Running again
Thanks to Talbot. We went through and adjusted valves, timing, re-built the Weber and fired up my truck for the first time in over a year. It was music to my ears.
I just converted my truck over to a galvanized chasis, new suspension (para's), Salisbury etc. \

Pete have you figured out why your new distributor wobbles? Bent shaft?Comment

I took my 9.5" inflatable out for a spin. I've been looking for a larger inflatable but i just love how it fits nicely into the back of Rex.Comment

My bulkhead is ready to go to the paint shop. Had a friend rework some seems and redo a few welds in the bulkhead I picked up last summer. Overall it was in pretty good shape but still needed some attention. This week I'll take it down to a friends shop for some fresh blue paint. Also having the brand new rad support painted and a few odd trim panels. I was contemplating doing the fenders and bonnet but I think that I'll leave them faded for now....the bulkhead door frames may stand out a little but I figure the truck will look a little odd if the front half is all nice fresh paint and the back half is not. I don't think i have the budget for a full respray right now. Hope the next pictures I post look less like this:
and more like this:
I have nicer wheels...and will obviously need tires....but thats the least of my worries at the moment. Since the top photo was taken I have installed a full exhaust. lots of odds and ends remaining...big things to do: body work obviously, wiring, and run new brake lines.Comment

What I didn't do...
Came outside to find my Rover covered in mud and road sludge. And it has a blown exhaust.
This is what I get for loaning my truck to my brother for two weeks.
(I'm just jealous that I wasn't there on the trail with him)Seth
