Quick update.

Replaced the rear leaf springs, and all but one bushing. Couldn't get the bolt off the torque tube, will take it for an alignment once the snow melts, and have someone replace it at that time.

Been doing a bit of hood alignment. I replaced one of the front fenders last year, and never quite got the alignment right. Needed to reshim the core support to finally get it looking good.

Replaced another master cylinder this year, went with one from classic parts. It looks closer to the one I took off. We'll see if it works any better. I added a 10lb residual valve as well. See if that improves the braking at all. Not that I'm expecting modern braking characteristics.

I recently picked up some new carbs, and an intake. Looking forward to getting it all together, and running. The carb that was on it was original, but I could never get it to work quite right. Local guy told me to use it as a doorstop:).

I will need to remove the vaccum "advance" on the distributor as the new 9super7 carbs don't have the vaccuum port. And I could never get it to work right anyhow.

Other than a few little things, once the carbs are on, and plumbed I plan to put the truck back on the road for a another summer!
