Did a little work on the c notch today. Filled in the bottom of the frame and made up the pieces to box in the frame. I will have to relocate the upper shock mounts at a later date.

I came across a homeless veteran in our neighborhood earlier this year living on the streets with his dog. Artie is ex-Marine Corp, and he's blind and still carrying a bullet in his back from Vietnam. Eventually a good sized group of people started to take care of him, and now he's off the streets after moving into a residential facility just before Christmas. I run errands and do some shopping when he needs it, and when someone kindly donated a La-Z-Boy (because he's most comfortable in a recliner) I volunteered to take it without really knowing if it would fit in the F350. The camper door was way too narrow so I took the passenger seat out, and me and my son actually managed to manhandle the damned thing in there, sitting it in place of the original seat and facing forward. Driving with a recliner for a passenger seat certainly gets you some interesting looks at stoplights, believe me.
Anyway, heading back after dropping it off I noticed a stumble, and before long it stalled at a red light. Now I should mention that I've had an ongoing battle with my starter motor heat soaking and getting sluggish. I switched it out a short while back but forgot to put the makeshift heat shield back on. Sitting at the red light, it would barely crank over, and when it did fire it was a few splutters and then eventually nothing.
Long story short, AAA sent a guy to jump start me, and it was a farce. He kept changing his diagnosis from the battery being bad (after failing dismally to sell me a new one to replace the 700CCA battery I bought just before Christmas) to it being the wrong kind - without looking to see what I had. Then he blamed me for replaced only one battery when he said I should change them in pairs (?).After that it was the terminal, but replacing that didn't help. Then he hooked it up to his truck with jumper cables AND an emergency jump starter, and still no improvement. All the while I'm telling him the starter was already too hot, and running that much juice through it probably wasn't helping.
I pointed out that it wasn't even firing and that I suspected the fuel pump had failed (the second since August), but he said the fuel was fine but "the engine was too heavy to turn over". At that point I decided this was going nowhere and told him I needed a tow, and he packed up and left.
We got back at eight o'clock this evening, and I managed to get a replacement pump just before Autozone closed. Now everything has cooled down, the starter spun her over just fine, and surprise, surprise - the new fuel pump has her up and running again.

Great story.

Spent the better part of today trying to get the heater grid wired up on the truck. Sunday when it was warm I parked it across the street and this morning it was frozen and too far away to plug the block heater in. Used some jumper cables to hot wire the heater grid and it fired off quickly (thank you Cummins). So since it's freezing I decided it was a great day to work on the truck outside.

I didn't want to drill yet another hole in the dash so I decided to install a spare wiper switch where I had installed a spare emergency flasher switch and let it do double duty, as and overdrive enable on/off switch and when pushed (for washer originally) to fire a spare starter solenoid for the heater grid in the intake tract. Of course I couldn't find the correct nut for the spare wiper switch in the shop and ended up wandering around a local junk yard getting two.

Switch is in, pretty miserable experience, but no blood shed. Solenoid is too but they aren't connected together yet. Warming up so I can make the cables.

Should have told the AAA guy that this was the RARE Lazyboy optioned Ford..!!
I found a 1 ton in a bone yard that looked like it was a camper truck and it had bucket seats. I think they are mustag seats. First I thought this must have been retro-fit but the brackets looked factory. Do you have a picture of your seats?
