Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
It was this past weekend but I am just starting on trying to get my truck running. The truck was my father's and was given to me. It is not running but the motor will turn over. Unfortunately he passed only months before him and I were going to start working on it so I do not know why he parked it to begin with. I was too young to know.
Anyhow, I replaced the dry rotted tires with some free tires from the Discount Tire trash pile. They are off a car but they were 15" so I cannot complain. They look funny but are temporary. I also took off the carburetor and starter to get rebuild. It is the original Rochester Quadrajet and a guy in town says he get it like new again. We will see. I also took out the old hubcaps and cleaned them. They had been hanging in the garage since I was born in 1979. My dad got some chrome mag wheels for the truck that year.
