It actually was a fairly smooth and QUICK trip.
Had a tire separate in the last 100 miles of the journey, changed it.
In the first 300 miles of the trip I had a fuel tank selector valve power supply issue (it worked loose), but in the process I found out that somone was under the truck, apparently stealing fuel, because I found a hose clamp loose on the main supply side of the switching valve.
The clamp maybe working LOOSE I could understand, but it was actually dangling there when I noticed it.
It was opened to the max.
Time for an electric fencer.
I'll either cure them or kill them.
Got the dead fish dropped off in Cincinatti, then beat it back to the Indianapolis area for 2 Dodges, one on the truck, one on a dolly.
Stopped in to deal on a dead '93 4wd at "Oldestof11's".
I had a car on the truck and one dollied behind, so I unloaded.
We stripped the body and what not, then I hauled the carcass in to the local scrapper on Monday.
Jon! I Wish I HAD kept the crossmember, turns out it's needed, now.
After that I ended up in South Dakota and dropped off the 2 cars I had on, a '69-1/2 6 Pack, 4 speed Super Bee and a 318 Coronet 500, then hoofed it to a buddy's yard to pick up a '91 4x4 body, for the 3.07 axles, then had the tire separate on the last leg home.
All in all, it went smoothly, and up until I stopped at Jon's, the trip was going very quickly.
Time to sort and store parts and rebuild the front end on the hauler.
It needs it.
Mark.
