Yours has dual valve springs right? Did you remove one spring for the break in? This used to be the standard procedure back in the day.

Messing around making heat shields and brackets for the p/s lines and fixing really annoying 'minor' leaks.
Got the front end metal on.
Not long now.

Sounds like wind noise in a microphone. Truck looks and sounds great! Nice to see one rolling under its own power. Mine is still a ways away...

My son is hoping to get into Arizona state in a couple of years so the plan is for this to be his daily.
I might have to drive it for a while just to make sure it's safe.
