Turns out she's age appropriate....*whew* that was close! lol

 

one: loves my 50 truck

two: carrying my tools at the junk yard

three: driving to my place with her dog moose

 

Steph is the real deal. After 10 years a widower, I've found someone who gets my love of old trucks. You're right Mark.....I'm a lucky guy.  ^_^

Ok....its just a bit more than 2 months to the BBQ.

 

Time to shake it down and road test the beast!!!

 

Make sure you have a tool box, a box of parts AND temporay part makers...ie duct tape, wire, clips, and clamps!

Read up on quick remedies* for road repair...bring your manual (CD or hard copy)!

Nothing like being ready and getting out of a silly bind. And you get to share your triumph at the Q!

* If your carburetor floods, spraying WD-40 or ether will dry out the carb and manifold....learning this at the race track has saved me numerous times on the road when testing engine set ups. WD-40 and ether sprays are highly flammable, so use them with caution.

Still trying. Hit 60mph for 15 minutes the other day. Need earplugs. (And seat-belts)

plug all the firewall holes from the engine side, put in a quality sound barrier, then for temporary help get a good rug for the floor. According to "Quiet Ride" a lot of the noise is through the vibration of the floor and firewall. Yet leave that truck at 6O mph for an hour and it will find a nice 'quieter' hum, sit back and relax. "It's the Sound of Mopar".

See you at the wedding, ops, I mean Q. lol {John is bringing is Winchester, the shop will be the Cathedral! LOL

Hey Tim! Great flyer. I'l be there. Charlie's coming over on the 21st to help me with the differential leak.  I guess we're going to pull the axles - yuk! :( Might have donuts and coffee in the am and pizza and beer for lunch (or, the other way around - depending on how it goes...).

Its not as bad a job as it sounds. You have everything on hand you'll be cleaning up by lunch.
