    I sprayed 11's with a stock LS1 in my 99 WS6 (back in 2003) bone stock with just worn out nitto's, a clear MTI lid and 150 shot..... Good times

    Mine is a 67. Was thinking about a LS swap but didn't want to deal with all the computer BS. Its not original but want to keep it old school.

    Now my 73 jeep... I'm decoding a 350 V8 or the old 4.0 inline 6. Its mainly a off-road fun truck... Although my dad thinks he's gonna plow with it LOL. I'm thinking an old army WW2 color, and make it look rugged.

    My new pickup I'm still debating the ford super duty or a Chevy HD. Most likely going diesel. I always was a dodge guy and would love to have a Cummins but lately dodge been not wowing me

    Anyways how are all my ltl friends doing? I been working like everyday with snow plowing. Like 40 days without a day off

    Does anyone else brew beer on here when they are off? Been getting lots of downtime which equals a lot of beer. I am thinking of hanging up my trucker hat and going pro.

    Argh... Bloody hell. Tried to drop my front box after I transfered all my tools into my back box, only to find the #### crank handle to my landing gear missing. Got a good forearm workout manually twisting down the tie rod from underneath the trailer. Wondering where the hell the handle went. Hope it didn't fly off and go into someones windshield earlier on the interstate. Crap.

    So a CWF truck got taken out by a train yesterday. Pretty nasty wreck. The driver was alright though.
