Not much luck with the driving part just yet. I did bring it back home today, but hopefully get the kinks ironed out and driving a lot more very soon.

Here are a couple pics I forgot to post.

Hit the junkyard today. Scored some brown visors which turned out to be the bright blue I was looking for after I cleaned them. Just used some Clorox disenfecting wipes.




Cleaned the clips but they didn't turn out as nice. I'll try some brillo pads next.



Adjusted the float in the carb. Wouldn't start. Plugs were fouled bad so I swapped in another set. Still wouldn't start so I checked for spark and got nuttin'. Coil went cablooey, go figure. Luckily I had a spare coil cause they're just damn handy to have laying around. BANG! She fired up, but the miss was still there. So I tweaked the timing, then re-adjusted the float (supposed to be 1/4" it's now set at 1/2" until I can get a new brass float). retweaked the timing, then the idle air screw some more, then the timing again just for good measure. Ran a black mark down the street and she's humming good now. There's still a tiny tiny miss, hopefully the new float might cure, if not I'm not sure what's next. But I'm happy cause it's running good. ;}~

So my son Joe and I cleaned up the interior a little more. Wiped all the greasy fingerprints off of everywhere. He's only 2 so he more or less just wiped the windows down with the dirty rags haha. Tomorrow we ride.

Holy smokes what a score on the visors, who could have guessed they would be such excellent condition under all that grime!

No more updates on this one. Sold it yesterday. I'll start a new thread on my Grandpa's 1970 LWB when I get started on it. Had to sell or loose my Grandpa's truck.
