After the teeth I finished an AC repair on the same machine. Went to his haul truck and swapped a brake chamber, fixed a trailer light issue (amazing what grounds do for circuits lol), fixed an air leak on the trailer, changed a hydraulic coupler on his 299. Doing that the pry bar I was holding the lines with slipped and smacked my eye. I bled like a stuck hog!
Didn’t get back to the steel plant to finish the landing gear on a trailer. I’ll knock it out Monday. Tomorrow the oldest boy and I are headed to a truck show in Norman.
My demo buddy has a job close to my house, he sent me a picture of an old GM dump truck. Late 60’s early 70’s. I wanted the 427 out of it but got to looking at it….pretty solid old truck. Might actually be worth fixing up. Bed isn’t bad, both transmissions are there. Either way some or all of it will live again. He’s got 4 or 5 jobs coming up I’ll lend a hand on either moving iron or shagging loads to the dump. We trade back and forth a lot.
