That's great! I'm impressed that it made the trip home with no drama. Glad it all came together. Stu

BOR - Glad you got it - It deserved a Good Ford home - It had to be super cool to be able to drive it home.

Hey Kevin! Can you loan me a FORD hat? I think that might be the problem...:-X04

So BOR, are you going to show us pictures of you taking your Chevy to the scrapper to pay for this new one. :-jammin

By the way, it is awesome how FTE was used to save this beauty. Hopefully we can continue to save trucks in this manner. Way cool.

Um, that's a big, fat 10-4! :-X04 I'll probably try to get that rusty bucket of junk started up and out of the barn this weekend so the Ford has a nice, dry place to sleep. The fuel filter is plugged up with rust AGAIN. I think it may actually have a nicer bed on it than the Ford, so if they're the same length I may save that for a transplant, but otherwise it's got a date with a cutting torch and a 30-yard dumpster next week. Can't wait! I actually contemplated cutting it up myself and using the Ford to haul it in. Now THAT would be sweet! I'd get a higher scrap rate that way, but I've got too many fall chores to do. One way or the other, I'l be sure to post pics of a FordMan's revenge.

Terrific teamwork! Now that I know that truck will make it from IL to IN, I bet it will make it to MI. I'll give you $850 for it.....;)

Had a great time on this one guys! Great to meet Jeff, The Rage & Brother Bob. I've still got that goofy kid grin on my face knowing this one was saved. I can't wait to see the gruesome pics of the Chevy's demise!

Better get Jeff that hat quick because I just found out this morning that our computer is probably toast. Only about two years old. On second thought bring that Chevy over here. I want to drive it through a certain big box store's front door!

On to the next challenge.... my own trucks!!!:-hair

Rob

Hurrah for BOR!

Great ending to a great story!

Small world, I was thru Gibson City about 3 weeks ago. I skirted Bloomington/Normal, too.

Ross! Fine be that way! Stuck up! I would stop by your place if I was driving thru! But you probably wouldn't invite me would ya!

:-missingt:-X24:-X04

naw jeff he just knew that his car would get a severe case of hiccups in yer lil' corner of the cornfield }> ............. can't loan ya a ford hat as all the grand kids have them , but i gotta go get my hair lopped off maybe they can make ya a hairpiece ...................... :) lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, I actually started shaving my head as a joke...then i liked not having to deal with haircuts/payment,appointments...I don't have time or money for that!
I got a truck to build!:-X04. Anyway I just continued to shave it and that started back in February 2005 ! I gotta find me a good hat! I don't wear the ones with the opening in the back. You end up with weird tan with those!

Guess Ross doesn't like my sense of humor!:-innocent

Sorry Ross, I was just kidding!

Jeff I guess I'm glad I had my hat on in the pic!

I was hurt that Ross didn't stop and see us too.:'( I know parts of Central IL smell funny but come on! We're alot of fun!

Rob

(Didn't see your remarks til now) To be honest, I didn't know that I'd be passing so close to any of you! I was "winging it" as far as routes, avoiding storms on the way home especially. I didn't think I'd be near any of you, I thought you all were mostly over near Springfield and Decatur.

On the way up, I crossed the Mississippi into IL at Quincy, took US 24 thru Havana and caught IL 136 over to Gibson City, then up 47 to I-88. On the way back, I took I-88 to I-39, south on I-39 to IL 136, to US 24, back thru Quincy. I-39 was the only interstate I drove outside of NM. I hate them.

Catch you guys next trip, I'll be doing it again!
