My wife went to a farmers' market today with the little guy so I had the shop to myself. I was able to work on the truck steady for a bit. I got the fuel line plumbed in, vacuum line plumbed in, and the air cleaner bolted down. It was a pretty good day once I found my tubing bender and flare set. I moved it months ago while cleaning shop and couldn't find it!
Tomorrow I will hook up the carb and linkages permanently, hopefully, and then begin to lay out the wiring harness.
On Friday, we went to the city but my chrome hadn't been shipped up from Calgary. The chrome shop usually waits for a pile to accumulate before the make a delivery run to Edmonton. Good thing I'm not in a hurry for it. 😜
I also still have to get my heater core repaired or simply not run the heater ever. But I do think I'd like to drive it in fall when it can be quite cool.
