Sunday was a pretty nice day here in KC so I figured I'd go ahead and make the 120 Mile trip north to our farm to put the big truck away for the winter. It was a nice day for a drive and some old truck solitude. The fresh air heater that I recently installed but haven't hooked up the fan on yet, started radiating warmth once the truck came up to temp. And kept my toes quite warm. It's been a fun summer with this truck and I've really enjoyed the "Big Bolt Goodness". Amazing to me the difference in the truck since I last had it at the farm. Here\'s how it looks now. and Here\'s how it looked the day it left last summer.
I've still got a long way to go on it, but I feel like I've stabilized it's condition to the point I can focus more on some of the other projects I've got cooking in Mongo's Garage.

As usual, thanks to you guy's for the help online and offline, couldn't do it without ya all!

Mongo: Nice job! It looks great. I'm interested in any pictures you might have taken during the brake rebuild. You got any?
