Re: '67 Stepper "Laymond"

Well ZERO work has been done to the truck in the last month. Work and life has been busy with no time for the truck. Other than the fact I'm dying to get the front end under the truck it hasn't been a big deal. I'm still debating on keeping the auto or going with a t56. As much as I'd like to have a manual, I'm thinking about sticking with the auto with the possibility of a turbo down the road.

Summer seems to be packed with vacations and boating so I'm going to spend some time planning, saving money and doing what I can, when I can. Next purchases are my front brakes and PB trailing arms. Will be ordering the TAs either this month or next and the front brakes shortly after. Progress should start picking up towards the end of summer.

I decided last month that the Tahoe has lived a good life as a DD after nearly 258,000 miles and purchase a new DD. The dealership wasn't going to give me hardly anything for it so I decided to keep it for now and use it as a "beater". Its still too good a vehicle to put out to pasture.

The new ride: Acura MDX. This car is actually really fun to drive and gets better mileage than the Tahoe.
