I just got a free truck! did you get a free truck? noooooo you didn't! only i get free trucks! and it's a beaut, too! 1970 F-250 with a 360 V8, C6 auto tranny, a canopy, and a bed full of spare parts for various rigs. it has some dents and rust, but the boddy is solid, not rusting through anywhere. the last owner gave...

well, i just went out with this girl that i met last week... it's 8:30 and i'm already home. i think it's safe to assume that this isn't going anywhere, which sucks because i was really beginning to like her. i didn't even get a good-night kiss, or even a hug... nothing. why am i even telling anyone this?

dammit, dammit, DAMMIT! i'm gonna' have to pull the fuel tankout of my ougar to remove the in-tank fuel pump..... this oughta be fun
emperor_tane:
Huh?? Sorry I am mechanically inclined.. All I know about cars is you have to put gas in them to go, turn on the lights when it gets dark, and the funny round thing on the drivers side, controls which way the car goes..

pulling the gas tank is actually pretty simple, the only thing that's going to make it difficult is the 20 gallons of fuel in it.... i suppose i could syphon it out, tastes i hate syphoning gas! it tastes terrible!

well, i primed my carb today and got my Cougar to start..... it ran for 5 glorious seconds before sputtering and dieing for lack of fuel..... back to the fuel system, AGAIN! oh, and i got a new hat, it's really cool. it's black with an Iron Cross on the front and flames on the bill.

emperor_tane:
An 11B!! Are you serious. Infantry.. I guess if that is what you want. Ugh! Bad memories and I was never around the Infantry very much..
