Where have you been, still have the truck ? Shoot you probably have it gold plated by now lol.
It sat for about a year and then I got the motivation to redo everything again. Restored the gas tank and all the lines and rubber from the trans back. Have the front end ripped apart at the moment. Once that's refreshed I'm going to paint it. Paints tired after 18 some years!

Man! Miss a few days, and it takes 2-1/2 hours to get caught up!
Allergies: Allegra is what finally worked for me after Claritin became ineffective and trying several others. Taking Duncan out after dark while wearing a headlamp showed me just how much crap is floating around in the air.
Weather: Finally had a nice enough evening for (and no fire ban to prohibit) a fire in the pit last night. Finally!
Whitey's Stretcharoos - That sucks. I've found that 245's are about the narrowest tire that will fit well on a 9" wheel. For reference, I'm running 275's on mine, just like the later Cobras. No regrets. I'm not sure how they'd fit on your Fox, though.
EDIT: FWIW, the Cobra wheels I took off my '95 were 8" wide, but I'm pretty sure all the R' s (and R-eplicas) are 9". I can understand why you may have had 8" on the brain. I probably would have kept mine if they'd been 9's, but I'm kind of glad they weren't, because I'm really happy with the more-unique Steedas.
Post counts: I'm still waaaay behind!
02BOW - Nice to see you back. The truck is looking as great as ever (well, the pieces are).

My daughter sent me this yesterday for fathers day. She's always giving me Ford or Coke stuff each year. So far I have 2 Ford car bags for the trunk, signs saying Ford only parking, Coke round cooler (12v) for canned pop, Ford Signs for a shop, etc and now this neat little lighted sign Oh and my Ford Mustang lunch pail, lol.
So what are you going to do white, - throw them on and hope that they don't bug you too much ?
I haven't seen too many undersized tires (width wise) mounted up and run in the past...oversized yes.
Worst case, if you don't like them , you could sell the tires I guess.
But yea, that would of bummed me out as well.
My Buddy that runs a tire shop is going to see if we can make some kind of a deal... we'll see.

That sign is fantastic. I've been eyeing on a similar sign on the Amazon. Might even be the same one... I'll have to look in my "save for later", LOL.
Nice to see you, 02!
Ohio... they definitely look out of place. Stupid things are trying to rub my quads as they are right now.
EDIT: Here's where we're at right now. Someone had been in this diff pissing around. It also had VERY little fluid in it. Maybe a quart to quart and a half.
Both wheel bearings looked brand new... they were Torrington's. One seal was a Timken, the other was a Ford. The c-clip on the passenger side had been beat in with a screw driver. Can't understand why.... it came right out with a magnet. This is where all of the fluid seeped. I literally scraped a 1/4" of grease off the backside of the backing plate.

02 B/W , - The truck is looking great as always. You have a cammed engine on order, - is it Big Cam, going for that big cam idle by chance ? I've seen just one guy big cam these engines in the past, I'll never forget how it idled. It sounded killer.
AK, - My mother use to collect Coke Memorabilia. Had so much of it , my father built her a Coke room. I recall it had dark brown paneling half way up the wall, old fashion wallpaper and a coke red shelf going around the top of room with all that old Coke memorabilia displayed. It was pretty cool. She since moved and lost the room, - not sure what she did with all that memorabilia....I have to inquire.
Nice fire pit Ohio, thought about doing one up last night, it's still very cool here at night so we are not so into it yet. It'll come tho...soon.
