That is my plan John ......but I do have a bit of extra pocket change all saved up for another ''once in a lifetime'' deal. 
The fender should be here next week along with the new door weather stripping. Any hints on how bad the new weather stripping will affect my doors closing at first. I hope that I don't need to readjust them. I almost ordered 3 factory floor mats for each of the 53`sw and 56 F350 but at about $170 a copy plus tax I decided to try to lay some carpet farmer style on the cab floor.

I carpeted my 78 for under $20 by shopping at giant tiger, the other 150 went to food.
Am taking the carb off the truck tomorrow to clean up my egr, pita job but that'll be part of my carb problem.

Thanks for the heads up about Giant Tiger Perry, probably cheaper than the local carpet store. First I`ll paint then undercoat the floor to keep moisture away from it, the carpet will trap plenty of it.

Good morning Morris, John, Perry, Grant, Shaun and anyone else ambling through here.
Supposed to be near 70°F here today. Looking ahead to my days north and they are now guessing snow, just cold and some rain..

Happy Sunday Mornin'all. Lazy day here today for us. Kalan suffered a concussion last Sunday, so all I quiet on the hockey front. He attends the games, and skated last night at practice. He should be good to go by Tuesday. Perry; I'd like to see how your shop is looking. Post pic's when you can. I love going on the Garage Journal. I'll spend hours looking at other people's work shops. Have a great day guy's.
