Its On The Road
got the brakes bled last night, and took it to the shop,, it passed inspection with flying colors... now for the plates and put it back to work... I swapped rearends, but replaced the seals on the "new to me" on,, new shocks in rear,new rear u-joint now how do I grease it,, my gun wont fit beteen the joints.???, new rear brakes and u-bolts.. added overload springs to the rear from the donor truck.. and new brake lines from front to rear.. more work then I thought and longer then I wanted to (took a year to get around and get it done) but its running again! I'll take some pics, not much to look at yet.. but its mine!
  I posted some pics before on the pictures forum... I'll have to find that link... FINALLY!

It's always nice to get them back under their own power so you don't have to push it around the shop.

LOL,, thanks,, I took the ultimate test this weekend,, a 380 mile round trip to my dad's place,, had to do some work there.. I was getting very nervious when I stated to get a vibration on the highway..but I passed the 1/2 way mark already, so closer to keep going then turning around.. when I stopped for gas (again
) I heard a hissing sound.. getting a flat tire,, good thing I took 2 spares,, these were very old tires.. changed the low tire.. and wow, the vibration was gone! made it back with no other problems.. well,, got to fix the heater! good thing it was normal Jan. temps this weekend!
