Fall truck projects
The leaves are changing colour, it's pretty cold at night and we've turned our furnaces on. Time to get the truck ready for winter storage. Any one have any special projects they want/need to get done before putting their truck away? (I guess that only applies to summer toys ) Any one doing anything special before winter driving their truck?
The only thing I maybe have planned is to rearrange stuff in my garage to keep my truck under a roof this winter, if it fits in the garage, that is. May need to let all the air out of the tires to fit it through the door.

Canadian Tire had those portable garages on sale last week so I bought one. The Princess Auto POS that I got last year didn't survive all that well. The new one has the sides and roof as one piece so it should deal with the wind a lot better. They are a good alternative for storing your vehicle if it won't fit in the garage.
Couldn't afford to buy one big enough for the camper though . I did find outdoor storage at $35/month. It's close to home , a nice older couple live there and they have 4 dogs for security so I'm happy.
Other than that, I'd like to continue the rebuild on my 300 I6 and I have to rebuild the carb on my '48 as it's not running well at all. Still deciding on paint for the F250, money is tight.

Let's see.
We'll this will be the last week with the soft top , going back to the hardtop for the winter, have to get the Bronco oiled for the winter, assorted oil changes on both trucks(wives too).
I also think I'm going to change the rod springs on my carb to a little stiffer ones.
New Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires and steel rims for my wives Ranger.

Hmmmmmm projects before I store it????? Nope I just gotta get the Prelude up and running after 4 months of just sitting there, thats my major project, and not a fun project at all.
On the other hand if anyone needs storage you can give Brad or .....(can't remember his wifes name) at Clembrook Storage (905) 878 - 6576. That's where I keep my truck, they are great people and this year i think it's around $350 for 6 months which I can't complain aboot. They store everything from Boats to Camp trailers to Cars and Trucks to RV's.

LOL.
Life time warranty on the muffler, just watch out for the $400.00 muffler clamp they need to install it

I picked up a DJM 3/4 lowering kit for the Merc. I'm also looking at some roller rockers for the 460 on Ebay, trying to convince myself that I must have them.
I won't get to it this season because my other truck project is taking longer than I planned. I should have been able to predict that one though, has a truck project ever been finished on time? Maybe on TV?
Believe it or not, we still don't have quite enough snow to go sledding up here, except for the real diehards who like to change carbides.
