Dave, you have to give her some time off to make me some more cookies like the ones she made for Truckstock. Is it September 2014 yet?

The plan seems to be, putting it back together as a stock driver , Rust will be repaired , Motor will stay , New gaskets ,water pump, freeze plugs , oil pump, and paint. cab will stay stock , seat is in great shape , get rid of the two radios , New rubber floor mat , head liner , glass , and paint. Maybe disk front brakes with power boaster . Dual pipes with smittys mufflers . Better wheels . receiver hitch . Rear gear change from 4/56 to something like 3/73 . Soften up the springs , and new wire harness. I think you guys liked her cookies better than me .

When they stop by, have your wife hand them one of her wrenches

Dave you could help your wife out a bit if you put a oven and refrigerator in the shop along with the clothes washer and dryer. She wouldn't have to walk so far to get all of her work done. Plus when you get thirsty you'd have a frig full of colds ones she get for you.
