Joe - sounds like your truck is being a pill for you. Sorry that your having mechanical problems. That's never fun or easy on the pocketbook. Hope you get it fixed soon!


If I remember to take pictures, I'll be sure to post them in an album.

Morning all! And Happy Halloween. No drinking and driving tonight, too many kids on the road. Well, no drinking and driving ANY night, but especially not tonight. Too bad about your truck Joe, hopefully you can get it fixed soon.

I loved having two tanks on my '76 F-250, especially with the bad mpg it got.

That sucks about your truck Joe. It sucks having to gauge fuel tank fullness by miles traveled since fill up.

Maybe I missed a post but how's your bro doing?

Good Morning Nor Cal,

Off to the Machine Shop today to drop off the 49's front brake drums to be turned, and to check on the engine block's condition. Things are moving along...albeit slowly, but moving anyway.

Hope you day's a good one.
