Re: Bubba's recycling project

After approx 100 miles test drive , the brakes have passed the test . No leaks!!!!! They are quite easy to push and stops things right now on a dime.
A little nose diving in the front with a hard panic stop but no lockup or skidding of the tires. We decided that it will stay as is for a while.

Daughter's senior pictures are happening this weekend and the truck just HAS to be in them.

Craig, I never knew that you had a eye for hogs . You win a cold beverage for knowing that was a gilt in the picture!!
Youngest daughter is shown with a "Bluebutt" a Yorkshire X Hampshire crossbreed.
She also raised pure Hampshires and Hampshire X Duroc crossbreeds
She had several return buyers this fall and had to buy more piglets earlier this spring to have enough for her customers orders!
Quite a profitable summer business she has going on.


The prop valve is from the 71-72 that donated the front cross member. I kinda liked it since it has a separate discharge line to each front caliper and a single line to the rear drums.
