Thumbs up More Work

done on the 78 today, finished the carpet ( put a piece on behind the seat) and a few other little things. Put in new window seals and felts on the doors and installed an old tach I had in the garage. I also adjusted the timing and a few things in the carb. It idles like new now, and we're taking it out for a road test latter tonight.

Yep, the whole family went out for a little cruise around Rouleau, the truck ran great and it is now nice and quite in the cab even with the wind blowing. I also noticed that the truck is reving right around 1900rpms at 100km/hr so it should be decent for fuel mileage.
