Since my son bought his place in the country he's been junking out a few cars and trucks. I've had the fun of being able to help him out, so he gets in this 84 F 150 4X4 Ford pickup, it's jacked up with big tires. I ask him what's wrong with it and he says he didn't know, sooooooooo I start in on it. Open the hood and it's got a 302 with a 4 barrel, headers, aluminum manifold and chrome valve covers. I removed all of them along with the heads and pushrods.

Problem #1 The owner of the truck shows up and said there wasn't anything wrong with the truck except that the tranny was shot and it was a "Pulling Truck" with a built engine, including cam and lifters, soooooo today I pulled the engine to put with the rest of the parts.

Problem #2 I decide to make a trailer out of the box so I cut off the cab and pull it over to the garage to pinch the frame together to except a hitch. I put a chain through the frame and dragged it over with my truck, unhooked the chain, and tried to pull it by hand and the thing wouldn't turn too good. I called my son to tell him about the Problem, and he says that's not such a bad thing, it won't work for a utility trailer, but now he has a 9 inch with a posi for sale along with a built engine.

I sure have a lot of problems don't I

Well, maybe you do, but it sounds like your son got a couple of problems solved!!!!!!
