Veterans Parade today in Grand Junction. We had the pleasure of transporting the Rodeo Royalty girls from Mesa County. Rodeo Queen and Rodeo Princess (on right) and 2 Attendants (on left). They have to be 4H, have 4.0 grade point averages, do community service plus they're horse competitor champions, and a ton more stuff. I never realized how much is involved with that.
Flag setup turned out nice. I saw a big M923 and a M715 also in the parade.
Lots of cheers and happy faces today.

Another wood load. I chained the spare to the bed frame to make room. That thing still needs a home.

My "still new to me" M1087 has such a long list of items.... Just finished cab air bag replacements and rebuilding the supply valve. The old ones were totally blown up with rust. Rusted right through the air supply pipe to them, too!
Previous owner bent the hell out of the tail light holders I assume backing into objects. Besides the "bigger hammer method" anybody got any tips or tricks on getting them somewhat straight?
I gotta do hubs and seals and get the driveshafts straight and the floor is rusted so I gotta stop that in it's tracks...... Yeah I'll be here awhile.

Secure a chain to the tail light holder and around the biggest tree you can find, and give it a few nudges of the gas pedal?!

Haha yeah I can do that old school. I have a wrecker. If needed a torch, anvil and big fat whammer work as well.
But what have I done WITH my truck lately? Got through the CA DMV, then the CHP, then the DMV again. No small feat in this state! Now waiting for the title then I'm going to get Historical plates for that sucker. $120/year is much better than the weight fees they charge here for sure.
