I towed Halfbreed to work today so I could take it for a joy-ride on the street where I work.

Good news - it pulls hard and seems happy with it's new body.

Bad news - no 3rd gear at all. It (the computer) will shift it at the correct point but something is wrong with the tranny so it goes out of gear and never resets until I slow way down. So add the first thing to the "fix the 225k mile GM" list.

Towed it back home and continued to work on the floor fill-in. Yes my welding is looking especially smoky as my angle grinder finally went from tits to tits up. I have been limping by with a badly damaged lockout button but now it is completely gone so I have to get a new grinder. So the past few days I have been tack welding without virtually any prep and it shows.

The reason for the funny asymmetrical humpy is the GM tunnel is not centered in the cab but the IH leaf spring sculptured cab ribbing is centered. So my little humpy thing had to have an interesting piece added to one side.
