Project! Introducing Smokey Pete, the 1989 F250.

I am the same way as far as truck buying sprees, but I have to admit you got the draw on me as far as selling them,lol. That extended cab never would've left my place.
Everything looks great, and is definitely coming along nicely. What in the world kind of degreaser is that? That is unbelievable!

BTW, that truck looks sweet! I wish I could buff out the paint on my f250, but I have to do some body work, so I am forced to paint it at some point. I wish my truck looked near as good as yours, but that will be awhile till I get it to that point.

Ahh, body work. That's the one area I haven't delved much into, I've been lucky enough to cherry pick the trucks that have no rust as the keepers. Keep us posted on your body-work-adventures, I'd love to learn from you.

I will be sure to keep you guys posted on that. I got a building project (shop) that I have to get done first though, so it will be a little while yet, but I will be glad to share the details on that when I do start. My f250 needs a cab corner, floor boards, rear arches, rear corners,paint and a big dent in the bed pulled. The f450 needs a a cab corner and rocker panel. Needless to say, there is quite a bit to share lol.

The wife wasn't too happy about my used car lot I was developing.

What? I thought you live out in the boonies?

Also made sure to find time to burn up some Juniper bushes (I hate those things)

You didn't happen to be out along the west coast last summer and fall did you?

Hahaha! Nope, I keep my pyrotechnics to the mountains. Too close to the coast and I start getting antsy.

And boonies? Yup. But my wife has a different vision of what that looks like. And my argument of "but rust IS organic" doesn't fly, I tried.

Maybe you just need to push them a little farther back into the trees then?

Or maybe buy a HUGE tarp, have somebody paint trees on it, hang it up at the edge of your yard, and then hide the trucks behind it.

You ain't kiddin. I put my foot into it and whoever's behind me disappears. It's silly fun, although I think my mileage is about a third of what it used to be.

Screw a 2X4 to the bottom side of the throttle pedal. That will help bring the mileage back up.
