I got Ol' Dempsey out from under the carport and gave the truck a bath. We climbed in and took it down to Milts to get some trimmer string. Then we went to Zimmermans Produce and bought some apples and mums. Kayla wanted a pumpkin, so that rode in the cab with us. We then took a 30 min cruise through the backroads of Oakville, Loveville, Morganza, Helen and Chaptico. Total miles driven was just over 21 miles. Now I'm thinking of getting started on some needed repairs. Thinking about ordering a new wiring harness and all the cab weather stripping. Carey would like to see a new headliner. The ATHS National show in York PA is coming and I was thinking about sandblasting the wheels, bumper and running boards. I was also thinking about rebuilding the sideboards and repainting them. I also want to replace my flapping mirrors with new ones. I think I'm gonna start with the wiring harness.

I got out this morning for a cruise too. Had to take advantage of another beautiful Sunday.
You need to stay on Josh to get the a Jolly Green Giant on the road. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 568 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 568 | Actually, if it wasn't 7:30 on a Sunday and a dead battery, we woulda had another wheel on Ol' Ike done. We looked at a few things on Dempsey such as two speed and I text Sweet about a new radiator cap. I also talked to Josh and he's gonna try to bring Dempsey down to the tractor parade in L-town this weekend for me. I'll be out of town camping. I'm thinking very seriously about replacing Dempseys wiring harness with a new one from Jim Carter. Hopefully John has some experience with the harnesses and can give me a hand. I have a short thats blowing the fuse to my body lights. May be time for a new one before something bad happens. | | | | | Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,722 24601 | | 24601 Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,722 | Glad to, Mike. The best helper for that is Charlie! When I did the Blue truck, it was really helpful to have Charlie as a reference.
