Thanks. Yeah, the crappy primer job that was on it when I got it is flaking off.

I also finally added the optional rear view mirror the other day, which is certainly nice to have while driving in traffic. I made sure to have it nicely centered in the cab before I attached it and realized the dash and inside of the cab itself is apparently not centered.

I am now driving around two and a half to three hours a day (about 110 miles). Averaging 16MPG keeping the speed to 60-65MPH.

I'm hoping to get the '76 front end under there sometime early this week...
