Yeah thats crazy isn't it? I mean I know its been done but I can't do it. Too many bills, kids, work demands, I sold my 87 buick grand national to have money for this project. its all I got. I couldn't build a plastic model of this truck if I had to do it from our paychecks! So I gotta be careful where the money goes cause I guarantee ya it could be spent tomorrow with the snap of the fingers.

Screeching Halt
I was doin so good and then.....screech.....gotta have this to finish that gotta have that to mock up this.
To go ahead with the Jag susp. need F1 fenders
To finish rear susp. gotta have a bed and F1 rear fenders
Got a 351W (1993) need an intake/carb/dist and whatever else to set it back in time.
Need a transmission, C6 I guess. should I go C6 or AOD? I am leaning C6 but...I don't see us taking long trips in it but the extra mileage with overdrive might be nice.
Oh ! Nicolle bought me a cherry picker for Fathers Day! that was cool!
I am eventually gonna have some stuff available:
My Flatty 6 (not running but not locked up,heads off and cyl's look good)
Standard tranny
F3 suspension stuff front and rear including springs+hangers
I have like 5 leafs of the back springs each side but the rest are chicklets in a bucket!
probably the driveshaft too.
1991 Thunderbird IRS (too much work for me)
I have a "75 Camaro 10 bolt rear axle also if someone needs it.
I am just stuck at the moment an its depressing!

OUCH !!!
Yeah thats not funny! But I gotta say..I did smile a little!! 
Yeah all jokes aside that stuff can happen, but wow what a freak accident! You were in the wrong place at the wrong time no doubt about it! That is a great story though! Sound like your truck has a little bit of Mustang in 'er. As in wild horse, likes to kick unpredictably..thanks and be careful! wear a helmet or something...

whats the difference between the long bed box Jeff's looking for and the 55 long bed box? I know there is a fender difference.
If there isnt too much of a diff, he just needs to drive 3.5 hrs to des moines!
btw, Jeff, I did get your voicemail, it was burried in between 13 fax messages some dude leaves on my voice mail. If you're still interested I can give ya a shout this weekend.
I'll be "supervising" a head gasket install on one of these frame layin minis so I have free time!
