My truck does not want to go to truckstock . Yesterday I took it into town and on the way back I hit a good size bump , it bottomed out the front springs . The rear float on the Holy carb stuck and truck would only run with the gas pedal all the way down . I nursed it home , and took off carb and cleaned both float bowels . Then I noticed both Alt and ps belts had jumped off . This morning I put on 2 new belts , and took a test drive , as I rolled up my window it jumped out of the track , Alt charging at 13.5 volts so I turn on all lights AC , and wipers . Alt ok but wiper arm falls apart . As I head for home I try and blow the horn to a friend , Doesn't work . Last but not least the gas pedal sticks , new spring fixes that . Starting to think I should bring a car .

No, the car would not have enough room to bring cookies.

It's the curse of hosting Truckstock. Back in 2013, the rear bearing in my transmission took a dump about a week before you guys arrived. Hang in there, you'll make it!!!

What to bring

Dave, Eva keeps asking me what she needs to bring in the way of food, etc. I've been fairly distracted lately and I'm sure I may have missed a thread. Is there anything specific we need to bring?

No, just bring some tools Dave. You will have lots of "expert" help putting things back together if something goes wrong.
