Lynn, glad you enjoyed it! That is funny about the wife not putting you out when you were on fire, good visual! I went over to the other forum and checked out your build but was disappointed that I need a login to see the photos. I'm not sure why so many forums do that; I may go back and sign up so that I can see the pictures. I had followed a few of your posts since you've been on here and thought that you had posted at least one picture on thsi forum but couldn't find it just now.

Oh, I am proud to be in the retard club myself

This one is for you deer hunter, I think this qualifies as "blub blub blub" rather than rice

Driving the C50

If you wear headphones to listen you get a much better idea how deep this truck's voice really is. FYI; I've never even tuned the motor up, the 89 ran that good when I bought it! Since taking the video I hit the clutch linkage with some PB Blaster and quieted the squeak.

At about 45 seconds you can see a shift of the two speed rear - nice and quiet, just the way we like it!

At the end of the vid check out the oil pressure and nice cool temp. We were over 100 degrees that day outside.

What you can't see in the video is that there was no bed on the truck at that point. This gets me almost caught up to where I am on this thing.
