If they have those little pinching bolts...like this, -

Then I can see why. Didn't think that would hold up well myself. Cut it off, weld on. Could of used a Torca band clamp, but even that looked a little clunky. Not sure how yours adjust, just a guess....are you aligning dual tails w/ tips ?

Going to gas up the F150 tonight... I need to pick up some steel in tomorrow or Friday.
Get a hold of them yet ?

How nice is the 78 ? Had one in high school. Was the 150 version, a 78.5 with the square heads. Really liked that truck..that eventually rusted out as well and most likley still sitting where I left it lol.

What are you building white?

The buyer got ahold of the trucking company... they cancelled without telling anyone. Supposed to be getting someone else to come now, so we are in standby mode. It's a good truck... great starter project! The square tube is to build a mount for my tire changer outer deal. I'm going to make a mount to stick it in the receiver on my F150.

I appreciate it. I hope I don't either! The "new" guideline is stay away from people for 5 days, then wear a mask for 5 days. I texted HR last night, and they told me "business as usual" if I don't have symptoms. I'm not a douchebag though, so I am wearing a mask when I am around people and I'm going to stay in my office as much as possible. I got my vaccine 13 days ago, so hopefully it's effective.

Didn't get to the F150 last night. I was too busy trying to figure out what was going on with my daughter... The Wife just texted me and said now my youngest says she's getting sick. Joy.

Nice truck. Yep, that's a 78.5, square heads. Earlier 78's had the roundies.

This is the first go of it. I had two Instacare doctors tell me that I had it (even though I tested negative twice), but my family doc did a blood test and said that they were dead wrong. Found out that I had an infection - and that was what was causing my fever.

I saw that.... pretty cool stuff. I've always looked at that chunk of property and thought "that'd be a nice spot to expand". I'm sure Michelle doesn't want 'em all in there pissing on the floor in her new bathroom.

Matt released the video last week of the day I saw him parked in front of Gumby's. Go to 9:48 - he also meets up with LT Tolman there.


Didn't realize it at the time, but that black GMC belongs to LT.
