My job in NE was over so I was hauling all the furnishings home from my apartment. I had gone over the truck pretty well and it performed well on several short road trips. I was concerned about a few things. The front tires are a set of Wards Riverside, very old and weather checked but with good tread. The inside rears are old military with no treat left and in outer rears are pretty solid. The gas gauge didn't work, the water and fuel pumps are very old and completely covered in a thick layer of hard grease. I tried to pull the distributor cap to inspect but the plug wires are so old and stiff I was far afraid I would crack them if I tried to move it so I left it alone. The starter engaged about 20% of the time because the contact is so badly worn. If I'd had more time I would have repaired some of these...but what the heck, I just went with it.
I didn't take a lot of pictures as I drove quite a bit at night. One pic is at the gas station in Monroe NE and the other was taken by my nephew after he brought me a front generator bearing from Douglas WY down to Lusk WY after my break down. The third is at the only diner in Dunning NE late on the first day.
