Geez, I can take to Felipe but I think he just went and got some random bushings. I can probly get the size of it. Its brass and it had a lip on one end that he ground off

Photo shoot time!

This well pad is called the Mauser. We have been servicing it for a year and half now. May not ever get the chance to have a Datsun up here again.

Round trip. We be home.

Doin some Canby stuffs to 620 today. Went out and fired it up, looked at all the gauges.....hmmmmmm fuel gauge now shows half.

Oh reeeeeaaalllllyyyyy.

Talked to the boy and he be like, "Oh yeah its been working for about a month now ever since you put the temp gauge in."



I have never messed with it. Maybe the connections finally got dried out being down here in Boise. Guess we will see if it stays working on the Canby trip eh??

Update???

Ummmmm.....just driving the shit out of it.

Well not really, It sits in Idaho Falls most the time now. Fires up every fucking time me or my dad want to go somewhere. Took it home last week. 600 miles round trip. Same ol same ol.

Oh so dad comes into the yard in Idaho Falls from Montana. Has 100 pounds of dog food with him. Got it from a previous load cuz 2 bags were damaged. Puts them in the front of the truck, one on the seat and one on the floor. Trouble is the one on the floor he put in upside down....rip in the bag was on the bottom....Naturally I pick it up and 37 pounds of the 50 pound bag of dog food fill the passenger side floor board. THANKS DAD!! Ya old fart!!

He drove it yesterday....hey you got dog food all over your floor board

























Parents....whattaya gonna do?



I do need to change the fan belt soon....maybe before winter would be a good idea.....

Fuckin quiet. Just how I like it!

Hmmmmm....may be time for an electric fan or aluminum rad.
Driving home from Idaho Falls yesterday....290 miles trip....was taking advantage of tailwind, drop her in 5th and mash on it. Was averaging close to 80mph. Look down and temp was at 200. Not too hot but hotter than it normally runs. Was only 75 or so degrees outside too. I already replaced the radiator cap so I know the system is good, has good pressure and all. I backed off it and it came down to around 190. Still warm, usually sticks on 180 and never moves. Not too worried although I do have a nice 7 bladed electric fan I could wire up.....

I did get 32 mpg with that tail wind all the way to Boise!!
