Got my lectric fan in. 16” fits pretty decent. And revisited the brake booster. Its junk i think. So 97 chevy 1/2 ton is the next donor. Got it in and started modifying pedal. Will take some work but im not not liking it. First move gas pedal, maybe build seat mount tomorrow. Oh, got...

This a/c compressor is being difficult. Theres no way clutch will come off without a fight. So i wedged plate and heated the one flat spring cherry red and left tit to cool. Seems if i get it to relax, it should stop the dragging.

Morning! Not a warm day at all. Slept like a rock last night. I know its the nerve meds helping me sleep as i havent slept well for the last year. Not taking the prescribed amount as i end up in zombie mode. Back in shop. Lots to do. Time is running out…

Very honorable. And having sciatica and losing strength in my legs i could only imagine losing feelings in my hands. Im about to start on Charlie’s Fargo, he almost died in a motorcycle crash a couple years ago. He can barely walk, but wants to get his truck on the road.

Was a day. And not a good one. Brake booster was leaking into cab. When i tweaked pedal rod i shifted a seal. Think i have that sorted out. Key was rough in lock cylinder and column covers werent fitting right. Full size column parts are same as s10, thats a bonus. So fixed that. I put a non...

morning! Rain. I keep sleeping in. Im thinking its the hours im working on the truck, when head hits the pillow im out. And usually 05:00 im up.

Right fender hung. Battery in and truck runs again.

Got lots done.vac’d the a/c and will try filling it when i get it running. Shoukd be able to rin it tomorrow, may hang fenders tonight after supper.

Yup. Seems like decent stuff. Used a 2-1/4” kit on the Fargo.

Supposed to rain. Have to go qualify a vehicle for classic car insurance. May put it off until tomorrow. Make it my errand day. Got the cruise control installed,had to stretch the wires about a foot. I better get the shifter cable done too. Not sure where to mount antenna, maybe back of cab...

As wrong as it is, it works. I have witnessed “mechanics” use the fork to replace pitman.

Same. I would have gone in the house and flipped the breaker, made a coffee and watched my surveillance camera.

Morning! Sunny now, but supposed to rain. Lots to get done.

May 23 we are heading to Alberta. I want to take Studebaker. Need a few days of abusing it first.

Im kind of beat. Put in a full day today. Got lots done. Going for the same tomorrow. Going to be some long days if i want to meet the deadline..

Morning! Slept in. Doesent happen often, so i will take it. With the late start im not sure what my goal is today. Guess i will grab my wiring harness and get it in to place.

Ok, where you get them?

Im suspecting the agent is misleading..

2% in manitoba. That’s 14,000 on 700,000 home. I bought 20 years ago,50 acres,6 outbuildings,and. 1200 sq foot bungalow. basically a farmyard for cheap. Its more than doubled now. And im breaking off the farmland. Bank appraisal doesent change. Go figure.

Went out and set cab on frame. So i didnt leave it hanging overnight.

Got dash painted, hvac bolted in. Hung it from the rafters and pushed the chassis in. Feeling rough today, so things were going slow. Losing momentum or motivation, not sure

Morning! -1 and a high of 13 today. Hvac , column and pedals go back in today. Some seam seal inside as well. Hoping to set cab back on frame.

Red. Will be dry enough to start assembling tomorrow..

Especially when they miss a spot or heaven fobid they go against the grain…

Morning! My apologies for missing this morning’s weather report. Other stuff on my mind. I hate my crazy family. My sister is raising a stink over moms estate. Getting a lawyer involved. Thats cool, its going to cost her. And i wont be out a dime. We were waiving executor’s fees. Not now...

I wish my 76 Dart Sport was that nice. Everything in your photos has left the chat on mine…

First coat. Second one isnt much betterer. But its got two- ish coats, beats what was there. Inside of roof only needs one coat. Firewall concerns me, as i want it to look reasonably decent. I cant afford 3 days for 3 coats of paint.

No, paint is opaque

Started painting. Red krylon. First coat looks like crap.

Morning! Supposed to be clear and sunny today. Two days of rain,hope iit dries up. Went back to shop for a couple hours last evening, did a little more welding, ran out of gas. I needed about 10 more welds to call it done. The floor is floppy under the seat, so i bolted a 3/4” square tube to...
