My Maiden Voyage

[C20-67_N_MO]

Well this evening was my first test drive since I bought my 1967 Chevy Suburban! Made the deal on Halloween 2010 and the transmission was not working. So in between work and other life events this was my first test drive since I owned the beast!

We put the transmission and transfer case in just after 5.5 hours of work. And it seemed like it fought us the entire time! Wasn't able to install the front drive shaft as the cap came off and lost all the needle bearing so will deal with that another day.

And WOW! I was a very hot day to be working under a truck!

But am I please it went well after some hick-ups. The drive was nice, but the brakes are very scary to say the least. My steering wheel doesn't line up correctly and my buddy said a front-end alignment will take care of that. Not very sure about that one. But it drive straight and shifts very smooth, so for the moment I am happy!
