Hello North bend
I used to stop into the Casey’s for a smile from the pretty ladies and pizza when I was driving back and forth between Omaha and Columbus.
There's one hot old mama there I really like but I think she has a man
If you want to friend up I'm in Omaha
My names Michael Ederer and my company is ECI Ederer's Contracting Inc. we're on facebook
I don't have any work to hire i'm looking for a job myself lol.
Nebraska passed a law requiring contractors to get licenses so right now I can't pull permits anymore until I get a contractor's license
Old trucks around here are pretty cheap. a dime a dozen and laying around all over the place.
I'm driving a 2000 f150 with 184,000 miles on it and the 4.6 gets around 20 mpg on the highway
Cars that old that aren't butchered and are solid are pretty rare.
I went to Tulsa and dragged home a 76 f250 supercab with a tired motor I'm going to turn into a 4x4.
My other running truck is an 86 chevy dually with a 350. th400 and 3.22 gears
It got 10mpg with the 4:11's it get's 12 with the 3.22's but now my towing mpg is down to 6mpg from 8.
I'm putting a Pontiac 400 in for more torque. it will do as good or better than the 350 chevy.
I had a diesel in it that got 18 mpg I might just swap a 6.2 back in but this 350 is built and this truck really gets up and goes and I know i'd like the power of the 400
But practically... unless were all going to be making over 50k a year... gas is too expensive
Right now my 350 at 12mpg is maybe less than 10% more expensive than the diesel was
Except for towing. The diesel also got 18 towing. 18 vs 6... long trip... money talks.
As a 45 year old guy who (excuse me) incidentally doesn't have any kids of his own
I would have to say judging my from experiences with MY father regarding old cars when I was under his roof.
My dad likes old cars. My first was a$500 55 chevy pickup
It wasn't an issue that I liked old stuff, he just didn't like seeing me dumping everything into them.
So if you want the car your going to have to come up with a pitch your dad is going to consider.
It's most likely he sees the car as a money pit and the pickup as a reliable money maker.
You will probably do well deciding to get rid of your other project to have this one by selling it or giving it to your dad to build before he'd be comfortable with you getting.
it.
most likely it isn't something related to the car you want that is the reason your father is against you getting it. expand your perception slow down listen to him and find out WHY he's against it.
"You never let me do anything" kinda talk doesn't get you anywhere XD
i have a hoarding problem. see, i found this. 1952 Plymouth Coupe 2dr that runs and drives just needs new tires for $1500.00 well i got a very Sellable 81 F150 that runs good. i want this car badly but my parents dont want me getting rid of the Truck. and it sucks cause if i got rid of the truck my dad wont insure anything else... what do i do? because it would just look so beautiful to have my 49 Deluxe and this 51 Plymouth next to each other. and the Plymouth runs good the guy says...
