[GB SISSON]

A lot has been going on in my life since I last posted on this thread. 2 of my work trucks down pretty bad. We dropped the front of the rear driveshaft of my 92 f350 onto the pavement at about 60 last friday night, racing for the ferry with about 3500 lbs of reclaimed lumber on the mainland. Luckily it's a 4wd dually flatbed so we made a sling to suspend the shaft and ran the breakdown lane in 4wd with the fronts pulling us..... Escorted by the state patrol no less. Two days later my backup chev lost it's shift linkage, So I borrowed my buddie's beater to get home that night. Now I'm on my suburban, which failed to start this afternoon leaving our jobsite. What's a guy to do? Well I got home early because of all this and just so happens it's the the day my wife works late so I got some much needed 'Me Time' on my project. Ok well I had a good weekend on it a few days back. Throttle linkage was fun. Used 3 old 1/2" wrenches with 5/16" nuts in them (drilled out to 5/16) for bearings. Even bought some nylon 5/16 nuts and bored the threads out of them. Now in my bell crank etc I have replaceable bearings. The other two are heim joints I bought on the mainland when we missed our ferry. I could go on all night but wife home soon gotta make a fire in the wood stove so it's cozy in here and she doesn't think I'm obsessed with my 'project'. The aluminum rad arrived today. I had cut out the 'stretcher' across the rad support to move it ahead, and am now adding a new one 1/2" forward, but that's a story for another day.
