Well, I don't know but the missing coil spring might be more significant....:D

To OP, don't take us serious, we're like this all the time. :thefinger:
Springs just make the ride bouncy. Then you need shocks. It's just a big snowball of extra parts.

When i bought my 77 the original motorcrafts were on it (in 2012) and you could get the front end bouncing hard enough with you knee on the bumper to about get the front tires up.

Rode like a lincoln of the same era though

Damn its scott. Youre trucks really changed since the middle 00s when we last chatted lol
No kidding... back when I was in college when we chatted on AOL I think I don't believe it was 4x4 yet... in '05 or '06 it was converted to 4x4, then in '09 it was turbocharged, then sometime in 2010 or 2011 it was lifted on 35's... couple engine rebuilds later here we are... leaking more oil than ever from somewhere in the turbo area...

Anyone with a brain in their head knew they were data mining. Ppl just don’t care, as long as they get their fix. As for me, I had to sign up for my career (if you’re in TV, it’s how you find out about gigs). But yeah, FB is sh@t. Hope Zuckerberg gets his ass handed to him some day.

Firefox has an add-on that puts Facebook into a sandbox, so no datamining anywhere else in your browser. FF calls it "multi account containers" and has a special one just for facebook.
