Today the truck got a windshield. There was no windshield frame available so the glass is glued in.
When Zach was home for spring break we dug the truck out from its winter slumber. A few test drives came up with lots of thing to fix/change. Z-man went back to school and I've been picking away at it since then.[
1. Fixed the mufflers which were hitting the frame. Big banging noise!
2. Added 2 extra leaves to the front spring. It was bottoming out and had almost no suspension.
3. Moved the steeering box and lengthened the pitman arm to speed up the steering. Too many turns before.
4. Pulled the HEI and everything related to it and put in a points distributer. Trying the fix the ragged running condition. Improved some.
5. Pulled the free Holley spreadbore and stuck an Edelbrock carb on. Sounds much cleaner but haven't driven it yet.
6. Changed to a working alternator.
7. And the main thing...Got a title and plates!!![cl
It's almost ready for summer fun.[dr
