One ujoint cup is currently MIA. Another is shattered and the remaining two are looking a little lonely right now. The guy I bought my truck from happens to be going by and stops. We tell him what's up, he goes back to his house, gets tools, we extract the remnants of the ujoint and he is currently driving Chunky in to town to get another joint. Nose guy. So, I'm sitting here with no sweet tea or Grizzly to keep me occupied and this place is all a flutter with gnats!
But I'm in luck! Since Bent Mountain is apparently some sort of National Gnat Preservation Area (seriously, they're bad up here) the PO had a can of bug spray in the truck I just bought. SCORE!
They're swarming all around me but not one of them is daring to touch me. I feel like a superhero. Lord of the Flies! :)
Hows your Saturday going?

Dig it. 39% deet. The good stuff. Gnats fear me. I'm untouchable.
FYI, I just discovered that it is actually a fairly decent hand cleaner as well. Who knew???

Not a bad looking truck. If I had it I would gladly give you your money back for it.  Chunky needs Triple A. I will not go anywhere without my roadside assistance number.

  Nice pick on the truck shiny, are you in the vehicle of the month club or something?? Here is one project you could have for $95. There's a parts guy just upriver from here with all kinds of honda stuff, I will have to check it out before the year is out. Thousands of parts I guess.

Your flatbed towtruck pic reminds me of a night I broke down in a small village in my 85 GMC pickup, on a sunday night as it was getting dark. I figured, here we go i'll never make it home tonight. Walked up to the next house, where some local boys were sitting around a garage having a beer, they called their buddy, and 20mins later I was towed away on an 83 GMC flatbed towtruck lol.

a bit I guess. I have the Houston D and Ryan Matthews in my pool so I don't know how to go about cheering; though my opponent has Foster so I guess I'm cheering for a 10-7 game with each of the RBs scoring a TD and cancelling each other out.
edit: it's a 10:30 game so I won't be watching much of it!

 lol It sure seems like it sometimes! I was actually just looking for something to make a little money on. The season to sell 4wd's is coming soon and at $800 this seemed like a deal. Once I got there I found out the truck has a brand new gas tank,fuel pump and reman'd carb(the whole fuel system!). New distributor,cap,rotor,plugs and wires(the entire Ignition system!). It also has a new thermostat,radiator,water pump and hoses(The whole cooling system!). I couldn't pass it up. When I called the guy on the phone he told me it needed a tire(actually needs all four) and carb work. He said it wouldn't idle but that it revved fine. I asked if it had a slow return to idle and he said "yes". Bingo-vacuum leak!
I drove the truck and the clutch,front end and brakes felt good.
So I knabbed it for $650 and put a $12 intake/exhaust gasket on it tonight. Purrs like a kitten.  Tools,you are right.This thing rides like a car! Soooooo smooth. I think it might just be a keeper.  Good bye,El Camino????

Break out the starting fluid and find out! For your sake, I hope its not the square gasket between the two manifolds. That does NOT look fun to change.
