Happy 250 Yall!!!

Dad got a new 30' flag pole with a 5x8 flag we got it put up the day before. 

He's a Vietnam Navy Veteran.  He was the guy they took into the field to either recover downed jets or blow them up while surrounded by a bunch of marines watching their back. 

Thank you to all who served!  We owe you all everything.  literally everything!

A humble prayer:
  • To God we are committed through covenant...

    May our Nation, its leaders, and its residents, from their mouths, minds, and hearts, publicly affirm and renew their commitment to Him in all ways...

    And may He continue to bless us and all people whose hearts follow His.

    Blessed be the Holy Trinity and King of Kings.

    God Bless America!

    So may it be.
Happy 4th of July everyone!!!

Good Times!  I hope  ;D
Well I was working on it with my twin brother but we discovered more problems than solutions.  I am trying to get this 1968 C10 that has been off the road since 2001 back on the road.
I got the Inline 6 running after rebuilding the carb and replacing most of the ingnition components and then discovered here was no driveshaft.
Since I wanted to actually drive it, I acquired a T5 and did a Jeep Shaft swap that we had hope to just do a pull and swap.  It really didn't work out as planned as we doing discovery on we pulled it apart. The bellhousing required a spacer that I didn't have, the retainer needed to be cut down, along with the pilot.  Then there was an issue with 20 year old wheels and no brakes.  I spent half the day trying to get fluid to all of the wheels.  Needless to say it is still up in the air, literally.
