It's Alive and Moving!

July 12, 2011 6:45 p.m. after putting the power steering reservoir hose on and getting the air bled out, was unable to turn the steering fully, why? Because as the truck sat in the driveway the right rear tire went flat causing the left front to migrate off the edge of the driveway and sink slightly into the yard causing the tire to bind on the curb. Only one thing to do, move the truck!
Yes! it moves under it's own power and also stops, it has not been driven since 1994, yes I am aware that some of you were not even around then.

After the initial in and out or the driveway, we did make one lap around the block, gotta get the vacuum line on the trans so it will shift and need to clean the windows badly, sorry no video of this ride.
But I am glad to report that it made it safely back into the driveway.
and yes it did chirp a tire coming up onto the driveway.
