    Blair to help with the guilt of having your own shower I suggest you get dressed after your shower and carry you bag around the parking lot, get hot and sweaty and enjoy the smells.

    There it is - working.

    Just plotting my way into Massachusetts, north of Bawston, and trying to figure out where I'll park when the elogs ultimately run out . .

    Blair, I put one of those turbo wings on my sleeper - 83 359 flat top 63" - and I always had a bit of a wind vibration at highway speeds. If you find the same thing you might try removing it for a bit and see if that cures it before changing u-joints, etc..
    Beautiful outfit, enjoy!

    That load has tarps on it. I thought Old Man taught you better than that.

    The very definition of "First World Problems".

    I hope you can find a way to suffer though those issues.

    Thank you - and I have to lower the wing, and the Q/Comm bubble, to allow easy access into the shop. It's close - but I don't want any problems. I'll drop the both about 4-6" and see how the ride goes.

    I have noticed some anomalies in 'smooth' over 70 mph.
