Look at the room under that hood!!!! WOW that brings back memories. How many sensors you think are on that motor? Maybe....... ZERO... LOL. Just having some fun. I'm glad your up and about and back on the road. If your interested, I had to push back the cochlear a few months because we had to go to NY and get dad out of assisted living and into full time care. We were going to bring him here to Florida but I'm the only one here and my sisters are in NY. It was a better choice. Ironically we are doing the exact same thing with her "wife's" mother about 6 miles down the road. I'll be 61 on July 6th and it will be my turn soon enough. Got out one time this year to the beach the rest has just been crazy.... Anyway, I'm so glad you are able to get another shot at life I hope the rest of us are as lucky. Take care and God Bless.

Just one sensor, the temperature sensor for the temp gauge.
And one in the gas tank for the gas gauge. LOL

Thanks Joe. Its tough when our parents get to that point. Mom was in an assisted living facility for about 1 year, dad was in a rehab place for about 2 weeks when he decided it was time. Dad made it to 92 and mom was 89. That was about 12 years ago. They pasted 6 months apart.

My 3 sisters al lived out of state so my brother and I took care of them. It was out turn.

I'll be 69 in a few more months. Pretty grateful that I have survived cancer and the accident. And the TT worked out great for me. I'm going camping n it later this week.

You truck reminds me of my first truck, bought it new in 1976 F250.
Paid $5000, those were the good old days!
Hauled my first camper on it a 1968 Teardrop Royal Coachman and later a 30ft 5th wheel Prowler.

I wish my 76 was new. [emoticon]

I did buy this one new, an F-250 Ranger XLT 4-wd back on June 8, 1979.
It was loaded and it cost me close to $8400.

Dude, a nice popup or small aluminum sided hardside TC would work great on the ole F250!
If you now didn’t have matching campers!

Thanks Grit dog,
Neither one of those would be enough TC for me, my last one spoiled me.

Finding this Jayco was a fluke. I couldn't have found a "matching" TT if I had wanted one. [emoticon]
