Well, tomorrow I will be headed into the shop, to get a base line reading on what kind of pulse my old F250 still might have.

Time constraints dictated to me that I will not be able to get the CCLB on the road in time to plow snow this winter. I have to get the truck in shape to be inspected for our road checks we have every two years.

Best I can tell, she will need one wheel seal in the back, the box either replaced with a flat bed, or another box (I am leaning towards a hand made flat bed), the brake line to the back and the cab corners patched up.

She has all new axle joints, ball joints, steering linkages and tie rod ends, tires, brakes, lights and among other things, shocks.

I can't see it needing a lot other than body work, which I will take care of via a steel framed flat bed with a rough lumber deck.

Wish me luck, Frankenstien hasn't been started in like 3 months....I'll video her first startup in over 90 days tomorrow for all of you.

Good luck on getting it fired up. Your inspections sound pretty tough. We don't have any type of inspection and we probably should with some of the junk that's on the road.
