Moving day is near I drove the truck out of the backyard and to the front of the house. It will be picked up in a few weeks and transported to my new home in Florida. It's nice to be retired and have time to devote to my truck. Its going to need all new tires, torque rods, cab, and just a...

Spent this morning making new gaskets for the float bowl. I have some on order, but I'm impatient. I was able to get the engine running after filling the float bowl with fresh gas.

the specs for the compressor are 210 CFM, 100 PSI. It's safe to say it would run a sand blaster. if i had a hoist to put the compressor on the ground to run while i sandblast the rest of the truck. I plan on getting it able to be driven and see if it can make the trip to Mo. Forget the bondo...
