New Old Guy

Roger here, up in Puyallup, WA. I've got a rig that might be familiar to some of y'all. I traded my '78 Crap brown bronco for tattooed Bastard's former '76 F150, affectionately dubbed "The Booger".

Recently sold my trailer 'cause it hauled hot rods and sports cars a hell of a lot better than it does a full-size wheeler with wide swampers. Hopefully picking up a new (to me) one soon, that's more compatible with this hobby, and one of my first planned trips is to make it to Po'Boy country for a run.

Hope you got something good going this coming spring, 'cause I figure the Booger's gonna be ready to sling some snot by then.

Roger.

good to hear from ya, wich booger did ya get? the white one he brought down here a couple months ago? We should have something happening in the spring.

No, it's the Green F150 that's in the member section on Broke Bastards site. I think the white one was a parts truck he just cut the fenders out and wheeled with you guys that one time. The white one has a cleaner body, but how long would that last wheelin'? Especially with all you full-contact types around?

Anyway, it's down for a while to install hi-steer, new gears in the front, new diff in the rear (ff 60), and either repair the old t-case linkage or twin stick it.

Longer range plans include redoing the body/frame (much like the bright green F150 in TTC 2005), rear mounting the batteries and radiator, and swapping out the 'tween rails gas tank for a bed mounted fuel cell. Now all I need is $$$...

Nice to meet you roger. We're usually up your neck of the woods for the big swap meet every year.

Nice plans. Get it goin and come down on the weekend. You can usually find a few wheelin'. Post up for a weekend at TSF and I know One will be there if not more. The wife and I got a couple runners. She's gotta stay on easy ones in her Mitsy.
