Jeez that was a good van 
Sure fit the what I needed when I was on the mend and gave me a goal to fill when I needed it .
My 2000 Ef2fiddy is in rough shape but was a good trailer hauler , the prob with it is that it's a Heinz 57 , a fella built it from 5 worn out plow trucks several years ago , even has a Merican dash in mph Lol
Lately it's gotten temperamental with no power when it decides to so I've been hunting for a replacement , my 500$ Nissan Versa doesn't have a trailer hitch Lol
Should have a new hauler next week , a nice new to me 2000 Ef3fiddy , 2wd but it should haul the trailer

And it's a 7.3
I had done all new wiring and LED lights in the trailer about 6 months ago ($25 at HF).
The problems started when I put a 4" lower hitch on the Truck for the trailer to ride flatter. Then the ground wire got too tight around turns, and started to "stretch". So I put in a pig tail, and it was OK for a bit, then the problems returned. Seems like the front stem of the trailer was no longer grounding to the rest of the trailer. So I drilled a hole in the main body of the trailer and ran some 12 gauge wire, and all is well now! Real PITA to figure out when two things go wrong at the same time! I checked the plug a million times!

Gorgeous! You did a great job on that.
Very nice work, kind the opposite of what I do with the saw marks still in it!!!
Playing that mountain music tonight. One tank down in the 142. About to fire up the 630 I fixed for a friend and let that rip for a while.
Did I show you guys this ?
As I was backing over a brushpile I felt something pushing my left leg into the dash ...

And all you Southerners think you live in a rust belt ...
Outstanding! You'll be right for fire starter for a while too.
Can verify this. I was fishing off a jetty with my brother in law a couple of years ago and he caught something that didn't fight back - we assumed it was just a big stick. Turned out to be a human femur. We released it and sure enough, it didn't float.
Looks great ! what we like to do here is wrap them in precooked bacon, so the scallops don't over cook while trying to get the bacon done. Im no expert, I just love em too !
Ok , my last derailment for the month lol
Look up where Mustang number one got sold.

Wait a minute, I’m in shock. You caught a human femur and released it?!?!?! Is catching human body parts that common in OZ? Where do they come from, Great Whites?
