Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Certainly sounds like a marathon weekend. That’s a lot to get done all at once. It’s a great feeling turning a pile of parts into something that actually runs. Good for you!

What a cool shot. Nice that your daughter wanted the truck in some photos. We have similar photos of our old 46 in front of the church at our daughters wedding. The car is long gone but the photos keep the memories fresh.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

well, unfortunately a broken harmonic balancer on my "69 C-30 has derailed progress on the 'Burb for a few days. Got engine out, figured good time to seal all the leaks and clean things up a bit. Putting engine back in on sat, got to have for work on Monday.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

I needed to have my tires balanced, so while I was at it, I had the installers turn the tires around so that the raised white letters were out. The PO liked the blackwalls and I prefer the RWL. Some 0000 steel wool to the smoothies and the setup now looks good enough for me to move the "new wheels" item way down on my list of needs.
