Maiden Voyage!
  WOOO HOOO! Thanks to a new carb and a buddy that knows what the heck he is doing under the hood, I got to take the 68 for a short cruise on the block this evening. After sitting in a field for 12 years, and in my driveway since March, it was AWESOME to take it for a spin! Who needs power steering (or rear brakes)! I stalled the three on the tree several times, but I was laughing the whole time. Of course, I couldn't stay away after only a few hundred feet, so I drove it down to my friend's house to drop off a vaccum cleaner. My first truck trip, 2 awesome blocks!  I have lots to do still before we pass inspection, but it is nice to make some real progress. Thanks to all of you guys for the awesome help. This site rocks.
