Re: Truck update

I have been busy, so since my last update on this thing oh so long ago I went north and got the frame and all the parts I had lying around for the truck. Now all I have to do is go back for the body in the spring. When it got down here I put grade 8 bolts in the motor mounts, put a shifter on the 3 speed cause I always planned on the truck having a floor shifter, and I started working on finishing the rear brake lines. Progress is slow but it's still progress and I can't tell you how happy I am to be working on my truck again. I'm also getting a set of fenders for the truck hopefully tomorrow. They need a bit of work but they're better than not having fenders for the truck.

Fixed the sideways pic.

Glad to see you are working on it again. I bet it does feel good! How far away was your stuff.

Re: Truck update

It got some very weird looks. As for how far away it was I think the rough estimate on Google was 438 miles. Thanks for fixing the pic btw

Re: Truck update

Once again I've been travelling, and once again I returned with something. It's been 5 months since I last went up north and this time I decided I wasn't returning without my truck, so I rented a U-Haul trailer, loaded it up sort of sketchily, was told to grab anything I wanted out of my grandfathers shop (mission accomplished there), and drove it to a dollar general to get some duck tape so the roof wouldn't raise on it. Then I took it to the scrap yard. As much as I loved the camper shell it weighed 400lbs and was causing the truck to sway back and forth too much. After that I stopped in Front Royal at Royal Farms for lunch and gas before hitting 66 and made my way south from there. My normal 7½ hour trip ended up taking 10 hours total but in the end it's totally worth it to finally have the truck down here. July 14th makes 6 years since I bought the truck and we're planning to go back up north in August so I'd like to have the truck on the road by then to show people that I was serious about restoring it and that I do plan on finishing what I started. Anyway that's all I have for now. Start a new job in a couple weeks and will have money to finish the brakes and get wheels and tires then.

Re: Truck update

Wow, quite a story. Got a cool truck, ladder danger, family disagreement, job changes, the works! It's a big deal to have got it all where you are, and I hope that you can start to have fun putting it together.
