Saying Good Bye

Bills Custom Calls · July 30, 2011, 10:55:01 AM

Thursday morning as i went to leave for work the old truck fired right up and as I headed down the drive it quit running and I got a whiff of wiring getting hot after trying for 2 days to get it running again I did get it started and back up to the house it will take its final journey tomorrow and head to the junk yard

She has been a good truck but the time has come to say good bye

Shoot Bill, she looks like she's just getting broke in! You could probably sell that Gem down at the LBL for a small mint.

But you could also extend it like one of those big rigs.

Bill, I just stopped by to see what's been going on and saw your post

I am sorry to here about your upcoming loss. My condolences go out to you and your family,she looks well used and showing normal signs that come with age. So suck up those tears and give her a proper send off for doing a good job of keeping you and your family safe on those dangerous Ohio roads.

Lets hear it for ole red !!!!

Bill i`d say if you cant do anything with it it must be gone, i hope you can replace it with something that will serve you as well as this one did.

I guess all things come to an end, but you also get a new beginning with the next one.

I had to pull the blinds when I read this one so that my own F150 didnt see the thread.

What year is she Willy? Looks like around 1988/89

The ol girl was born in 1993 she had 193,000 miles on and she had been rode hard and put up wet a few times
The time had come to figure out if I should put more money into this one or buy something else
Not saying I couldn't of found the problems with the truck was did i want to take the time and money to put her back on the road

I had the to do the same thing with my daughters car last week.
I wasn't plannin on it, but she's heading back to college in a few
weeks and I had to have her with something safe on the road,
and I refused to stick any more money into it.
Just do what I'm gonna do, bash the windows out and take her
figure 8 racin !

although, I guess I haven't seen a truck class but,,,,

Yep broke in and comfortable, like a women should be.

Need to sya goodbye to an old gal here too that's not used anymore. She's not wore out, but I am and can't get in her saddle anymore. Well, actually I can fall in, I just can't get back out without a cherry picker (pun intended).
