Feels good to get something done in the cab. That and be off the parking brakes. Still have to adjust them. The service manual says one click and there should be a drag, what the heck? Think that means I'm pulling the tires again, that's pretty close though I suppose shoes wear out anyway

I was going to save the handle and pad for "fun day", but I like throwing out boxes too well.

The manual I'm writing is half the battle. It's come in real handy, but I wrote this mess 4 years ago when I didn't know anything, and this end gives new perspective anyway. Edit, edit, edit & simplify. Did that BS for a living a long time, but this beats any business or system process short NASA

Finishing the truck will be a blessing, but the manual is a hassle

though it will be good to finish that too.

The transmission line clip off the oil pan is one of my favorite parts

ecstatic to see new transmission lines slip in there with ease. I put that into a box near 30 years ago, discovered it when I started this, didn't know what it was.
