I've been tinkering with the step side today. I've got a few things done to it. Adjusted the driver's door latch, oiled the hood latch and hinges. Just some piddly stuff. Someone is supposed to be here in a few minutes to look at it. Maybe they'll buy it?

 

Maybe I need you to do a good turn up on ol #88 and try to sale it down there, sounds like you have the touch.

Matbe we will talk about it when I get home?

 

Ok. I can do that. The guy that came by wants to think about it. I have another guy coming tonight or tomorrow to look at it.

 

It has been awhile that I have been on here haven't been to eny get togethers.Hopfully when I get the 75 back out on the road I will make to some would like to meet more of you all.
This is a vidio of the start up of the perkins with a fresh rebuild.Only has a couple minutes on her.not very good shot of the dash to dark will take another of the truck with the hood going up and down when I get the truck out of the garage and in the sunlight.

Pretty slick. Did I notice the shifter appears to be out of a late model gm truck?

 

Welcome around the Mo chapter, VERY interesting truck.....and very nice.

 

Whoa, very nice! I need something like that for a tow rig.

We went and got some more camping gear today and checked out the cruise in at Cruisin' USA. There were some really cool cars (and trucks) there. No dents, but I saw a super nice '59 Ford pick up.

 

The shifter is out of a 2006 chevy duramax I have the 6sp allison out of a 06 Tap shift and towhaul.
