Default Excellent work.

Jordan,

That truck looks great - you did a great job!

I better get up to see it live.


Stewart

PS - that is a nice looking canvas top!

Thanks Stewart.

Yes that lady did a fantastic job on those covers you had made years ago.

And then this happened a few days ago. Another milestone hit for this truck.

Default No excuses?

Congratulations - that is the final hurdle.

Now you can parade to your hearts content!

Well done.

Took the truck out for its first good road drive. It handles great with no wobbles and stops fantastically. I did have two issues with it. Number one was my speedometer went haywire and started spinning all over the place. I’m not sure if the cable was binding up in the outer casing or if the speedometer itself has issues. The second issue I had was the temperature gauge going up over 220 degrees. The radiator is a new core and the engine block was totally flushed out. I’m thinking I’ll check for any restrictions near the thermostat. When I stopped off at a friends farm I left the engine idling. When I left about 6min later the temp was down to 170. By the time I got home it was up around 210 or so.
