where I would like as I don't have the equipment to do so. So I need to make more room in the overfull shed. Which means more stuff needs to go then I would like, sigh. So as much as I don't want to it looks like I'm going to sell all my 67-72 Ford pickup parts, all my 64-66 Chevy truck parts and engines. All my 64 Chevelle parts and engines, all my Fairmont/Zephyr parts, and sadly all my Aspen/Volare parts, and even more sadly some of my 65-66 Full-size Mercury parts. Now comes the fun part of moving, and identifying all the parts tagging them and pricing them. And they all need to be moved tagged and sold within the month, so much for sleeping How did I end up with so much stuff, it's quite overwhelming. I know I'll be kicking myself hard later for getting rid of some of this stuff, just don't know what else to do.

Okay so on the history channel there is a tv show called, "Pawn Stars". Its about a pawn shop thats located in Las Vegas so they see all kinds of things at the shop there. Well some dude in his 20's comes in and shows them his 1967 F-100 that he had fixed up and wanted to sell. The guy rebuilt everything and put 8,000 into the engine alone. So the guys like i just want some of my money back and will sell it to you for 4,000. I'm thinkin well hell thats a pretty good deal. Turns out the scum bag people that work there wouldn't give him that much and offered him 2,500. An guess what? He freakin took the offer!! I was just like whaaaaaat, a , *******sssss. ID LOVE to pick that truck up for 2500.

On the good note, i just ordered around 400 bucks worth of truck parts i get to put on this week!! Whoop whoop. Also was able to find me a 1981 light truck "engine" manual for my truck for only 6 dollars off ebay. Im pretty happy with my buys this week.
