My Saturday night.

You certainly earned it!! Reps for you.

Drove ol silver to work this am and then back home after work.

Drove over to take pictures of the barn I pulled it out of... and my phone went dead. Maybe get pics tomorrow.

Took it to the barn to get a tractor, once I got there it went dead in the driveway. It fired back up easily and ran good the rest of the day, idk what the deal was

Decided to purchase a 1979 F250 4x4 project and trade in my 1978 2WD project.

Dent related anyway, I made a super heavy duty test light out of an old taillight socket from my truck.

Well I picked up an old trailer hitch so I cleaned that up and painted it and built a t-harness to go in the connectors I put in earlier and ran new wires up to the front for trailer brake and trailer power. Then wrapped it all in wire loom.

Got my truck back today, they had to primer in the inside of the bed to get the liner to stick. Last Saturday I went to u pull it and picked up a set of late model bed bolts and u-nut for $5 instead of using the old one. I saw another truck on the fourm with them and liked the look.

Not much to mention, but with the totaling out of my 2011, and buying a 2013, I swapped all 3 batteries around. The battery that was in the 2013 is now in Ka'Bluey, the 1 year old battery that was in the 2011 is now in the 2013, and the 2011 is in on the lot of an insurance auto auction:o:'(:(.

Unk Bob:-wink

What model years are those bolts from? I want to do the same thing

When I did it I used 2014 bolts but I believe Ford started doing it back around 98. Correct me if I'm wrong. But yes I'm very happy with how they look.
