I have logged 22 miles! I got insurance and registration today and then a pile of thumbs up and waves. The kids at school loved it and my niece begged to pull out of the school on the second last day with me. I happily obliged. I’m taking it to school tomorrow and the next as well. It’s fun to drive.

I watched my odometer and noticed that it read true to a mile. Very strange/fortunate that it did so. I suspect the sm420 I got from a later donor truck may have been geared for a 4.10. The speed felt very accurate as well. The truck drove very straight and was quieter than I expected. I loved popping up the cowl vent for some air flow.

I also took my friend for a ride who helped a lot with allowing me to use his paint and blasting booth.

Today was awesome!!!
