mowerman Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 Looked into Medicare, BC and D today. Got a lot of helpful information down at the old people store guy in charge Was very informative. Didn’t make it look too scary He said when you’re ready for it, come down here and I will walk you through everything and we find the right plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old cast iron manifold cracked into a million pieces on my FJ40 I had an old '71 F100 pickup one time, bought it from one of the mechanics that worked in the shop at H.H.Moore's. Pretty good old truck actually, except it was really light duty. It came from the factory with the smallest Ford 6 cylinder and a 3 speed on the column. He swapped in a 351 out of a station wagon or something at some point, so it ran great but you still couldn't haul much with it, or the rear bumper would be dragging. The exhaust manifold on it cracked and I located a used one close by, already off the engine. Went over to get it and it was laying under a tree in the front yard amongst a pile of junk. The guy wanted $100 for it, and said "but if I was you I'd just go get me a pair of cheap headers". So I guess he didn't really want to sell the manifold anyway. It made no sense to me, but I did go get a pair of headers and slapped them on, back then they were about the same price as what he wanted for the used cast iron manifold. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

mowerman Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 OK I’m on vacation next week. I’m going to try to take a big bite out of that nose should have plenty of time for it.

mowerman Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 Well, I was gonna do some more grinding this morning but my wife has demanded I take down this old storage shed that she has to look at every day driving into the yard and it’s an eyesore. You need to take that down before you do anything else around here? That thing is driving me nuts I’m tired of looking at that ugly SOB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
