[99 to Life]

Aug 8th,

Well it has been a while since I posted. About two weeks ago I snagged this 52' with a 235 in it. Apparently it was running 10 years ago. It came with double parts out the wazzoouu. All I know as of now is I want to do a drop axle, disk brakes, a t-5, and a different rear end. I want to keep the manual steering for now. Definitely want to run this engine, so my first goal will be to fire it up. I probably won't get to this until Sept/Oct as I am doing tons of house and yard work. You can see in the BG I painted my garage and I pouring more cement for my driveway. I have another roof to put on the garage and a metal garage to put up still.

I drove the truck last Monday to Slippery Rock to see some family, its a 60 mile trip there. It was the first long drive since I had the vacuum issues. Which I am still having, but it is running really good, starts and stops really good now. I insulated my fuel line a little more and I have to insulate some plug wires. I get occasional run on still.

Other than that, my friend wanted to shoot some photos of my truck, so I'll post them soon. You can see the one with the trains in the BG, we got a lot of those kind of shots. stay tuned.
