I have not even finished my 78 Bronco project yet

and I have already started planning another build out of all my left over parts?
I was wondering what to do with all the stuff I have left and I decided to go ahead and build a truggy out of it, I am going to take my 250

shorten the wheel base and put my old 44's on it

I got fenders and a hood for it and I think I'll narrow the front, build a small bed and put my bed tool box back there?
anyways I haven't posted here in awhile so I thought I would tell ya what I was thinking...Later....Rick

Married with children my friend, the only reason I am even thinking about it is because I have most of this already, I figure its better to build something out of it then junk it, nobody is really buying any of this stuff nowadays, atleast around here, but who knows, I still have to finish the bronco , I just really wanted to post on here and thats what was on my mind at the time....Rick

I don't see anything wrong with it. It makes perfect sense to me, just don't ask my wife........... she just rolls her eyes after all these years.

I keep one side of the shop for her car - the rest of it has so many left over parts sitting around that my trucks sit outside.

Is this a great hobby or what??!! Nice to hear from you again Rick.

It make sense to me too, but I'm not going to bring it up to the wife:blah: , thats why I came here:D
 
Go for it! I have an old 75 one ton dually crew that I bought for a parts truck that might not end up as a parts truck. I know where there is a 78 just like it I can pick up for $100. I have to get started on the supercab first but that project has to wait until I get moved to the new house.

Yea we were going to sell our house and move down south somewheres, so I was going to get rid of all of it, but now we decided to stay where we are for now, use the equity in the house and start a small buisness, the wife has always wanted a small diner and everybody has to eat. so it sounds like what she has in mind might just work , we found a small place down by a bunch of bars and she wants to stay open until after the bars close and serve drunk food!! I LIKE IT!! I am going to see if I can make it happen for her, besides this way I get to keep all my shet!!??smiliepeelout
