    El Paso, Texas to Mantua, Ohio

    The truck is quiet. Hector the cat was fine. He doesn't like riding in cars, but I told him to calm down and it won't go any faster unless he gets out and pushes. He just laid on the floor until we stopped. When we stopped he would get out and use the restroom then get back in when he...

    Here is the long awaited picture of the custom seat and carpeting. I think Ed is currently doing the same mod to his truck. I have an airseat for the drivers side, but I have to cut the top off so I can get it further back. I did not want to be sitting right up against the steering wheel.

    Ed post the ones you have. I will take some later. I have been kinda busy. Make sure you get the old lady's air seat. It is a good mod. Any married man should do it. If they want to stay married when they get there.

    When I weighed the deuce empty with the trailer half full, to make sure I wasn't overloading the trailer, it was 19,920 lbs. The trailer was half full not including the press, chery picker, or the tools. I added a bunch more stuff to the trailer and loaded the truck. I didn't weigh it, but it...

    We made it. We went over 800 miles today. We are tired. I will post some pics tomorrow. Everything went well. The truck ran great. It is running about 150 to 200 degrees cooler at the lower altitude on the pyro. I guess I answered my question about too much fuel. It was too much...

    We are at a hotel in Amarillo. So far it is running well. The pyro is 1100 when the RPM is at 2000 or above, but 1800 to 2000 it will hit 1200 and I have to get out of the gas. I try not to load the motor under 1800. I will have to read up on the drop screw adjustment later. Here are some...

    Ed you promised me that you sold me a good motor, and I would get to Ohio under my own power. Good luck cutting wood. I have a chainsaw somewhere in the back. If I see you I will give you hand.

    We are moving to Ohio. We are going to go to my parent's house in Mantua, then to Port Clinton where we will be living. The guy with the Dodge shipped my other vehicles. We will be alone in the deuce. It is packed full. I took the cover off the trailer today to fit a bit more on top...
