That IS nice!  Was Scott looking for one?

No, but he has made purchases [remember the vintage grille?] and repeatedly given me the credit for spending his hard earned money!

[Gary Lewis]

I remember the grille, and the speed control tester, which is in my shop at the mo.  So, you are just looking for more "credit"?

If that was my mission, I would ask how much of your hard earned money have I helped you to depart with?

[kramttocs]

Thanks!
That one is definitely going on the watch list.

Glad you have seen it, Scott!

I have no clue, other than "LOTS".  

Talking to my brother yesterday, who has a broken ankle as well as a light dose of COVID and is, therefore, spending a lot of time on his computer.  He said to tell Janey that while he's found MANY Ford trucks he's thought of telling me about, he has refrained and is, therefore, wanting "credit" from her.  So, I guess there are several kinds of credit?

BIN?

[1986F150Six]

Sorry... Buy It Now

And, with shipping included! Scott, this may be the better choice!

Good morning, Gary!

[Gary Lewis]

Morning, David!  I'd not even sipped my first cup of java when I typed that, but even now that I'm almost done with that cup I don't think I'd have gotten it.  So thanks!

[1986F150Six]

The 2nd cup will be even better!

[Gary Lewis]

It is!  The Verona gets me started and the French really opens my eyes.  Meanwhile, Janey brought me a piece of her sour cream coffee cake.  Life is GOOD!

I believe this is the 1st one which "ended":

[kramttocs]

Looks like it. I've been keeping an eye out for a diamond tread pattern one but haven't had much luck. That would go better with my running boards. The extruded isn't bad though...

You have a gift!

I didn't know anyone besides Dee Zee made them.

Thanks David
