Morning to all, trying to get a look at ol Blue's elec issue today and do alot of other chore's.

 

G' mernin everybody. Pulled the ignition switch and cylinder from the dent last night and will be dropping it off at the locksmith to have a key made. Hopefully Jerry never had it or the door locks changed, they both use the same shape key, hopefully they use the same key. The Vette is running too, about midnight we got it fired up, the PassKey is giving us fits though, one time it starts with no fanfare, another we're in a parade with flashing lights and honking horn. Another it might not even attempt to turn over. It all goes back to the ingenious security system GM made integral to the 88 flat Vettes

 

Good morning Missouri!

 

Hey Ches, still looking for a 351W? Just found this on "The List". Just window shopping, not really planning on buying anything ( yet ) & saw this. 1992 F-150

 

mornin' all.

 

Thanks Pat! email sent. how close are you, could you be my eyes?

 

Ches computer is STILL "having issues", have to call the phone co. again. Can't get Map Quest to load, not sure where Brighton is. If it's not too far, I can go look at it for you.

 

Ches, due to computer "issues" don't know if my attempt to edit went through or not. Map Quest finally loaded, Brighton is Chicago. Little too far away for me, sorry.

 

Thanks any way! he wants $600 TO MUCH! Will some one rep Pat, it wont let me yet!

 

Done it for ya!

 

Thanks folks. Not necessary, just saw that while I was looking & remembered Ches was looking for a Windsor.

 

Joisey Steve, as a "computer guy" you may understand what I remember from calling the phone co. AGAIN!! The speed was at 1.01 the first time & dropped to .97 the second time. He says they guarantee 1.1. Also something else that wasn't supposed to be below 8 was at 5. They're supposed to send somebody out again to check my lines. Right now, it's sort of working again.

 

Well Mr. Tim's Cavalier is still doing well. Out running around town yesterday and the Bearings in the Air Compressor started growling. So we're swapping compressors today, now that's another thing to replace on the one I'm hoping to fix and sell.
Here's a couple pictures of what we've been doing. See I get him to do some work too. Gotta help the ol' man out. See what brands have hoods OPEN!
Y'all take care
Unk Bob

 

Question for a FORD truck expert. What year did the F100 ½ ton become today's F150 ½ ton?

 

I just found a great place to get smart on our rigs, Google (Ford F100) ,WOW I am amazed at the info there Wikipedia says...

Under Sixth generation (1973–1979) The F-150 was introduced in 1975 to help circumvent coming emissions requirements. These came with a maximum payload of 2,275 lb (1,032 kg) when properly equipped. With the 1/2 ton F-100 still in production, the new F-150 was referred to as the "heavy half" ton by some people.

Did I win, did I did I???
