That is extremely long on the truck, but sounds like things will start to happen now, to bad it has to be that hard.

I went over to Sears and picked up my Craftsman Double Flare Kit for when I replace my entire fuel (hard) lines.

Maybe some of you can do some video's on the metal work you do on your trucks, so the rest of us novices might learn something... Nice work......

Took the ol truck and my little girl out this morning for breakfast. It is her 11th birthday and we have a tradition of going out for breakfast just the two of us. She still giggles when I punch the gas and the truck takes off. Good memories. Merry Christmas.

Came on the truck. No telling where it came from. The engine has been in since the 80's.
