October Chat Thread-Open to all who dare to enter!
 
This is me, your beloved chapter leader, starting the October Chat thread three hours early so that I don't have to listen to Rich and Ches call me a slacker all month. :p

Howdy, howdy boys and girls!

pintoches 09-30-2010 09:04 PM

tcbofade 09-30-2010 09:18 PM

How you doin, Ches?

Tomorrow, I'll be at work from 6a to 2p, then 4p til 1a, so I just KNEW that one of you would start the October thread for me...while pointing out that I didn't do it...

I may be slow, but I CAN learn... :)

pintoches 09-30-2010 09:24 PM

Things are well. Proud of you for posting the Oct thread.

tcbofade 09-30-2010 09:54 PM

Wow - is it October already?

It seems like just yesterday Terry was getting harrassed about the September page... Time flies when you're having fun!

Going to be a busy day tomorrow....

pintoches 09-30-2010 10:04 PM

Morning to all, happy Oct, yea what ever, lol. It means its only closer to getting cold outside and my projects are getting no closer to being done.

Ches that's one ugly copper block, alot of satin black might help, that color might be ok in moderation, but WAY to much by itself.

Terry sorry again about the title for last months thread, was just pickin on you, cause we can. But I will leave the title business to you from here on out, just no slacking ok? lol

Al least its friday, and tonight is card night with the neighbors, and his b-day, drinks on the house.

zstangkrewson 10-01-2010 08:26 AM

i liked the burnt copper, satin black color combo on the engine, i think itll be neat.

77&79F250 10-01-2010 12:16 PM

Nothing beats FORD blue with black accents and a small splash of chrome.

sddesigns 10-01-2010 03:09 PM

Good Afternoon MO!

77&79F250 10-01-2010 05:35 PM

Zstang here you go Ford f-250 f20 4x4 1978

1978 F250 4x4 400 4 spd w/35's $2300 OBO Says has different flat bed, but I all ready talked to the guy and it has NO bed on it, I think ='s cheaper?

I was in the market for it and changed my mind, I mean decided to save the money for something else.

sddesigns 10-02-2010 08:04 AM

Good Morning MO! :)

Hope everyone has a great day and a great weekend! :D

pintoches 10-02-2010 08:59 AM

any one want to trade spots, I get to do a timing belt on a 92/97 DOHC turbo 2.0 Mitsubishi eclipse its a 97 gen 2 with a gen 1 head and turbo (92)

77&79F250 10-02-2010 09:06 AM

Morning all, here you go z stang Nice 1978 F250 4x4 4door 7,900 obo

78 F250 Crew Cab 4x4 460 $ 7900 I already have other pics from him, not a $7900 truck looking at the pics IMO, but $5000 maybe, I just decided NO and left it at that.

j20owner 10-02-2010 09:22 AM

Welcome to October, guys. Will be 2 more weeks before I can look at my truck again.....



Dang city livin'.....

77&79F250 10-02-2010 09:26 AM

Whats the deal with that? Did it get towed or something? Just another reason to live in the country.

I would go crazy living in the city, the nearest gas station is 6 miles away from me and sometimes that's to close, lol.

tcbofade 10-02-2010 02:19 PM

Howdy, howdy boys and girls.

Productive day here so far. Mrs. spent most of the week mowing where she could / felt brave enough. I mowed everywhere that she couldn't this morning in less than two hours.

Cleaned out the garage enough to fit BOTH the Escape and the Focus in it. (Winter is coming...)

Then drove the old truck over to the in laws...mowed the front yard, and weeded the back yard. Y'all ever seen six foot tall weeds?? :eek: First time in my life I've ever used a chainsaw as a weedeater... :-missingt

Now I'm home and don't have to be at job #2 until 5pm.

Nap time! :)

j20owner 10-02-2010 05:03 PM

I live in KC, the truck lives in rural Saline Co. for the time being. I won't be able to get to the farm until weekend after next. Dang family functions.....

I live in the OTHER KC, but you could always come over to my house and play with my truck if you'd like. :)

Nothing "really" wrong with it, but I can think of lots and lots of improvements that it doesn't need, but would be lots of fun to install.

Good morning boys and girls. Happy Sunday!

pintoches 10-03-2010 10:46 AM

Time for church! after church have a head gasket job on a 302 in a BOAT.:-huh

77&79F250 10-03-2010 01:04 PM

Planes, trains, automobiles and "Boats" well no matter what remember this, you should always rent what ever floats, flys or flirts, otherwise it will just give you problems, lol.

Unk Bob's ol kabluie's eng is on the road to go into a Bronco, Russ got it this am. I need to go work on something outside, since its nice out.

Happy sunday to all.

pintoches 10-03-2010 01:19 PM

Well the boat guy is not returning Phone calls so it looks like I have the day off. but no ele.bill money. Dalton is not feeling well so maybe its for the best. Easy day at home.

77&79F250 10-03-2010 04:18 PM

If you wasn't so far I would have some Ford truck eng work for you, I have to change a intake manifold gasket and figure what seal is leaking on the front end?

Front main/oil pan/timing cover? And swap a carb (with an off-road kit installed) to maybe handle the bumps better.

But when the kids are sick best to stay there anyway.

pintoches 10-03-2010 06:28 PM

I was on the "list".

That's a nice truck......a lot of money tho.

j20owner 10-03-2010 06:36 PM

Not to knit-pick, but he shouldn't have gone blue on the engine stuff. Just doesn't fit the rest of the truck.

I was thinking that too, but it is a nice contrast!

Grems4ever 10-03-2010 07:17 PM

Evening everyone!

Spent the weekend out in the camper. I just love camping this time of the year. It gets warm enough to be comfy, but cool enough at night to enjoy snuggling up with the missus in the sleeping bag.

Got bad news for y'all - Monday is on its way. :(

We have very strict rules about the use of foul language around here.... :-rip

pintoches 10-04-2010 07:34 AM

Well its Monday of a six day week! D_m cold at the bus stop! 20 mins and I'm off to work. My best friend at work got his job in springfield, friday was his last day so this will be a long week. His replacement starts next Monday, so we be short handed all week.

P.S Good morning FTE :-X25

77&79F250 10-04-2010 09:19 AM

They did not make a F150 "Highboy" and I like the outside color scheme but agree he should have used the same outer 2 colors on the eng IMO.

I think the price for the truck is based off his house, ck it out in the background. I mean nice truck and house but come on $27000 for a 77 1/2 ton 4x4, whatever dude!

Happy monday to all, turned on the heater last night, there goes the electric bill. I think I just saw the little spinney wheel shoot out thru the glass cover and bonce off a tree.

tcbofade 10-04-2010 02:49 PM

LOL! ...and a cheery good morning to you too, Rich. :-missingt

I turned on our heat this morning as well. I'm not worried tho. Our gas bill in the wintertime doesn't even approach HALF of our electric bill in the summer...

Howdy, howdy boys and girls! Happy Monday!

pintoches 10-04-2010 05:26 PM

With the bed room window open it still has not got below 70 in the apartment yet

pintoches 10-04-2010 06:14 PM

I need a carb!
