Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

So I'm calling this weekend MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Got the rest of that wood split and put up. Did a little more welding on that splitter, pressure washed and returned to the lender. Thanks Sid!!!

Got the $hit-hole cleaned up and sorta organized. Sanded out them vent window frames and re-sprayed with a little reducer. Still not glass but I think it'll be good. I'm learning.... Should be a good week for the truck coming up.

Also hauled the Crummy in for an ignition tune / re-curve. When we built the motor the dizzy was a pile. I bought a "new" HEI from the local speed shop for like $80. That got it going but its already clapped. The mechanical advance is POS and gets stuck. When it breaks free it'll still only advance like 10 or 12 degrees. Gonna have to buck-up for a nice unit. I've got initial whacked up as high as I can so it'll still crank worth a crap and half-a$$ idle. I'll tell ya tho, them test drives down the dirt road are fun!!! Little clutchin in third to get them secondaries burning and wheeeeeeeee!!!! Shoulda takin pics of the marks. That locking diff is tight and the BFGs are diggers! Had to shut her down before the neigbors called the fuzz.
