Little burnout I did leaving my shop just to say FU to the bosses. And swapped the front brakes for some bigger ones. Stops great now

Looks real good,
I am going to get a new carb for the 79 next month and get that thing running again. Going to pull and clean the fuel tank too.

Going to install a rear glass slider assembly on the daughters truck next week. The old one is broken and the old owner give her a new one when she bought it.

Appointments all day at Ft Benning and sleep study tonight, joy

I did not hardly sleep at all during the sleep test, I had more wires and junk hanging and taped to me than the 6 million dollar man.

I am going to try and change out the seats in the daughters truck with the ones in my neighbor's parts truck since his are in much better condition. I need to clean up and figure out how the back slider glass assembly installs too. I think it is just glued in. The one in the truck now is messed up.
