How many bushels to a butt load ?

Yes it is... I am after that, AND no leaks. I have a manual rack for this thing already, so it should be just doing some fab work.

I hate the pumps that came on the mid 80's Fords. They are all so noisy.

LOL, nope. No Ecoboost. I do have QUITE A BIT already purchased for it. I just need the time. She is mostly good with me working on things. I really don't have it bad in that regard... my Buddy's Wife nags him when he buys parts to fix his vehicles. Like somehow the bad parts will just fix themselves. Preventive maintenance... LOL, that's a whole different topic for him. I feel for him. I couldn't handle that.

Mine is glad I inherited the fix-it gene from my dad (hers had it, too), and doesn't complain a lick when I can repair and maintain things here without having to call someone else in. When it comes to buying stuff for the truck or the Mustang, she knows I won't go (too) crazy, and is glad I have a hobby. Better than spending it on booze, etc.

Will do... it will probably be an "after the 351 and 5 lug swap" deal, unless it keeps pissing me off, LOL. I called the U-Pull yards to look for a Prius or Yaris, but none of them had any.
