Well the truck made it to the Sanford Memorial Day parade and back. Few pics of the fun.

Had a good day at the Sanford Memorial Day parade thanks to ODFever. Few pics of the action.

Got a few things done today, prepping for the Memorial Day parade Monday. Finally after a year plus without an operational passenger side wiper got the electric motor and arm installed. Was going to wait until I replaced the rusted out upper frame, but doubt that will happen very soon. And I...

Got my AVM hubs today from the SS group buy. Installed them and checked operation. Good to go. They don't even stick out much with the wider tires/wheels.

Received my hubs this afternoon, all there and intact. Now are installed. Thanks Patracy! :patracy:

Hey there Mark. Here is the route that would place us as far east on 1st street as possible. For us and others coming in from the south into Sanford take Ronald Reagan NE towards Sanford. It changes names to Sanford Av. around Lake Mary Blvd. Continue north past Airport Blvd. and past SR 46...

Still waiting... Can't wait 'till Christmas morning!

I know what you mean. Still sore, may stay that way.:sad:

Thanks AA. No, it's a regular manual bleed valve, just pull the cable. Guess you could run it into the cab...

Finally got around to reinstalling the air tanks today. I relocated them about 6 inches lower to clear the battery compartment I built in the floor. All fit in well, still well above the dual fuel tanks/brackets. If I see the need, can easily add a skid plate below the tanks. I slotted the...

Yes I agree. I'll be road testing next weekend, will check for witness marks and adjust accordingly. Already have a 3/4" thick nut welded on my right steering stop. Don't want to add more if I don't have to.

Thanks AA. I hope it holds air and drives good.

Whew, TIRED today. Mounted my new tires and got them on the truck. What a job. Next time I think I'll summon some help. Ugg. Too much weight for this old man to wrestle around. Getting the tires on the wheels wasn't too bad, used some bead sealer on the new o rings and anti seize on the...

Did a little bit with the wheels yesterday and today after work. Separated them and cleaned up the mating surfaces and the o ring area with a wire wheel. Did a light coat of paint. My new o rings and valve stems arrived today. So I installed the valves and test fit the o rings. Pretty fresh...

What time do we need to meet for the line up? Is 8:30 still good or maybe earlier?

I'm sure you can AA. But I wanted to cut off any drafts that could occur as well as any dust intrusion from driving. Will be using wood trim over the tape. Could have used caulking, but if there were any leaks from the windows, I couldn't easily find out if caulked. With the tape, I can...

Thanks Mark. Trying. Still need to work on the brakes too!

That's why I got them now, for the GA trip. May have them on in time for the local Memorial Day parade in Sanford.

Brought a socket home from work today and disassembled the wheels. Not in too bad of shape. A bit of wire brushing, some new o-rings and a couple of standard valve stems and they should be good to go.

Ha ha ha! I love it zout! I bet you do have that bumper sticker! :lol:
