I ironed "most" of the bugs out the truck and was able to put about 30 miles on Ol' Clyde last Thursday driving it to work and run some errands.

Thanks again to the great people that make up this site. I used the tech tip for adding a filter inside the gas tank outlet to keep some of the grime out of the petcock valve until I have the tank cleaned. Nothing serious, just some mouse "left-overs" and 1 moth - I have removed the moth. Instead of using the sink strainer as listed in the Tech Tip, I used the lint trap for a washing machine outlet. Cut in half and rolled - it worked perfectly.

Over the weekend, used Clyde to run grass clippings to the city compost drop and went to the hardware store (where I met a young lady that drives a '59 3100 as a daily driver).

Yesterday we got the headlights and fog lights working again.

Nothing like spending the weekend cruising around in a 78 year old truck.

My Grandfather bought it new and Dad drove it through highschool. The 3rd & 4th generations put it back on the road on 8/8/2015!
