Welcome to the Stovebolt Page, Jonkehote (Tilting at trucks, are we???)!! Sounds like a pretty decent truck you have, and off to a decent start.
Seems like a practical approach to me. The rest of the gang ought to be along as soon as they get kicked out of whatever bar they stopped in at on their way home tonight (I took the day off...)
While you're waiting on them, have you checked out the rest of the web site? Use the menu bar at the top of the page and check out the tech tips and features pages (among the rest). We have some stuff in there you might find useful (like how to start a restoration -- although you're pretty well along, there still might be some stuff you can use in there).
And you're off on the right track by asking questions. We might not have the answers, but we can be entertaining

... at times...
Thanks again for stopping by -- hope you like it here! Stay late and hurry back. The light's always on. Just be sure to wipe your feet coming in and bring an armload of wood for the stove.
Regards,
John
