I'll let you know it takes 48 hours for it to be usable according to the directions. And by that time I will not remember that I bought it.

Wow...that's going to be quite the adventure. No real plans today Fred except try and keep cool...going to be another scorcher today. I put a new light in the crawl space under the stairs yesterday and hung some racks on the wall downstairs for picture frames etc. Don't think the car show will happen tonight due to threatening storms. Sure is getting dark early. Have a great day and a safe drive there and back.
 
Hope the weather doesn't get to bad there tonight.
I'm going to the drag race in Minot this weekend with my kids, it's a 1/8th mile track so I should't get into to much trouble.
Next week will have to do my fall cleaning around here.
 
Fall cleaning has not started here yet, chances on showers here today at noon, 50 person. Enjoyed some shop time will my girl Victoria. Today I will be out there again, gets loud out there under that metal roof when it rains hard. Digging the bucket seats, now if I can just stay out of the beer I might spay some color soon under the hood, have a great day men, enjoy the ride in the truck Fred

Nice seats Mike she is looking good. I think a beer might help with the painting as long as you only have one. And thanks I will have a good time glad the old girl has over drive I might get up to 30 mph.

Just got back home that was fun. She ran just fine but the radiator cap leeks and would throw water all over the windshield when I let off the gas peddle. I stopped a few times to check everything over and was so glad that nothing fell off.
I have no idea how are grand parents survived driving a 1.5 ton truck long distance.
I was going to get some eggs at the store while I was in town but I think they would have been scrambled by the time I got home.

Not me but the truck, and every place I stopped I had a few people looking at it and they all wanted to know it's history, It was fun. I tell ya FOG I learned real fast not to hit a bump to fast or you end up hitting the roof.
I'm cleaning the garage after all the work on the truck. You think I would put things away after I use them but I don't and now I have a mess.

That is the answer. Back then people did not drive far from home. People didnt actually travel until interstates were built. Back when that truck was built they did not even have gravel roads just plain dirt that was 2 track full of ruts and slop when it rained.
