Well I gotta say what a way to be awakened, watch it she might be wanting something expensive?
I did not get to work on the trailer much, but bought 2 new (used/pawn) guns. A Marlin Camp 9, 9 mm with a scope and a High-Tech 9mm Rifle (junker to keep under the seat).
And got the new valve covers (didn't come with any when I bought it) for penny's 460 rig motor.

Is it constent smoke? Might be blow by on a piston? Same issue on my 79 Flat bed???Still haven't took the time to tear into it, gotta get the title issue worked out.
As far as the 460 motor I just got for Penny's rig, it has already been rebuilt, just needs a fresh coat of FORD blue and the carb put on.
And the tranny hooked up, but have to change the tail shaft to it will bolt to the xfer case, then hang it in the frame.
And yes I will post a build thread with pics for everyone. Just have to figure if I am going to swap those D60 axles over to my Red truck?
The other set I got need a bit of brake work ect???? They are still setting under the rest of the truck along with a 460 also.
