I dont mind companies making a buck, but dont say you are a free host for 14 years then say you arent.

I got the front clip on and the rad in.
I have been on contract more lately which is good for the purse but not for the projects.

I needed the bed from the back yard, luckily my wife was home so I went ahead and did it myself. work smarter not harder, these dollies have paid for themselves several times over.

wouldnt start without some gas in the TBI, and even then wouldnt stay running. found a ground off, then still no joy in mudville.

I got this donor from the guy who bought the 65. he came by today to tell me I was imagining all the parts I had to replace and how good the condition was of this truck. (just kidding, although he was surprised at everything that needed replaced) he brought the 65 I sold him for a visit. he had just finished the interior. for those not aware, this is a 65 C10 big window shortbed I put on a 98 S10 4 cylinder chassis.

still some work to do today but working on the fuel pump in 100 degrees wore me out a little. I always do first starts outside with a fire extinguiser and hose at the ready.
