Re: What did you get done? Memorial day edition.

Fabbed up and welded on my exhaust on Thursday night and left for East Texas on Friday. This was the first time in 2 years that I have ever drove the truck. I made a lot of mods and all of them worked! The only thing I had to do was make numerous adjustments to the carb along the way(since I had rebuilt it). It is better now but still a little off. It likes to bog a little and pop out the carb with my foot in it. I do have to figure a few things out tough. The Tach cluster I put in is way off. I guess that the tach is for a stright 6?? Can I do something to correct this?? After I was on the road for a while the speedo was jumping around. Might be the cable but with my luck it's the speedo itself. I believe the the carrier bearing and u-joints need to be replaced! Once I made it out to East TX, I got it inspected and it passed!!! What a relief! I can drive it now and not feel like a criminal! lol....j/k....Other than that, sat inside and watched a lot of movies b/c of the rain and sinus's killing me. Did manage to get on the roof and clean the gutters and clean all the windows on the 2nd level at my mom's!
