I need to get the parts F350 finished up, which means pulling the engine and tranny, cutting up the flat bed and removing the dump, removing the cab and suspension, and finally cutting up the frame.

I need to replace the draglink and associated parts in the Maroon Monster (72 F350). That will be the last of the steering and suspension repairs. I also need to get the 360 oil leaks fixed and the exhaust leaks fixed.

I need to finish the rebuild on the 360 for the 70 F100. I think I'm gonna stroke it to a 390. The heads are done I just need to get the block worked over and order the parts.

I have several other trucks to part out and haul off. I think one will become a truck bed trailer.

After all that I need to get back on the 67 hot rod project.

After owning my 72 since '99 without doing much to it. It is now temporarely retired since I got another DD.
I plan to cut the LWB 72 down into the SWB which I always wanted. While I'm at it I plan to also add the CV front suspension and IRS from a Thunderbird/Cougar or Lincoln. This is a plan, we'll se if I can come up with necessary funds for my plans.
I figure that after 40 years of service my truck should be done with being a work-truck and if it rides like a car from now on that is just fine with me. We'll see what happens...
