the damm DMV!/Anybody take their truck hunting?

[passthebuck]

Hi all. I've been trying to get my red 67 on the road for hunting season which starts monday. So monday I took it in to get "saftied" here in Manitoba. That involves a govt-type inspection that sez you vehicle must meet "these" requirements. All was cool except for 4 things: 1)upper left balljoint 2)front shox 3)4 boxbolts missing 4)the carb is leaking gas. The first 3 were easy! box bolts, shox & the balljoint are simple BUT the carb was evil. The tank is full of rust apparently & plugged the carb BIGTIME. There was 1/8" of rust/crap in the bottom of the float bowl that was holding the needle open, which flooded the carb, which caused fuel to spurt out the throttle-shaft, which is unsafe in Manitoba. SO no truck will be comming hunting with me this year. Ever tried to load a deer into your trunk? I have a big car BUT its a tough lift if he's a good sized buck. Sorry guys for the crabbing but as you know, the best laid plans always can go awry. SIGH. Anybody else out there take their truck hunting?
