Great update, Larry. If yer not careful, you'll have me buyin a welder reeel quick.

Billy-Bob seems to be comin along very nicely. It's a vast improvement over the mess you started with around the windshield. Ya done good.

I'm waitin for the sun to move a bit so I can finish tightening up the spring clamps on my 64 Ratt Truk's rear springs. (It's hot out in the deseret sun. [That's a pun, for those familiar with Utah culture...and that's a pun, too.]) It's been a 2-day ordeal for something that should have taken a couple of hours at most. I've had to fabricate just about every part, cuz the clamps seem to be built for rice-mobile springs that are better suited for ball-point pens than trucks.

If I can get the clamps finished up in a reasonable time, I'll turn the truck around and start removing the manifolds in preparation for the installation of some go-fast parts. (I spose that could be considered an oxymoron....go-fast on a 292 C10.)

Anyway, I really enjoyed the writeup and I look forward to the next installment. Keep up the good work.
