Mark, I believe the marker lights were stock Ford items. They were on the truck when I got it at 15K miles. They were colored primer grey originally. When I had the truck painted in '98, I had them covered in white. No landscaping thread from me. I hate landscaping and yard work. I'll be paying some...

Tim, as far as a tow vehicle goes, I'll give you a sample of the last day's prep for her new owner. I knew she needed a grease job, so I got to that messy job. My air powered grease gun wouldn't push grease, so I fiddled with that for about an hour before I went to my manual gun. The manual gun didn...

Nope. I left that out. I'll just use yours.

Well the new owner picked up Ol' Blue today. Here is the video of her departure:

Ol' Blue is officially sold. A local guy saw it on ebay and contacted me after the auction was over. He drove it off this morning. Interestingly, he is a partner in a landscape design business and part of the deal is for them to work up a landscaping plan for my property. I've been wanting to do thi...

Dave, I'd like to fix the missing photos and links in my 1969 F250 thread. It appears that the password has changed to allow me to login. Can you email all the current info I need to login and access the server?
Thanks,

The Ebay auction ended without the reserve being met. I plan to keep the truck up for sale on Craigslist and Cars.com during the winter months and then relist it in the spring. In the mean time she's sitting pretty in the garage while the GTO must suffer the bitter cold winds of North Carolina outsi...

I've promoted the truck selling to Ebay: http://snipurl.com/1k8dg1

It will run until Sunday evening 12/5. If it doesn't make the reserve, I will be taking it off the
market until spring.

Kinda neat to have the best of both worlds. We can't wait to see how far the et's will drop with the colder air in a couple of weeks.

I can't help wondering why the engine is in the back and whether it runs or not. What's the story on the engine? How many miles on the drivetrain and the rest of the truck?

I know it. I just can't help myself. I'm going outside and do some burnouts in the goat to get it out of my system.

How did you deal with the air bag(s)? This was one of the big items that kept me from saving my Z28.

By the way, I saw it a couple of weeks ago. It is under a tarp and still the same as the day it left here. Kinda made me feel like getting it back.

Take a look at the Reference/Tips section under Maverick's wheel interchange post and you will see a strange update.

Usually analog tachs are behind the actual RPMs, so I guess you hit about 7 grand there.
