What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

That's one beastly OBS chevy.....

 

Just finished cleaning up the rest of the snow I didn’t do yesterday with the new to me rear blade on the tractor. Working great! Before that I did several different things throughout the day that needed doin. Laundry for the wifey, shoveling some snow, more firewood brought in with my son helping, and I also did my favorite thing ..... the bills!

Oh well, got a good bit done today. Time to relax.

 

Whatcha workin on?

 

Day 4 of working on the truck. Brake lines are all in. Tires mounted. New fuel pump in. Tank reinstalled. Now a wheel speed sensor is bad. Ugh. Im gonna be eating ramen for months.

 

40s here today, but heavy wind and rain made it seem colder. Not that I'm complaining, the driving machines got pressure washed

 

Isn't it fun?

A project truck that you want to invest in, leave in the garage, pick at as you have the money.....excellent.

A daily workhorse that you depend on....well.....when that breaks......

 

well, looks beastly covered in snow from a distance

Kind of a shame......I do like those OBSs. Just sonething about them. Could do without rust though....I've had my fill of rustbuckets for a while with the 2004 ford I just sent away last month

 

heck with brine they put on our roads nit uncommon for 6 year old vehicles to fail a safty inspection... rusted brake lines and floorboards and frames... nothing inportant

 

Sure sounds like a capacitor...you probably have it fixed by now though...

 

You can pick your friends........but your stuck with your relatives..............................

 

What you grow up around does play a big part. I'm a truck person, but when it comes to cars, I've always liked something about Pontiacs, perhaps because we had a few in the family for years while I was growing up. So I'm pretty happy with the 2008 G6 we got last month. For trucks....mostly had ford's in the family, some Chevys and granddad had a red dodge Dakota for years which me and dad used for a while afterwards. Car wise, we had a couple suzukis, which some people call junk but we never hardly had a hitch, despite using the hatchback to haul stuff some people would be afraid to put in a one ton.


But I came to be a Ford person on my own while hardly older than a toddler, while we had the Dodge and the first Suzuki.


Got a few aunts and uncles who are die hard GM..... I've always like ford first, dodge second, GM third, and yota and Nissan I didn't care for years. But they've come a long way these past couple years, and now, if I was looking for a brand new half ton, I'd go ford first, but yota and Nissan before GM or ram.

Hear ya on the rust....we use road salt, some areas more than others, but we also have the salt air, which I wouldn't trade for anything despite it all, but it doesn't help keep trucks clean. It's not hard to keep a rig in good shape if looked after well from new....but if you don't start new and keep it up.....bye bye. The G6 is pretty clean, as is my 02 F-150. I'm also wanting to get something to only use on my own property.....but still working on that one.

 

First thing I thought of was it's a capacitor. (I hope)

 

Ayuh... true that.

 

Nice slow, steady rain.....not a bad 10 PM.

I absolutely love the rain when I'm inside......I don't mind being out in it either if it's not too cold.....once I'm soaked I don't give a damm, I'll keep on working.....but there's just something about being cozy in bed or relaxing in the couch with grandmother and listening to it coming down.

 

I'm supposed to get up to....3" overnight!!
Should I run to the store for eggs, milk, and bread?
