I was wondering the same thing?
Looks nice so far AT- lots of work sucks but when you are all done and can step back and see the difference you made it will be great!!
Did you and your Dad ever talk about teaming?

well today was a waste: whet to release the brakes to take it to the shop....took 5 min to release. Got to the shop, could smell the brakes burning the one that was smokeing when my dad brought it home from this shop a week ago, AND i went to see if the rim was hot and i could feel it from about a foot away.
The brakes were locked tight once we set the brakes at the shop.....machanics couldnt get them to release, nothing. took 6 guys 4 hours just to get the drum off. The shop owner was puzzled, the replaces every part and piece on the fron brakes a week ago, my dad drove it 10 miles home, and it was smokeing a little and he called the shop and they figured it had grease on it, but to bring it back when he had the chance which was today. So 20 miles and the breaks are so messed up on the drivers front brake they cant get it apart. lol So after being there ALL DAY we ended up takeing a cab home lol.
Oh well, going to a concert tonight some little local country/classic rock band

Even if the truck is going in for something simple that shouldn't take very long, if I'm not pulling a trailer to the shop, I drag my little beater truck. At the very least, I can use it to run some errands or grab a bite to eat while the truck is being worked on instead of being stuck at the shop all day.Attached Files:
