[Michael B]

Roma and I adjusted the valves on my 12HT this afternoon. Ok he adjusted them I merely assured the good Dr!

Was driving back home, and every time I looked in the mirror there was this rusty old 40 series following me!

Jen, you know it's only an addiction if you admit it, right?

BTW, you see that I got something you ain't got?

 

[bikersmurf]

No addiction here... I've only got one. I can't help that it has been such a good reliable truck these last 26 years. It's now on its 3rd motor... its 2nd $300 SBC. It now only has 72k on the motor.... 225k miles on the firewall and doors

It's just not logical to sell it and spend $40k on a truck that'll only depreciate, cost a fortune to repair, and break down. In 26 years I've chosen not to drive it home twice. Both times I could have... and I've never towed it... and only had to change a flat tire once 25 years ago because it was old, cracked, and leaked.

Finished painting the hardtop sides. Finally reassembling the 40. I told my wife it is like trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. I think it is looking good. Love the black bezel with the dune beige.

For now......

Added a stereo ‘system’.

For its cost and what it is, I’m happy.

Fills the truck with sound, overcomes road noise and connects to any phone app (iheart radio, pandora, my phone music,etc).

Low profile and has a tacky coating on the bottom so it doesn’t slide.

hOOter

$149.00 at Costco. Very good sound and built solidly. Good value!

 

[Varty Yo]

Do you have a charging system hidden up behind it?

Plan is for charging usb cord goes to glove box light outlet.

But battery life is hours longer than I can use up so far

One more thing this week.....

Wife’s daily driver (for now)

ROFLMAO! I believe you just may add an iron pig sooner than later.

Ok, so I'm only cleaning the barn to move trucks around. This is what my chickens did with my 40. I currently use a marine battery box on the right rear fender.

So here's the 40 tech- no more 6.2 diesel. With the open engine bay I will patch up the. Crappy firewall notches I made long ago to stuff a SBC as far back as possible. Then I hope to find an LS engine to fab up mounts and drivetrain.

Forgot the pic

 

[TractorDoc]

Installed a Tiger Channel and Bikini Top. . . just in time for Winter!

 

[Michael B]

I corrected a minor oversight from assembly. Between my poor eyesight and bad memory I couldn't operate the heater dampener correctly!

There. That's better!!

Speaking of Costco...met up with a local customer in the parking lot.

That 200 is gorgeous. What color is that? If you could get the diesel version here I would be in for one of these.

 

[Aloha Jen]

Such a tease!

How dare you accuse me of such shenanigans....

Was trying very hard to wait and start a proper intro and build thread, but I just couldn't wait since parts and pieces from the purchase are still slowly filtering in. More to come!
