Finally.

She's sittin' in my driveway!

Her name is Venus, and she is home.

Me and Homey went to the shop today, and he actually let me turn a few bolts.

I can actually drive her now. Sweet!!!

I'm not used to the power.

WOW!!! is all I can say.

I think as far as a paint scheme for this I'm going with Silver for the body, and Black everywhere else.

I think we found the electrical gremlin today. Someone wired the radio directly into the battery cable. Hopefully that's the only problem.

None of the gauges work. More money.

What's a good reliable source fore gauges, if you care to offer?

After all of Homer's efforts of matching parts up to get the steering issues resolved, it's driving a ton better.

But Venus, "There's No Place Like Home".

And now she's home...

I'll keep you posted.

Davey

Truck Shop out of Orange, CA has a good selection of gauges at: www.truckandcarshop.com - get their 1960-1972 catalog.

Thanks Kimberley.

I'll take a look at that.

Hey, since you're the 100th visitor to my site, you get to download the best song I've ever heard in my life!!!

Just kidding a bit, but the song is on this page:
http://67chevytruck.com/free_songs/songs.html

Got the truck back today. I have a little bit of work to do tomorrow on my construction job, then I'm gettin' inside Venus!
