Hidey-Ho Chevy brothers! just checkin' in on this old thread!
Me & Johnny had a blast putting my '66 together that week. I remember the harrowing test drive after - sheesh what a ride! The clamp on the rag joint was stripped and the steering wheel was, uh shall we say, "less than responsive"!
We had just as much fun a few months later scrapping out his '81 C10!
My health is holding and I'm just getting ready to start back in on my truck. The truck is running great today. I still drive it to work now & again. We hauled our 26 ft Airstream camping trailer down 300 miles from Vacaville to Bakersfield when we moved. We had a few problems with the trailer, but the truck ran like a charm!
