Hello everyone;

I have not been working on the truck much this past little while as I did some calculations and figured out that if I kept up at the pace I was going I might have it done just in time to put it away for winter.
So I am going to slow the pace and enjoy what is left of the summer, though so far it has been really wet. August should be nice though, and we are itching to get out and do some camping.
I also just returned from a 9 day, 6000km motorcycle ride North which was good to get away on a guys trip.

I thank you all for following along and I hope that I have not discouraged anyone from checking in on the progress.
Scouts honor that I will be back at it hard in October, at the latest!

I do intend on working on the 1940 so there will be little updates, and I also have the running 1946 to putter around with too.
I just refurbished the gauge cluster so I will attach a picture of how that turned out. Visually it turned out great, however the speedo is acting up so if anyone has some advice...
I will do a search of the forum here for some hints, but I am thinking that I may need to send it out to a pro.

Enjoy,
Steve
