Submitted both of mine. One is already up (thanks, Gary!), and the other I just submitted tonight now that I was able to get some last minute repairs done (first a blown brake line, then a bad alternator/serpentine belt/tensioner).

I technically have a 3rd Blue Oval, but I don't think we need my wife's 2002 Escape with a peeling interior and rust so bad it might not be roadworthy stinking up the show. Unless you all need blooper reel material?

1984 F150: 300 L6, AOD, RWD. EEC IV / TFI, Feedback Carter YFA Carb. Stock everything but radio (for now).

Yep, Larry, I see your second entry in my email and will work it soonest.

For the rest of you slackers, please don't wait until the last minute! It takes me a bit of time to create the individual page for each entry and link to it from the 2020 Truck Show page.

AS A REMINDER, THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS MIDNIGHT THE 13TH, CENTRAL DAYLIGHT TIME. ANY SUBMISSION POSTED TO ME AFTER THAT WILL NOT BE ENTERED.

And even then, the late entries may be simply "what you see is what you get". IOW, you won't have time to review what I post and correct little glitches either of us made.

He speaks the truth... so many glitches in my 1st entry that Gary so kindly fixed. All my own fault too...

Larry - your latest entry is up: http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/entrant-13-ratdude747s-95-ranger.html

The rest of you need to check out Larry's two entries. The bar has been raised.

Re: 2020 Virtual Truck Show Planning - Input, Please!

Thanks for the prompt work and the complement.

Considering that my drivetrains are stock and that my voice on camera makes me sound like an eccentric egghead, I didn't think I was setting the bar that high...

I’m not commenting on the trucks as that wouldn’t be fair. Instead, I’m commenting on the entry post. The write up. 👍

I know some of you are wondering "what is in it for me" to enter the show. The Awards tab on our page at Truck Shows/2020 Truck show lists the vendors that I've contacted and what they are contributing - or not.

Any chance of a “longest time in the shop” category? If not, I will wait to enter next year. I may have Espy back by then!

1985.5 F-150 XL Explorer standard cab 5.0 EFI AOD 4x4
Daily Driver. We call her Eunice the Ute.

1982 Bronco XLT Lariat 351W AOD 4x4
Code name Esperanza, or Espy to her friends. Please see my Project thread for the blow by blow.

1984 F-350 XL Centurion crew cab 460 T19 4x4
"Eylza Dual-little"

It is too late to change the classes, but I think Espy would lose to Dad's truck on the longest-time-in-the-shop race. I'd have to go back and check in FTE, but it has probably been almost 8 years.

But go ahead and enter. Dad's truck is entered.

The last time my crew cab ran was October 2013, so you are with sympathetic company! 😇

Of course, it does not help when other projects cut in line 😅. First my ‘81 now the ‘95 F Superduty. Function before perfection seems to be a theme with my fleet.

SHORT BED 4-DOOR DIESEL: 1986 F350 4x4 under construction-- 7.3 IDIT ZF5+GVOD

STRAIGHT SIX 4X4: 1981 F150 2wd to 4x4-- 300 I6 close ratio diesel T19, hydroboost brakes, Saginaw steering

BIG F: 1995 F-Superduty under construction— converting to 6.9L IDI diesel ZF5+DNE2

Yep, Big Blue cut in line on Dad's truck. But, I'd come to the realization that Big Blue could be useful and fun, and would take less time to transform than it would be to finish Dad's truck.
