Have the wife do field trip day and take the kiddos to a alignment shop

67chevy1series · 09-19-2011, 12:35 AM

Hubscrub · 09-22-2011, 10:00 PM

67chevy1series · 09-22-2011, 10:55 PM

Hubscrub · 09-26-2011, 09:50 PM

Got good news and stupid news.

Good news is its drivable now with a alignment and new tires, i drove it to the shop today (i took a day off today to rest from our weekend trip) and the tires were literally squealing down the road

Stupid news i didn't double check the center link the po had it back wards (this has bit me once on my truck so you would think i would notice)

i'm pretty down about it.
so i have to fix it and get the alignment rechecked sometime. But i can drive it drives good notice it most at high speeds. @ Oldblue1968chevy i do plan to have it in lynchburg this weekend.

oldblue1968chevy · 09-26-2011, 11:11 PM

both trucks or just hers?

good luck i had my center bar thingy on backwards when I did my disc brakes, but realzied it before alignment

1972hays · 09-27-2011, 01:52 AM

The wife drove it to Lynchburg to the whiskey runners cruise in today for it's first cruise. She was leadin a 5 old car/truck cruise up the highway and didn't even know it.

She was tickled to just drive it.

oldblue1968chevy · 10-01-2011, 11:58 PM

SO what else is in the plans besides swapping the center link bar around

What else gonna be green?

Ps,Ill see about gettnig your flashing light this week sometime I bet he has a half dozen of what your looking for. Tons of old spotlights horns sirens you name it!

Hubscrub · 10-09-2011, 10:18 AM

gas gauge stopped working last nite checked and fixed wire on sending unit but still no worky, shook the truck and heard something moving around (metal). Looked in with a flashlight in the sender hole and seen the float just bobbing around on top

I'm going to take the unit out after church this afternoon to see whats up.

Hubscrub · 10-09-2011, 04:53 PM

took the sending unit out float arm missing had to fish out the arm and float ugh. It's junk so i'm just going to buy a new one and forget it! I installed the steering wheel alittle crooked so i fixed that too. Made a metal vac. line for the vac. advance.

Hubscrub · 10-10-2011, 08:10 PM

I switched it and didn't see a difference i will try again there is still some adjusting to do to get all the bugs out

may try it on one that runs good already.

Hubscrub · 10-10-2011, 08:17 PM
