Yay!!! : )
Now all ya need is a 40 !
By gawd you guys are demanding.
The HG repair has been a challenge/fiasco just keeping the 80 Cool
The Head gasket has been changed already, mostly a full regasket to the engine.
ALso a new radiator and hoses.
had to changed an injector
replace wires, distributor cap,rotor fuel filter.
I have not had a chance to change much on the differentials, which I have been maintaining since I bought the trucks.
At this point the repairs funds are going low!
I still have pending brakes and need to put some grease on Birfs!
getting close!

Brakes, brakes, brakes.....without good ones or manual gears for compression braking you will die in Moab.

Diffs. are ok! ...but wanted to do some maintenance on my Birfs. mostly grease'em up.
Brakes: They work fine but the light is coming on.
I changed the master cylinder a earlier this year and the brake ligths are on.
I can't do much until they put back the engine together, since right now it's all apart.
I received the fuel injector, but somehow I got the wrong one, will solve that today!
in the spare parts, I don't have much, OK, None!
but my 285's are small and I don't think I will put too much stress on them! (lockers on... Daryl)
Good reminder on the Air tank
I got an air Tank ,but good point, Prolly will run out of air.
I will fix my cheap ass fix a flat air generator deally(compressor) and buy an alternate air thank to fill up and carry, now the challeng is to make it fit in the truck!
Charles you got a quite a list! ....there's still time!
I left in the morning red mad
w/ out my good bye kiss from my wife!She thinks that we should be going to Orlando to see Mickey! (that Mouse can kiss my Mexican ass!)
what you al' think?

Tell you wife you can go to Disney World any time, but you can't go to Moab with a great bunch of gals and guys from the Cottonland club any time. Not a fair comparison imho.
I thought Mexicans looked up to a different mouse, Speedy Gonzalez.

Maybe we will finally get to meet his better half!!
So glad to hear Den Mom Debs 80 is back on the roster! Woody in Moab?! Sweet!
Picked the GunRunner up from Myron today after a "top half" carb rebuild. I lost count of all the issues it had and Myron was surprised it ran at all. On the way home I discovered the hard way that the gas tank sending unit was stuck reading 1/2 a tank. Myron bailed me out again and after a complete fill-up the gauge unstuck and is reading full. It ran pretty darn good. May need to adjust the timing a little, but it should run MUCH better. Ethanol laced gas and sitting for too long without any stabilizer are doing a number on my old 40.
I've got lots to check off the to-do list this weekend to be ready to go Friday.
7 DAYS!!!!!!
