So....
Friday night.
Been a busy week.
Worked with the new boss on Monday, the rest of the week was busy, read busy.
Today I was booked into an all day Skype training course on Cancer and Cancer Associated Thrombosis, or CAT in short.
Since temperatures dropped, it seems I have a CAT in bed nightly.
I have realised I need a “Cowl Hood” to replace the one the truck came with.
And looking around FB marketplace for a hood/bonnet, I happened on a radiator shroud.
Messaged the seller over in Essex 50 miles from where I live, while on my Skype training, agreed to a price, based on Autojumble prices of £10.00 or $13.00 which if you realistically added the Darford Crossing Toll fee and cost of using my company car at 11p/mile worked out to around £25.00 or $35.00 for the fan shroud......
I could not get one from the USA for that money.
So after training, I drove over to Sean’s place, Met his dad and cats, and spent an hour talking cars, trucks and Triumph bikes.....
The shroud came from this 1908 GMC Truck, currently diesel, and actually sold tonight.
Sean also has an Advanced Design Chevy truck, getting a monster diesel.
The guys like their diesels.
While in their shop, his dad showed me the hood to his truck.
Love the pinstriping. @mrtiki should approve
Now this is another Item I would absolutely love to have for myself.
Back home by after 4pm, I just unpacked and then fed the cat........
Took pics of my bit of joy, front and rear.
Will see if it fits tomorrow
Lastly, I found this on the floor under the truck.
Wonder where it came from.
Tomorrow it’s back under the front end.
Wish me luck.
