Truck is a great deal for the buyer at £6450.00 plus all the spares and 12 months TüV Astro needed some care. I am not yet finished.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Life goes on at Grizz-Towers.
George has kinda gotten used to me being back home from the USA but still comes in for super cuddles or a bit of time with me, which I enjoy. He is way beyond the level of Gabby the feral at @ivanhoew but still his own,guy. So a few holes, nuts, washers and tightened…… Needs a bit of automotive carpet inside the base box. Job done. Also had some lightweight fun yesterday. I am not planning any more stickers, and the one on the rear door will be removed once I find it unfunny. Bought because it always made me smile The van does not need stickers. This one I got from Tyler in the USA is a bit silly, but will make people do a double take. Deeply placed on the firewall. Struggled with afternoon light to get this pic taken. Flying eyeball from Tyler as well. And Tripp Jones Racing from Dennis is for his grandson who already is being prepped, like son Adam was, for a potential future in racing. And the one that will not stay on for very long…. But I like it. Late afternoon, mate Kevin came over in his very smart VW camper to visit and also to check out the Astro. Of course I had to take him out for a run. Nervous? Came back, and it seems he approves. He and his wife just came back from three weeks in Oregon and Washington states, which they loved. Next job is to identify all the suspension lubrication points and then to get the van down to,the garage, get it raised up on the ramps or even higher, and grease all the various points. Looking after stuff usually makes it last longer. .

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Seems to me, I am spoiling the readers on here.
Way too much story telling and posting. So it is time for a LUBE JOB I think that when you service a vehicle or machine, you mostly extend its life. So one of the things I wanted to do was clean up and grease all the moving parts with a nipple today. Consulting the GM service manuals I was gifted by Tony, I printed off the one page with all the lubrication points to take to the garage, rather than mess up the manuals. Haynes Manual was an outright failure. All on one one page. So I got going. Swapped around the cars and truck. YouTube content I hear you say. Hopefully a guide. Getting a rise out of this lube job yet? So looking under the front end, the grease points were all a bit dirty and the grease was hardened. When last was this thing lubbed up ? Maintenance ? Errrmmm. So I crawled around, cleaned up and lubed up under there. Result. So another job done today, in order to get keep this little gem on the road.
