What have you done to your square lately??

I drove the truck for the first time since getting it from Redding CA 2 1/2 years ago. Fixed a leaking pinion seal, torqued all the new suspension components, lug nuts, checked air pressures, pressure tested the tank and vent system for emissions before taking it out on its maiden voyage. Forgot to plug the speedometer cable back in so it set a CEL, corrected that, took it for another spin. All and all, it doesn't run too bad, transmission hits all 4 gears and lock up, can't ask for much more. Still have a ton to do but I know it will drive now. Put about 20 miles on it.

This is the original thread where I bought it:

Need honest quote for this truck, not a I know what I have?

I have access to buying a new project, but I'm not going to! Family friend she is 83 years old, her husband passed in 2009. She has no idea how much this truck is worth. It was start disabled in 2007 (distributer wires disconnected) and hasn't moved from this spot because he tried to drive it in...

Good job Mike! Just adding the wheels and tires is a 1000% improvement.

She's doing ok! Her son is taking care of her, but she's still doing the 4h thing.

Excellent!, keep her busy.

And on another note, passed emissions today on the first try which surprised me but I will take it. It's officially on the road.

I’m glad I don’t have to do emission testing….

(Wouldn’t ever pass)

Absolutely- sitting in a Les Scwaub recently with a daily driver tire repair, I can’t believe the amount of cheesy wheels in catalogs. I’d take a set of turbines over most new stuff out there any day of the week (actually they’re one of my favorites).

Texas is doing away with the safety inspection next year. We don't have emissions for them anyways but I still think a basic safety inspection is still needed so you're not driving a huge pos with bad brakes, tires, lights and ect. Guess they don't feel the same. Hmm...
