Got her home over the holiday's. I was going to trailer it
but the roads got salted so I rented a Flatbed and brought
it home. Got very little spray as it was up nice and high.
Spent 20 bucks at the car wash and did every inch of it
twice. Driver of truck was a little mad having to wait until
I reminded him he was two hours late picking me up. Still
no pictures. So amazed, this is my first car with no bondo.
Wheel cylinders are stuck but the MC is free. Drums are
mint needs shoes. She'll be getting driven as is once I
fix brakes. Original Ball joints still ok as are tie rods, idler's
etc. All the rubber bits on suspension are mint, soft and
pliabl. Maybe a hanger bearing and U-joints too
Has 2 brand new front tires and real nice rear snows.
Man this old girl is going to howl. Other than extra holes
drilled in the doors they are perfect, Cab corners and rockers
perfect, tailgate was never on truck, it is "pristine". Fenders
are sweet except the "normal" rust behind front tire. I am
in love with this truck, is this normal? It's like a disease. I can't
afford a full restore, she's a summer truck (no rain either) to cut wood
for my shop.
A "Bolterholic". I am also a Kawasaki "TripleHolic", I got a couple
nice old H1's and a "project H2" I just found last fall.
A friend told me the name of a place in the Kitchener Waterloo area that has repro stuff. I need a rear view
mirror and other things to make it legal.
