Whew. Almost lost her today….
The front flexible brake lines were a little long and have a bow in them. With the new larger tires, it rubbed. Zip ties held it away from the tire, but zip ties failed over time due to vibration/loosenig . This allowed the brake line to rub the tire. Today...
All is well.
Glad to know all are doing well and the truck is not forgotten. The 45 remains in good company. Today it watches over maintance on my wife’s 200 with its brothers. All of them are driven weekly for and remain in good working condition.
Cheers!!
Yes. Nothing to brag about in that crew. I’m the ownership rookie by decades 🤣
But I did learn and test the ‘hand throttle cruise control’ from Rob. Simple but effective. My leg muscles are appreciative.
In and out of the Lone Star Land Cruiser 2022 Roundup this weekend. It’s a 130 mile round trip from my house.
Took the rig up to be properly evaluated by the 45 welcoming committee.
@landcrusher909 and @wngrog giving the approval.
You know you are driving a 56yo truck when the full moon is...
It’s a fun one for sure.
I’m honored to be the current caretaker!
I put a new speedo cable today. Old one broke last month. I want to get credit for every mile it drives.
its strange. He imprinted to that truck like nothing i've ever seen. When i touch the keys he darts for the door. He doesn't do that for any other vehicle
The oh so simple yet satisfying illuminated F.D light
From the F.D pull knob, through the vac switching box, intact vac lines and finally moving the ball bearing to close the switch. It’s a comforting visual confirmation that the fork moved and even the light bulb is working. 55 years later...
