Maybe I need to add some more seat cushioning to the old seats or get a new diet. I do love the bench seat though, I could never see myself replacing it.

Night and day difference. If you can believe it I'm not afraid of hills anymore.

My wife had a branding shoot in the mountains, so we figured, why not make a road trip out of it? We drove roughly 380 miles over the weekend without missing a beat. My only complaint is that the bench seat starts to get a little uncomfortable after 3+ hours behind the wheel.

It is amazing what some people call a restoration. Looks like you are well on your way to sorting this rig out. Seems like you have a good starting point to take this truck to the next level.

Had a great day hiking yesterday with the wife. We drove 200 miles with no major issues. This was the longest drive I've done since putting the head back on. Ive been driving to work regularly and around town but haven't done a long day trip yet. I checked fluid levels between hikes and fueling...

At the annual neighborhood block party this year we decided to add some classic cars to the mix. The 40 seemed to fit in well.

Got the new oil lines on. Let her idle for 15 minutes then adjusted the valves once it warmed up. No leaks and fires right up. I still need to replace the leaking wheel cylindar and adjust the carb. My son was so excited to hear the 40 run it got him into the camping spirit. We cooked dinner...

I got the oil lines off. Hopefully i can get new ones made this week.

I got the timing set today and put in some fresh gas. the old 40 fired right up, I was kind of surprised after sitting for awhile. I let it idle for a couple minutes and noticed my plastic fan is too close to the shroud and one of my oil lines from the oil filter is leaking. What is the...

Yes, the rear passenger side wheel cylinder is leaking. Ive added that to my do to list.
