Upon my arrrival, Les already had the truck loaded up on the lowboy, I was told it stopped raining long enough for them to load up. I have already driven it around the neighborhood. I am just doing some (thats an understatement on a truck this size) PM, 2 days and I am still not done. She runs fine and the air brakes will put you thru the windshield. I have not wiped the grin off my face yet  John Gott 1942 G5106 1.5-ton Chevy cargo dump Gallery pageOld Dominion Stovebolt Society T/Sgt.

I have busy with work and after school activities with the little guy, however I have greased the truck, going on 3 hours with that job, over 40 zerk fittings, I am in the process of greasing the boom(s) and the cables, very time consuming, but will probably won't have to do this again for along time, all mechanicals work fine and boy does that Hercules RXC purr..............talk about torque, I give myself a year to repaint and tidy up a few areas,the body is solid, but I will put a headliner in. The plan is to have the body soda blasted, teh Chevy is cool but this baby is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cool.  John Gott 1942 G5106 1.5-ton Chevy cargo dump Gallery pageOld Dominion Stovebolt Society T/Sgt.
