Re: Did I missFront end Friday
TGIF, Brothers...
[Cellphone photo] Funny, I drove this truck to the movie theater to see the original ''Star Wars'' [One then, now revised to # IV] first run. Had to trim about 2'' off the bottom of the sunscreen to fit my vintage cab. Leaning hard on the RH West Coast Jr mirror.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
I just got this one back together. The hood is back on too, just didn't get a picture of that 'cause it was raining tonight when we set the hood on.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
Not a 67-72 but my mechanic told me to get a truck "built in this century."
A 2003 Tahoe 2WD, with a Vortec 4800 V8. [Coincidently 292 cubic inches but not an L6.] Just getting familiar with its goofy computer quirks. Still have the '71 Jimmy and '68 Stepside.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
That pic qualifies for Windshield Wednesday.
Although, since it's new, there's some confusion on whether it means pics looking out the windshield, or pics of the windshield. But the World's big enough for both points of view.

Re: Did I missFront end Friday
Well, it's being the Merry Trickster. I had to find the Child Safe window lock to get the Door #3 window up after parking at the ADOT/MVD to get it registered yesterday. [I can re-use my '92 Subaru Legacy plates. In AZ they designate the owner not the car.]
Also a loose negative battery terminal bolt would cause blackouts at the worst times. Naturally, I haven't got a trouble kit rigged up for it yet. And whenever I put the shifter back in Park, all the door locks unlatch. No OEM Fob, so I have to chase down each of the 6 doors to lock it up. [It's got barn doors.] On the way home from the PO's house, the Fuel Empty light ''Gonged'' on me, and I had to feed it 22 gallons of Regular. It wouldn't take any more. In fighter pilot slang, that's a ''Bingo'' Light. Thirsty sucker. Takes after her greatgrandmother White Fang, the '67 K/10 Suburban with a 454. I'm finding new gripes every day. Guy at NAPA R&R'ed the D/S Headlamp bulb. That was easy. But it handles good, and stops well. Something WF had trouble with. ![]()
