Another lunatic committed to the asylum

Hey guys, I've been layin in the weeds here for a while now, figured I might as well engage. I think this is by far the best forum on the TDR with great folks and info. I've owned a couple of normally aspirated ford 7.3's over the years but came to my senses in 99 when I bought a brand spanking new 98 215 hp 5 spd. dodge. Earlier this year, I found a relatively well maintained 91.5 W-250 5spd. ( sorry, no auto-tragics for me ) to replace my 69 ford f-100 work truck that I've driven for the last 29 years. My 98 dodge 215 hp is great and I'm sure I'll keep it (probably indefinitely), but I find myself always driving my 1st gen instead ! I can't help it, I think I just relate better to its old school design. After all, I have been referred to as a dinosaur more than once. Looking forward to future correspondence. Kenny
