Wow it has been a long time since I have updated this thread. First off my wife has decided she wants a divorce after 19 years of marraige and 29 years of knowing eachother, so things are relly changing, starting with the sale of our hoome and division of assets.
Fortunately she is not being mean spirited or vindictive, and we have been able to continue a friendship during the whole process. I will be able to keep the truck and other vehicles I own, as will she with her car and truck. Life is on a very accellerated course in getting the house ready to sell, filling out millions of forms and seeking advice from tax specialist. I believe we will both be able to part with enough money to put toward purchasing new homes in our community, and in decent neighborhoods, etc.

So now that that is all said. My friend Randy who has been working on my truck reports that he has had to modify the shifter mechanism from lokar as he ran into the same problems as I did, with the shifter, not adjusting between gears correctly. He has also gone over some wiring, tuned the engine, fixed the carb, and is working on adjusting the brakes. Fortunately he still has the truck so I have space to deal with storage until the house is sold. Anyway that is my update for now. Take care I will post more as things progress.
