Re: What's Happened to this Place?
You know what- despite the face books..... we all just got too busy with made up responsibilities. I am guilty. I decided to retire because i was no longer willing to do the things the CG told me to do, and that i would have to tell my junior guys to do. That was it. Onward to more projects. If i ha...

Re: retired!
I am building from scratch. I am going to build my own trailer frame, install axle and then build the camper on top. Way cheaper than paying a off the shelf camper. Plus I can customize it my way. Check out OregonTrailR on youtube. He makes some nice teardrops- i am making one similar but not at his...

Re: my shipwrecked '63
July 21st 2023. I lost my Diesel. he was just shy of 16 years old and I was away. Thankfully my dad was able to call and be on the phone while I talked to the vet about what to do. Diesel died at 11pm. I am thankful I was able to take him for his ride in the F100 in May before I departed for Baltimo...

Re: Steering Box Rebuild
I did a rebuild service order through rockauto.
Lares Corporation offered the service so I shipped my steering box to them, and they sent it back. I spent like 80 shipping, but like 250 on the rebuild. That was 8 years ago.
