Yes, we did have a good time.
I must say it's nice to be driving an old truck again!
Thanks to Tim, Cosmo, and Phil for coming by, lending a hand, and otherwise making for a great Saturday.
First thing Tim and I made up and replaced the rear brake line, no troubles with that. Cosmo and I bled the system. Then Phil arrived earlier than expected and helped diagnose and improve on the carburetor troubles. I was thinking an intake gasket leak based on the sellers evaluation but we pretty much ruled that out. Seems the carb has seen better days and I'll fit a replacement soon.
We wrapped up with a cozy tour to the DB.
Today I'll adjust some brakes as several were dragging, and investigate a funny parking brake cable.
Doesn't seem like it'll take much to get it reliable and ready for longer trips.
