The First Thousand Miles..

2 Attachment(s)

At least for me...

Brought it home the last week of April 2015.

One of the first things I did was to have Papanick rebuild the speedometer, which never worked while we've owned the truck..it always read zero miles...

I've taken the "work a little,drive a little" approach.

Learned plenty, thanks to the Barn and others, and have had lots of fun and some frustration....

But it drives well now and has many more miles left in it...

Better re-seal the gas gauge next!

Hay Sorry about that. I'm just getting to old. But just can not give up on the cores. I just love working on them. My wife said that I will have to take my tools with me when I go to that big shop in the sky.
