Finally picked up my dream truck!

Here's the cab from the sleeper.

 

I have a laundry list of repairs, most of which are minor. Power windows work, but when I tried to roll driver's side back up it wouldn't go. I didn't have my tools with me, so I couldn't open dash up. First day, I was on US 2 in MT, with mid 40s, so I was OK. Yesterday I started from Beach, ND in the low 20s, and it dropped to 18 before I got to Fargo, which is the home town of the baseball player who really holds the single season home run record, unless you consider that he should have an asterisk because he had 8 more games. Anyhoo, I borrowed a torx driver from the Love's tire shop, opened the dash and switched to the switch for the right side. Without my hands feeling like they were frostbite, I could buckle down to do so driving, without stopping.

The heater motor in the Sleeper doesn't work, and I don't think it is just a fuse. The panel that supports the mattress has all the screws removed, and you access the HVAC through it. Me thinks someone may have tried to fix it before.

 

Much of the early stuff will be strictly functional. Today I had the right windshield reached at Safelite. Then I'm going to the shop and pulling the fenders. I'll get a chassis lube tonight.

 

That looks sharp! Keep sharing your pictures.

 

I took it to have the clutch adjusted as there was zero free play. They couldn't get it to move, and another shop couldn't either. After both of them trying, I got about 3/8" free play, and I figured that would last me so I could earn a little and fix other things.

While coming back, I started to notice the free play was increasing, and by the time I got back, the clutch was on the floor. No slippage. I checked to see if maybe the bell crank was loose on the through shaft in the bell housing, but no joy. Probably a throw out bearing, which means the clutch needs to be done now. No sense fixing that and not replacing the clutch.
