When I was flying frequently I would pride myself on landing on the centerline no matter what the conditions. Now it seems I can’t park between two dang lines some days, of course mostly when wife in car.

Took my driver’s test in a 1976 F150 long wheelbase. Had to parallel park that puppy between two cars. No problem. Probably couldn’t do it as well today. 😂

Living in NW Colorado water was always a concern. We had decent well but sediment would mess up our new washer/drywr and had to put fancy filter in it. 45 minutes to west, it was common for folks living there to have to get water in town and...

Love this, wife and I spent couple hours in town this morning after driving our 79 F150. Most of our time talking to folks about the truck. Surprisingly had a few young ladies not even old enough to drive holler “I like your truck”.

Had a guy roll up in this to our yard sale today @bobm

Water in the Cariboo…they have three drilled wells, #1 was dry when drilled to 250’ but now gives them all their water, #2 has a pump and runs less than 5 min a day…basically dry, #3 dad told the guy to stop at 200’ deep but the driller swore...

Friend dug a well in Jay, Vt…a lot of rock… within 40 feet they hit ledge and took 4 days to get thru …whatever he saved on pipe, he spent on drilling

Seven feet deep, wow our frost line is something like three feet. I ran a water line @ a 1/2 mile down to the barn and some places I hit bedrock at only eighteen inches and it has never froze up. Cold up there! Like Knuckles said, beautiful country.

Turbo got a little warm 🔥😮😲😳

Went to ranch for a couple weeks to help the folks with water system, they are hauling water daily again this fall…getting stale. Hard digging it all to 7feet deep for the tired 200ex, we ended up putting in new injectors before we melted...

And I'm sorry for my part in this, I was trying to stay on topic but ... Yeah that didn't work out..

Find a set of the NA OEM 15" rims and run the Kenda Klever RT. 33x9.50-15:

Chassis is through final blast, now in powdercoat primer.

If it’s a single-belt, wide groove pulley you’re after, I have a box full of them, and a one-day, no minimum order sale coming up on Thursday. Mark@marksoffroad.net

Well, that’s out of the way.

Dropping a link per @Pigeaten request.

I use 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺 lot's of it 😏😳😮🧐🤔😲😉😘

I would return for a full refund. It's a mix of years and when you, or your mechanic, need parts that's going to be an issue. If in a few years your infatuation with it wears off and you try to sell it you'll likely loose money. Get the refund...

I personally wouldn’t deal with a salvage or marked title. Some people might. The vast majority of the guys on Mud would hesitate on that truck as a ‘78 with any type of title.
