mini me followed me home today...new tow rig project

I'd love to do a 460 but alas,tis not to be. Ole unit 10 is a 92 model with 5.8 and 5 speed. This 93 f250 is set up with the same power train plus factory a.c.
The plan is to do a engine swap between the 2, repair the a.c. amd cruise,clean her up and paint her.
I know everybody loves to go bigger BUT the weight savings going from 4 doors and long tool bed to standard cab long bed,is tremendus. I'm dropping close to 1 ton in weight so for the hauling I do,I'll see a definate improvement plus I haven't had a regular manly style truck in a very long time. I see rifle racks in the back window as I type this.
 
oh and old unit 10 is going to still be a driver and I'm going to pass her on to somebody hopefully starting their own grass business or just use her for what she is.
 
Been hanging out at some property that great friends own just below Mt Pisgah. Been coming here since I was a tike. Wife and i got married here 9 yrs ago.

Fished the upper pond and caught several 20" plus trout. My son has been asking me if fish really live in the river. Pulled a foot long trout out in a section just in front of where the cabin is. I haven't used my fly rod in 6 or 8 years.

Fantastic day!

I learned to fly fish on this pond over 30 yrs ago by the father of the land owner (he was probably pushing 70 when he taught me). Such an amazing feeling being there w my children passing down the same experiences. :D

I have 2 in the same position. Beth said if I spent as much time in the shop working as I do drinking beer with the guys they'd both be done. But I like beer, and it's been too hot since the shop AC died.

Never been a fan of those aftermarket lift pumps for that very reason. It looks dumb and it would be my luck I'd tear the filter off and be stuck somewhere.
