Block is out getting sonic checked as of yesterday. It's cool it's finally started, but sht man, it's been a month!

Hope it gets a clean bill of health! I can't wait to see you build it.

We dropped off at scrapper. The rule is we are supposed to watch them crush it. A lot of times they just tell us to drop it on the side and "we'll get to it later." Some we HAVE to watch them crush and others not so much.

What kind of sadist do you work for? That sounds horrible.

Still have the truck. Sold the heads and intake I had for it to pay for the engine work for the fox. Nothing much else going on except I put some add-a-leafs on the back and I replaced the starter.

Side note - if you need a cheap mini starter for a mustang, the F-150s came with them. $50 on Rock Auto.

I like that truck. They're getting so difficult to find for a good price these days.

I have had it on CL for the last several months at $8500, hahahahahaha Needless to say, I haven't had many hits.

Also, the front drivers side intake bolt broke off in the head, so it's leaking coolant pretty good now. That should be a fun fix.

It's tough to have 2 "hot rods" at once. I thought my MS6 would be a fun daily driver to throw some mod money at occasionally and I wound up resenting every dime I've spent on it. I've realized that I want 100% of my toy money going into the Mustang.

I've fought with myself about getting myself my dream truck and ditching my 05' F-150 supercrew 4x4. I love my Screw but I love the older Centurion F-150 trucks the most. I saw one for sale a few years ago, I bet the small car dealer didn't know what he had but I hesitated and now I haven't seen one locally since. I know if I was to get one I wouldn't leave it alone. I'd lift it, gear it, modify it, tinker with it and that is a big NO NO with your daily.

 

[General karthief]

Nobody told me that you don't modify your daily

Outside of true typical "bolts-ons" you should not mess with your damn paycheck! I did however just searched and found an F-150 Centurion that's 7 hours away from me

 

[General karthief]

I do agree with not modifying your money maker, that may have been a poor choice of words , don't tell noobz, the only bolt ons my truck has is a k&n filter, unless you count the f150 bucket seats I installed years ago, that bench seat was killing me.
