Well....replaced the Tie Rod end, aligned it, found bad grounds at both headlights, screwed the plates to the back end and drover her a$$ around some more last night.
Man what a great feeling. The 5 speed works great, the front end is tight (or as tight as you can expect really), and it rides...well.... like a truck.... but maybe a new 1964 truck! Hahahahah

So now I need to turn my efforts towards making it comfortable to drive, then cosmetics.

Just ordered the rubber filler tube for the gas tanks as it smells terribly of fuel in the cab. Also picked up all the window felts and door to cab seals as well.

So this weekend is probably going to be spent on the following:

1.Heater motor
2.Door latches (dont latch well...imagine that)
3.Sealing up any firewall leaks (engine smells)
4. Bleed the brakes
5. get the choke and high idle stuff sorted out.
6. maybe clean it up and throw a bit of paint on some areas in need.
7. bolt the steps and brackets on.

Here is her venture out to Walmart.
