Taylor you will not need patch panels for that blue bed its just a 2x3 spot. Ches, you got a pretty good deal on that 78 F150 4x4, right?
Everyone start saving there pennies now and we will have a shopping day in my backyard when I get home.
If we can not find it here, we can hit the local JY, its cheap and close.

A shopping day sounds great to me, I'll start saving up, after I get my brakes and bearings done, which I'm going to start tearing into it tomorrow.

Good idea Terry, will have to check that out. School starts the 19th of Aug (YES) and Tim will be 16 the 29th of Aug and can get his drivers license then. He's driving pretty well, just wundering about the truck.
I'm also wundering if the Catalytic Converter is stopped up, building too much back pressure. It has also just recently develloped a leaky doughnut gasket.
I'll have to ask my exhaust guy that did Ka'Bluey stacks if he knows of a way to check a cat......
Y'all ahve a good one. Let you know what we find out.

Good luck Unk Bob, hope you get it running right!
I just got back from my truck's field, let it run for a while then played with the idle screws. Have no idea which one does what but I ended up with a lower idle I was happy with, and somehow it seemed to help with my mid-throttle bogging issue too. I also went through the vacuum lines, removed the coffee can and plugged up a few ports that were sucking air. I'm hoping that coffee can isn't important, and since there wasn't anything in it I'm assuming it isn't. I also took the visors off and brought them home. They need cleaning and the anchor pins are long gone and they were bugging me just hanging off the roof.
I also had a talk with my dad, he thinks the loan is a great idea. I need a way to build some credit and I can easily pay it back in half the time I'll need to.
