Boy, are you ever going to be mad (after all you did for that fellow who purchased you truck), if the Leafs ever beat the Canes in the playoffs. Wait a minute...................you're ok.......that will never happen. What was I thinking. The Leafs haven't made it to the first round in seven years.

Very, very nice 235. NOT fault finding but I'd suggest you put something on the exhaust manifolds so they don't rust/crust up and ruin the beautiful look of that. Eastwoods has a brush paint that is supposed to cure with heat and look like a new casting. Have heard good things but never used it. Congrats, niiice engine

Here is what the POR exhaust looks like put on but not fired up. Really liked it because is flowed nicely, no brush marks, and is not tacky or flaky like the spray bomb stuff.

Swapped the old 250 cube 6 & the attached toyota 5 speed, plus a disassembled 454 for a 28 Model A Tourer, thats mostly complete, tho fully disassembled.

We replaced the 250 & manual with a 350/700R4 combo over the past six weeks.

Got the right side cab corner welded on, and started fabing up the left side. First time welding in a patch panel, i think it turned out good enough for the woman i date!

Put the bed, bumper, tag, and taillights on and went for a drive. Got one minor issue to work out, no rear emergency flashers, but all else works. I picked up a column mounted backup light switch on EBay so I'll address the emergency flasher issue when I get back under the dash to install that.

I have paid insurance for three years and bought three tags for this truck with out driving it so for now I just want to drive it, LOL.

I haven't seen my truck in a few weeks. However, I did a tonne of planning today, budgeting, etc. This fall should get good :D
