Guys, three years and three months ago we bought our truck in pretty rough condition. Today, Dec. 26th 2014, we drove it for the first time. Check out this youtube video...

So very cool, Your Son is going to be one popular guy in High School that's for sure. I have always loved your build, because it was a father and son project which made it extra special to me. Congrats on your first drive.

The fuel problem was that the fuel wasn't burning cuz the distributor wasn't sending spark at the right time...i.e. we didn't have a fuel problem, we had a timing problem
Ha ha! Running nice now!!

Thanks guys!!! It's been a sweet afternoon!! My son and I have been taking the girls and the grandparents for rides around the neighborhood. Man, it's been so cool. Of course there are problems. Leaking power steering fluid like mad. Not sure where from yet, but as my mom (the consummate supervisor) suggested, maybe it's from the power steering system. T

Outstanding. This is the beginning of the payback for all the efforts. Enjoy. And give the boy some slack. If you've done the job with him that you hoped, he'll make good decisions.

Hey Tyler,
Your son is the most careful driver on the planet in that video!
He knows how much work went into it! It looks & sounds great - our's isn't nearly that quiet - I'll have to investigate.
Looking great in Tucson!!!!!
