Interestingly my wife has expressed concerns about how much we are spending "that old truck." To think she learned how to drive in the truck. But she is secretively supportive.
This weeks photo. Still waiting on two trim pieces, a heater cable, a radio speaker and new wheels. Apparently the Covid situation is impacting the shipment of parts.
I have 4 "innie" stock rims that are true but need refinishing and a complete Magic Air heater system that I removed from my '62 if your parts don't show up. Your truck is looking great.
Frustration! I was supposed to pick up the truck today. The shop called yesterday to tell me when they started it up on Tuesday they discovered a pinhole leak in the radiator. Sigh.
Rebuilt radiator in place in less than 24 hours. The shop owner took it for a shakedown drive and everything was good. Just as he pulled into the parking lot the engine died. No fuel. I arrived about this time to pick up the truck, just as the hail storm started. We got it pushed inside with no damage. The shop determined the fuel pump was bad. Due to the weather I agreed to try again to pick it up in the morning. I am waiting for a call to confirm they got it running. Sigh!
Old trucks are like that. A word of caution before the pump is changed. Sometimes the dip tube in the tank will rot and fall off. or a hole will rust in it and not pickup fuel. The tank may show half full but is below where the hole or break is.
The shop just called. The line from the tank was plugged. They blew that out, installed an inline fuel filter and replaced the pump. The truck is now running okay. I will pick it up in the morning.

I'm sure that I'm not the only one waiting on pictures of the finished product,
Home at last! In between the rain and hail storms I got the truck home and immediately into the garage. Hopefully tomorrow will be nicer and I can take some better pictures.
