Re: Gray oil
Your oil looks great to me also. On my new vehicles (late 90's is new, right?) the oil stays clear so long it's difficult to see where it is on the mark. Drive away and enjoy, and don't forget we...

Re: Covid excuse to play hookey
Safe at Home! Quite the ride down interstate 5 on Friday. 65 was no problem with 3.70 gears and 33" tires. Driving in the middle lane with a semi on each side at 65 was somewhat unnerving. Got a...

Re: F68/F3 wheels again!
Maybe Stu 'Truckdog' McMillan will chime in. You haven't told us the year, but since the F3 was built from 1948-1952, that;s the range. I had a '51 F3 and I used typical steel wheels from '90s F250...

Re: Penetrating Oil Information
This has been my 'go to' for many years. Unfortunately it has become increasingly hard to find. And you definately do not wanna dump any of this in your wife's washing machine.

Re: Surf boards? No thanks
It's a pretty special piece. Most of the survivors are in museums and I don't know of an example that is in running condition. That training wheel type of stand is something I built for rolling it...

Thanks Neighbor, but I stay plenty busy in my woodshop, listening to my music and keeping warm by the woodstove, so I'd probably sink a second business. In fact I am absolutely swamped with work...

Re: Surf boards? No thanks
I'd probably have my ass in a sling if it showed up here, but a Long WB panel that DRY only shows up once in a lifetime. Let's keep in touch.

Re: Surf boards? No thanks
