Got the steps on temporarily, I presume they're Chev steps? they are different to the curved cast arms on ford steps I've seen, and the step itself is of a different pattern. Picked up the new tyres the other day, cleaned up some inserts and put the combat wheels together. After putting them on the truck (the first time its had a complete set of tyres in 40+ years) we stood back to admire the old girl, now looking the part, and finished up for the day. The next morning we were greeted by a flat tyre... so after a bit of grumbling, a bit of work, and a new tube, it was readyish to try and move. Started first go, which is good considering it was running fine when we last worked on the engine, so we took her for a run down the road for about 3km. First time i've ridden in a (moving) blitz and it was great, the roar of the engine... the tractor like ride and handling (it was a dirt "road" after all
) Got up to about 50kmh, everything survived the ride, and even some of the small water/oil leaks have disappeared. Still waiting for the windscreen glass
...should have them soon.
