Running out of time...

Post by Jerry D »

Well, back in the old days, when there was a lot of traffic on the site, there was always a thread about what everyone was in the middle of trying to finish before SlickStock. Well, anyone???

I still haven't installed the dash pad I bought at LMC when we went to their store in KC. My wife is pushing me to get that done before we go, but honestly, I'm actually leaning towards removing my old one and having it recovered. I bought the aftermarket one because it was cheaper and looked good, but it doesn't look too original.

Also, have to give the truck a good service. Oil change, grease, check the trans and rear end, that kind of stuff.

And, just have to throw this out there, but NO CLOCK!!! It needs to be up there ticking away, applying the pressure.

Anyone else with things to get done?

Working on changing intake manifold gasket. Pick up rebuilt carburetor this morning. Just finished removing, cleaning and re-installing gas tank. Still to do-finish intake, change oil, grease and oil everything, adjust front brakes, and buy new tires.

Looks like my intake manifold is warped. Second gasket change out and smoking due to I believe warped intake manifold letting oil suck into combustion chamber. It was fine before I changed the intake gasket the first time. So the choice is head to Salina with a large quantity of oil or abort taking my truck.
