Spent Saturday morning wrap up a few small details on door so it would be ready for paint. Then prepared my bumper for install of tow bar to go pickup one of the two trucks that i purchased in a two truck deal. Gathered all the tools I need to take with me and off I went. All was good picking up truck, had to remove existing bumper, install my other bumper that I mounted the tow bar mounts onto and drop the short drive shaft that goes from carrier to axle.

- extra tailgate handle and hardware
- all the boxes and paper work for new items installed on 327 motor of truck #2 (snowflake intake manifold, MT valve covers, MSD ignition, MSD coil, MSD distributor, Edelbrock carb, Mr. Gasket shifter, etc...)
