Don't tell your Wife, but screw the house.
She and my daughter are going on a Smithsonian trip, arranged by my daughter's school, for the week and my son is going to camp for the same week.
Thought an ideal time to paint the interior of the house, pour sidewalks around, grade the back yard that looks like the lunar surface, thanks to gophers and moles, redo the flower beds and sod.
Thought I could get a lot off the to do list, but was just informed I'll have construction office duties, all week, too.
Pig's at the office/shop.
My brother in law is a painter.
Concrete crew isn't doing much next week.
It rained so much I don't think the homeowners association is going to sit by while I bring three loaded bobtails across their grass.
It rained so much that I can't even get dirt until Monday, more rain coming.
Can't plant shrubs in mud.
Soooooo.....
Pay brother in law to paint.
Pay concrete crew to pour sidewalks.
Scratch grading, sodding, planting.
Fulfill my duties to pigs off 'Merica and keep anymore chat threads titled in my name from being authored.
All while balancing four construction rojects that are underway, the storage, and office duty that I can't stand.
If I have to spend much time there, beyond dismantling, my fire up the Miller and link the roller, for S&Gs.
Bahahaha.

Brake booster is trashed. Unless you're rebuilding, which logic may be questionable, not worth shipping, but your call.
Radiator held coolant. A questionable spot in the lower corner, but appears the repair is working.
Let me know if you want and message address, if so.
Thanks Chris, better have the Honey-Do's taken care of first.

My painter backed out last minute, flooding rain has kept the bobtail out of the grass, and I realize that I stay busier than I thought, regardless who's home or not.
Actually soaking the nuts in PB.
The dash has been exposed to the elements for an undetermined amount of years and, after fighting a few bolts that snapped in hinges and tailgate, gonna take a more sensible approach to those that are hard to reach.
Thank you for the heads up. I will pass on both as I already have a brake booster needing a rebuild and a radiator needing a recore.

BAHAHAHAHA.
The thought of wives across America, asking their husbands why they smell like Skippy when getting into bed was enough to spew my drink.
NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO PICS. Sorry I got you started.
I'll post 'em up if anyone changes their mind. Hahahaha.
Exactly on the fun part.
It took me a few reads to figure out that you'd caught my lack of the third "b". I knew I was set up for something!!
Bahahahahaha.
ALRIGHT LAST COMMENT. You POLY-ORCHID? YOU SAID 3 Bs. My father was. This is getting bad

tailgate. And WTF is Lambcrusher when you need him?
Thanks Bob.

@bobm
The tailgate off the '71 is going on the '72, since it's period correct and the one that was on the '72 went to @Midgainc
He may have extra, I don't know, but don't think the '72 gate (which was actually a later gate...more evidence to a rear end collision, not that I needed.) was better than what I sent him.
