What did you do with your truck today, Part 3 - Page 91 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MARTINSR · 12-23-2018, 12:02 AM

I had a visitor at the house today too, with cmayna (Craig) coming buy to get a little part I had for him. We had a nice chat with his truck and mine, it was a nice bit of the day for sure. He drove his basically original truck (got a later 235 and a stereo LOL) over from across the SF bay and this truck is SOOOOOOO damn cool it's crazy! He posted this photo a while ago.

I thought it was cool seeing it in the photo but in person, wow, it is beyond cool.

Thanks Craig for the visit!

I anticipate a much easier installation. But at this price I'd better not damage these!

Cool its always nice to share a vendor and products you are happy with.

I continued a centuries old Christmas Tradition disassembling a rear end with my brother.

That's a little weird, Brian, but I hope you had a great time!

**oldman3** · 12-25-2018, 12:16 AM

Brian, what's the ratio, and are the axle shafts the good ones???..Jim

MARTINSR · 12-25-2018, 02:45 AM

Jim, I ended up finishing the day with food poisoning after lunch. We are talking going to the hospital and all. I am still KNOCKED OUT by it, I will likely be staying home tomorrow when my family goes to my sister-in-law's house for Christmas.

I am really screwed up, hope it's over by tomorrow sometime but I don't see it.

evilokc, that was funny, you are so not right in the head!!!

Brian, get better soon, I had food poisoning once 30+ years ago and I'm still finicky about what I eat.

**oldman3** · 12-25-2018, 12:28 PM

Hey Brian, sorry for the bad food. That's nothing you can fix in a day. Take care...Jim

MARTINSR · 12-25-2018, 12:41 PM

What's funny is I eat ANYTHING, I go to restaurants with food from all over the earth, Afghani, Pakistan, Mexican, Korea, I LOVE food. I go to a different restaurant every time ordering the first thing I don't have any idea what it is on the menu! I LOVE food and am blessed with all we have just blocks from my house let alone the whole SF bay area.

So the funny thing, I went out with my brother yesterday who is NOT like this. We went to a 40 year old Americana restaurant at a ledgendary location in town. I have seen photos of this building (different name) in the fifties. I got a boring old American lunch that was miles from the crazy stuff I usually get.

So it's damn funny that my brother who freaks about the stuff I usually go out and get took me to a place that got me sick as a dog!

I am still feeling pretty funky but it's NOTHING like I felt yesterday. That was really really bad.

so you didn't get your 5 min in on the truck? BAD SANTA!!
when I lived in Hayward we always went to this little hole in the wall Mexican place on A street. seems like the board of health was always shutting it down.
I love all kinds of food and im convinced that the spices used in international food is better for you than the bland American style dishes.
have a Merry Christmas.

Yes, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Well - I didn't eat anything exotic today (my wife is making "stir fry" for supper, though...), but I DID get to do a LITTLE on my 47. I managed to get the front axle on and bolted down, the front shocks installed, and a few small items painted. Not much, but any progress is progress...

nvrdone · 12-25-2018, 09:37 PM

brian - that place was on A street up near 5 corners / mission blvd. but that was a long time ago. we moved to seattle in 1981.

I remember one near the RR tracks, sounds like the one.

evilokc · 12-27-2018, 01:34 PM

the death rattle made an appearance at Christmas. it impressed the crowd as usual. really need to get back to wrenching on it.

MARTINSR · 12-27-2018, 02:09 PM

Sooooooo, I ended up in the ER yesterday, WHOO HOOO

Stayed there until after midnight so I was in the ER on my birthday, is that cool or what!

Food poisoning, virus, they aren't quite sure. All I know is it felt like my intestines were tied in a knot with a 5lb rock trying to get through!

Yep, I was feeling almost normal by then though so believe me it was a GREAT birthday present.

MARTINSR · 12-27-2018, 02:18 PM

Thanks Jim, I just opened my birthday gift from my family, an inflatable kayak! I have wanted to get one for so long, never bit the bullet so it's damn cool they chose it for me. I can't wait to get out and give it a try!
