Re: 1970 F250 4X4 Rebuild / Updating
Hi everyone, no work on the truck been battling what was thought to be a cold. Turns out more to come. Should have news in the next two weeks but sound like I may have a kidney stone. I am still trying to do what I can and need to source a good heavy-duty pallet for moving the cab around. I do have casters already so let's see what I can find. We had a big wind storm the last two days, good at the house so far. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Still no work, still doc says he is confident that it is a calcium stone and is sending me for two test to confirm.

Well, one good answer is the snow melted pretty quick. Second answer is I know I don't have a kidney stone now. Two other things were spotted and have appointments this week for those. I am swamped at work with a major project deadline that I hope goes well so in a few weeks I can start working on the truck again. As long as I am clear to do so.

Sending some prayers up that all is smooth with the appointments and all. Also hope the work comes back to normal and you can get on the truck again. Get to feeling better!!!

Ditto, trucks always there waiting patiently Maybe once it warms up take on a couple small projects to keep your mind on positive things while you deal with your health. BTDT...

Went out and bought some 10" pneumatic tires to put under the cab mounted to 4x4s so we can roll the cab out onto the stone driveway for power washing. Then its floor time and a few other repairs. All that and I had to have a wisdom tooth pulled on Tuesday, I can't handle losing too much more wisdom at this point in my life.
