ill come give you a hand with the bed BEFORE the rally jared

that would be great LOL, i am actaully tempted though to try to take more time off ahead of the rally and still do it. i usually jump in over my head, its about the only way i can get things done sometimes. i just hope my sisters camper does not need to much work. i heard some mice got in over the winter. gggrrrrrr

you got an extra injection pump i could try. my u-haul pump hardly made a differance in my truck and its making me wonder.

I was planning on crashing the rally since I didn't register because I thought I had plans over that time frame, but I lost my Battle Beast due to a tranny going out and I just can't swing repairing it at this time. Plan two was my 79 Bronco showing up in diesel trim, but the guy I was buying the tranny from welched on the deal and now I am sitting without a vehicle - period. I've been borrowing my Dad's F150 lately, and it's like going back to the old Chevette I once had. Too quiet and though it's decent on gas, it's gas.

Sorry folks, the surprise won't happen this year but I am sure looking forward to seeing pictures. :Q
