Just a wonderin.... how far did you venture on your maiden voyage?
My truck is nearing a point where (if I get tires to replace the 50 year old ones on it now) I could might maybe take it for it's first spin. (Yeah, I did drive it from the barn to the front of the house, but I'm talking on the road? Around the block for me would be about 5 miles?
What is likely to FALL OFF?
With my 49 F-5, after new brakes, lines, tires, tuning the engine, and checking it over from the front bumper to the rear, I took it for a 12 mile run, never missed a beat.
First shakedown (around the block) then after that i put 45 miles on it in one day. Had some oil and water leaks to fix and drove 'er some more on and off. After going to a show today and then to the boy's ballgame, I'm at 170 miles now.
