I'm hoping shirts featuring the official Truckstock artwork will be available to pre-order. I should have details on that in the next day or so!

Stop picking on me!! It was my wife's fault, she navigated, I drove. You try to drive a non-synchronized four speed with a flat six through a strange countryside without one level straight stretch of road longer than 100 feet!

I'm thinking I will catch up with him at Portillos in Crystal Lake . He can help load all the food ! He will be responsible to map his way to there. Then I'll take it from there, or will see......?????
If he what's we could get lunch there and he can get a sneak peek/taste of lunch on Saterday

I'm whussing out for Truckfest, it's only a measly 215 mile , 5-1/2 hour drive. But when you factor in stock F-2 suspension, double clutching and taking back roads it seems a bit longer. I love every minute of it.

I just have to say I love the Art Work. ( Nice 51 )

Wish I had a life and could go to the event.. but alas I've got a short chain or I will get lost in the neighborhood....

Safe travels to all who are attending and have a great weekend!

Once the carb was fixed truck shifted fine. Most people I just don't think would enjoy double clutching.

Double clutching is a developed skill that most of us who have learned it are proud of.
I have a clutch linkage from my '49 I will send to you if yours is frozen up or worn out. But, I would suspect you have a least a couple spares layin' around.

I don't have any problems shifting the truck. Last year I have some trouble because of the high idle which was fixed at Truckstock, thanks to Ross. On the way home it was like driving a new truck. I don't mind double clutching, it becomes natural and I do it without thinking. I do enjoy watching someone trying to do it for the first time.
