Reached top speed!
I installed a new brake light switch from @cityracer. It was a ‘Nakamoto’. As I put the dash panel back in thought to myself, ‘will this one last 56 years’
Replaced the rear light gaskets. The old ones were so dry rotted they crumbled off. Also aligned it with the help of a friend. It now drives strait with some wonder. And drove it around town today. Much better ride.
Tossed the 2f in
My OCD is twitching badly
Well I could, but the salt up here would quickly make the truck disappear. Most of us in the Northeast put them away for the winter and wait till a couple of heavy rains to wash the salt off the roads before bringing them out of hibernation.
That is exactly why I’ve not run mine. I also live on a dirt road full of ruts and water holes since the snows we have had. The last of the 26” from last week is a few 5’ high piles from the bucket loader. The rest is mud…
I can’t believe that exactly 7 years ago today, I woke up at 4 a.m. and drove five hours to Maryland for this…
Finally install windshield washer today

Need to meet up soon, finishing up on the white 40 and I have a new parts donor truck that may be my next project.
Definitely! A new season is coming… winter is over, I hope.
Doing weird things. Built a box so I could use carb dip to clean out the inner parts of the engine side panel. Disassembling and cleaning small parts so I can paint and/or plate them.
Weird is that guy in the hocky mask over by the power pole - Jason is that you?
Creepy and then some.................
It’s been cold and more snow than is typical… they had forecast 70’s today and it’s muddy enough. Went into the foam insulated pole barn, opened the garage doors and it was like walking into the dairy section at Costco…the one with the vinyl curtains to keep the refrigeration in…had to be nearly 25* difference…,within 3 minutes the condensation was remarkable. Windows on each vehicle were totally fogged, paint was fogged, tool boxes and almost everything I touched. Even a mailing label I had printed a few days ago was wilted
Thank goodness this only happens twice a year

Consolidated the parts into the '73 FST project, covered it back up with the tarp. This accomplishes two things, the parts are no longer scattered across three places and I feel like I made some progress (ha!).
Feeling like you made progress, is still moving the project forward to the next milestone.
Well after a long winter of doing body work on both side doors and the 2 top side panels. I finally primed and painted them today. Glad I don't do this type of work for a living, I lost count of how many hours I have on these. Tomorrow I will flip the side panels over and do the other sides. But first a morning ride in South Jersey as the weather will be above 60 and I am still running topless : )
Not Weld bond, JB Weld.
