I heard you guys were getting a cold front back there. I sure don't miss working winters in WI!

I put new tires on the Power Wagon. The old ones had plenty of tread but had more cracks than a nudist colony.
I went from 235-85-16 Goodyears to 265-75-16 Falkens. Pictures will follow. I will slowly morph the truck into a "Macho" type clone/tribute. It will get the blackout treatment and stripes. This is the current picture...

My Dakota got washed last night, it sits outside and we got freezing rain. It sure looks pretty all shinny. My 50 is still sitting in its mangled form in the snow bank in my side yard.

I just looked out the window to confirm both trucks are exactly where I left them Friday. I would take a picture, but me coupe is sitting between the two of them in the snow bank, in my outdoor storage facility along the driveway. Aw heck, a picture anyway.

I installed the correct/factory push pull fuel switch (in cab) and switch on the frame. Took out the "hokey" flipper switch some one cobbled in years ago. After getting my shop manual for my year truck, and going to the wrecking yard for all the parts, all went easy. The hole in the dash for the "hokey" flipper switch is still there, not sure what to do with it?
Here's a few pics.

I don`t drive my Hemi Q.C. much but since snow was forecast last Friday I took it to work ( 30 miles one way commute) my little commuter car is great but not in the snow, to the car wash today for a cleaning ,installed my new Billet third brake light cover ( looks great!) and put the car cover back on until the next storm or racing season.

Made two 60 mile round trips for round hay bales.

1st trip was sunday road into the guys place covered in Ice, truck slid backwards down hill trailer slammed into ditch.

Lots of horsing on it and she pulled herself out.

Monday went back for 2nd load, guys road 6 inches of mud, blew front axel u joint out of truck pulling loaaded trailer thru all that mud.

But got the hay home, and after $25 bucks at NAPA today I have a project for the night.
