gdavis · 07-02-2013, 01:43 PM

Today, it rained again that makes three days in a row. I guess I don't need to work on the old girl. I am trying to collect some parts so when it does slack off, I can show some progress.

cubber · 07-02-2013, 03:00 PM

I hope you get everything worked out, George.

gdavis · 07-02-2013, 08:26 PM

Yes it don't look like tomorrow is going to be any dryier. a lot of rain is coming up from the south towards Cuba. The boys keep asking me. Are we going to work on the truck and I keep telling them maybe tomorrow. The big brown truck came today. I got my new set of arm rest and the dash pad today.

cubber · 07-02-2013, 11:18 PM

Good lookin' bunch of parts there!
Also.....Happy 4th of July!

gdavis · 07-03-2013, 08:22 PM

Well it rained again today. That makes 6 days in a row. Another 1 1/2 thats makes about 10 inches in the lst week. I did get to fix the pass side tire today. It kept on leaking down. Their is a bone yard about 1 mile from my home so I took it over to them. They fixed it up for me. I been doing business with them for years. Only charged 5.00 I think he just wanted to do me a favor. everywhere else is 15.00 and up.

Yea ordering is easy. But paying is a little harder/ Thanks and I like getting parts.

SeTx67 · 07-06-2013, 11:03 PM

I made it through the first ten pages and you've been moving at a blistering pace. I'll try and read the rest tomorrow morning. Keep up the great work if you're not finished already

No I am not finshed with this build. i figure I will drive this truck in the Christmas parade this year. MAYBE

gdavis · 07-07-2013, 11:37 PM

Started in installing my new front rubber brake lines. I had to re-work my brake lines. I thought 3/16 would be ok. I used 3/16 on the front and rear. But I think I will use 1/4 inch to the rear like they should have been. Just a minor set back. My bag. I am waiting on parts anyway.

Mustard72 · 07-08-2013, 12:07 AM

Pretty common mistake, I bet.

Keep up the good work!

George next time ask me if you aren't sure about something, chances are I know the answer and if I don't I can find out.

SeTx67 · 07-08-2013, 10:48 AM

Just caught up on your build. You're a inspiration for some of us younger guys. If I make it to your age I hope I can still get out and enjoy myself like you have been. Keep up the good work

Today, I had to go and pick up my son from camp. he was going to stay a week, but he had a small bruse on his big toe. he has to have about 1/2 of his toe nail removied. so we got him all picked up and got a dr. appointment for Wed. So I did not get anything done on my truck. But tomorrow I will.
