We got a few things done on the 66. Jeff swapped out the new lower a-arm. (Thanks again RJ!). The old one was bent in a way it was straightening out the front passenger tire.

Also put in a new speedo cable. It was interesting to see how far off I was before on my judgement of speed. Surprised I never got a ticket before!

Other than that, not much else.

Lori66,

Sounds like a productive weekend.

On my truck the P.O. put an after market air horn in and I have not liked it much so I decided to pull the original and test it. I was really surprised when it worked, of course it is a 6 volt horn running on 12v and boy was it loud. So I spent the weekend cleaning it up and painting it since I couldn't do much else with the truck. The horn now looks brand new all I have to do now is the rest of the truck so it matches.

I took the Ox to the barber shop, then took The Binder out for a spin and broke the water pump. So, I put another one in Sunday.


Another quality post.
