Re: "Abigail Amelia."

So I have a To Do list like all the trucks on this site.

1) A previous owner cut the exhaust pipes short, but left the brackets, so we'll return that to normal. What do you think his plan was?

2) The engine has a quick ticking sound (like a traditional kitchen timer). Small exhaust leak?

3) The receiver for the tow hitch needs to be reworked, especially since Abigail will likely be towing a trailer of vehicles or stuff over the Grapevine to north-western Oregon.

4) The emergency brake immediately disengages. Cable?

5) Replace gauges for peace of mind? How do you know if your old truck's gauges are telling you the truth about engine temperature, etc? (I haven't checked yet; maybe all of these gauges are new.)

6) Replace gas tanks and/or fuel sensor. We haven't checked out the age/condition of the tanks to see if they've already been replaced. But there's no way 6 gallons of fuel truly moves the needle from "Empty" to over half a tank (except in my Kia Soul).
