Cool Drove my 66 for the first time in 2 years yesterday

Finally got the truck back together and in drive able condition. Started just driving it around the family property. Going through the 3 speed just to make sure everything is good. Wash off the mildew off it and did a test drive to the gas station for some 93.

Well I jumped back in the old truck and she didnt want to idle, so gave it some more throttle and went back home. Then on the way back it felt like it wasnt getting any fuel with the secondaries (double pump holley).
After some thinking and talking to my good buddy. It ended up being me not installing the fuel filter on the thing.

I guess all the crazyness with buying a new home and selling the old one, plus busy at work; I was just worried about getting the truck up and going.

Looks like I'll be pulling the carb off this week to clean the trash out of it, plus some other little bug fixing.

Anyways I'm just happy to drive it again. Felt like I was back driving it in high school.

I'll have some photos to post up tomorrow.
