ETTT is a "working gal" //again

After being down Ethyl THE TOOL TRUCK is traveling the Streets of San Diego County again....so she is a working truck again now....not a sitting truck waiting for me to figure out how to fix her....WOW that last Back to Back to Back to Back larger repair period was brutal...my learning curve is SLOW.

Ethyl *THE* Tool Truck (ETTT)....and Me.

Big mess...me at the sales desk...

Another view...I love my Eagle...

Head leak is still there very slow drip right now from the rear left head freeze plug. I will have to get the engine to cycle for heat a few days to see if it will stop. Rear brakes "JUST" needed all the componets like the OBSOLETE return springs, in addition to custom made thicker shoes,new wheel cylinders. Im in the process of getting a list together of those.who also want new drums so DuraBrake in Santa Clara will make their minimum of 8 run..ETTT is running the best ive experienced right now.

Love ETTT and your determination to keep the ole Gal working! Glad to hear it’s only a plug and not something wrong with the head.

Mike Shuey a hollow log for the fire would be be great. Nick it is fun to take these old trucks to the store to pick up supplies as people flock to them and get a kick out them still working.
