Wheres Ethel?

JRE · 01-23-2013, 03:19 AM

One of my all time favorite trucks.

Alvin · 05-24-2013, 08:20 AM

Hey guys, I'm still alive and Ethel is closer than ever to being alive! Hoping to finish up the wiring this weekend and finally get her running. If all goes well, she'll be driving down the road real soon. Here's what has been tying me up for the past 6 months.

RRC · 05-24-2013, 09:04 AM

Congratulations !!!

AWESOME, cant wait to see more !

**Palf70Step** · 05-24-2013, 12:39 PM

Congrats again on the little one. Glad to see the truck moving forward again.

Alvin · 05-24-2013, 01:10 PM

Thanks guys! Pulled out the title (since it wasn't driveable I couldn't get it inspected/licensed 6 years ago) and it still shows a lien on the front. Trying to get the bank (in MO) to send the required documentation, but they have to contact the previous owner (in MO) for permission. Hoping this doesn't turn into a bigger mess than it already is!

Alvin · 06-24-2013, 01:48 PM

Title problems were resolved pretty easily. Hoping to pull her out this evening (if the weather cooperates) and see if she'll start and run.

*fingers crossed*

Thanks guys! Really excited to get her moving. Hoping to get over to the exhaust shop sometime next week at the latest. Still a list of things to do including getting the seat and seat belts bolted in, wrapping up some wiring (literally wrapping it), changing the axle oil, and of course some test drives around the neighborhood.

Low Elco · 06-26-2013, 12:43 PM

Congrats on the roll-out!

Can't think of many things better then hearing a truck fire up after a long period of time.

Thanks guys! It was very exciting to finally get her started. I was dreading whatever problems were going to crop up with trying to get her started but it went really well.

I picked up some things at the store today. Hoping to get her moving on Saturday. Will have more pics and maybe video then, so stay tuned!
