Yep.... much better........My LWB had a LOT of rust thru that needed attention. Brakes were a mess, wiring was a mess. The frame had HEAVY rust and I had gotten the front end of the frame cleaned and painted.
My engine has been overhauled and a lot of parts have been cleaned up and painted.
This "new" SWB has a good body (although different colors) and a really nice engine compartment. It came with power steering so that was another plus.
The worst part is somebody started a bubba AC install and stopped after screwing up the interior...... (thank the Lord he STOPPED).
ANYWAY.... this is a pretty good truck for a 42 year old Mississippi truck. It must have spent a lot of time under a shed.

Hey, people. Another week, another set of challenges.
May you have met them with strength & joy in your heart...
Well maybe you just got through it all. Whatever works.
Looks like mother nature is tuning up a 1-2 punch for the Gulf.
Peace Out everybody.

Pretty sure it's happened before, just can't say when.
These are the people who I follow besides NOAA:
https://www.sfwmd.gov/weather-radar/...ne-model-plots
They show all the models that NOAA cooks down.
Plus that little black triangle line shows current movement.

So Thomas came over to work on his 5.8 replacement engine that's on the stand in my shop.
After a few small jobs we played with some electric fans. I asked T to hold one while I cranked it up.
We both thought it didn't really need the retaining clip for a short test.
He didn't loose any fingers & the doctor thinks he won't loose the leg.
