Has still only had an oil change and 31’s... need to get the temp gauge working. It randomly dies sometimes while slowing down (carb issue? Has old Weber electric choke carb). Blew the PCV out on the highway and sprayed oil all over the inside of the hood. The wipers randomly stopped working...

I’ll have to check that out for the interior! And the truck is actually 100% rust free! Someone just cut a large rectangle out of the fiberglass floor of the Trekker portion...
