So now to the decision to use the F-150 for the daily driver or get something else so I can keep the F-150 for the project truck.
Ken congrats on the new user name! A guy that worked at the hotel we stayed in over the weekend had a nice 77 F-250 completely rebuilt with 38's. Nice truck!
Yikes....sorry to hear about the old Explorer....but 322k...awesome!

You should have taken a picture. I need to try to do that too. The other day I rode past a really nice 60's Bronco I wished I'd taken a picture of. A few weeks ago, I drove past a 54-58 F600 that looked awesome! Wish I'd taken a picture of it.

Morning everyone and have a great one! One more day till the weekend!

Nope it's been paid for since 1999! Great vehicle, might get the wife another one some day. I took it over when she got her new car in 2003. Now to get the F-150 running this weekend I hope!

Morning!!! Foggy out this morning.

On Fridays when I make bank deposits, I have to pull a foot or so ahead of the drive-through teller, put F150 in park, then unbuckle my seatbelt and practically hang halfway out of the truck, bending way over, to be able to reach the drawer! By this time, everyone in the bank is looking at me and my truck!

Have a great Friday everyone!

That's funny. I always had this picture in my head that one day, I wouldn't have it in park and as I leaned over, I fell out and the truck just took off and of course you can all make up what happens next, but it aint pretty!!!
