Congratulations on your retirement. I retired a couple of years ago, thinking I'd be bored stiff with nothing to do - after all - there is only so much hunting and fishing a guy can do. Anyway, I'm so damn busy that I need to go back to work for a break!!
As far as your '55 pickup is concerned, I'd drain the gas tank, squirt a little WD-40 in the cylinders overnight (leaving the plugs out), put in new plugs, replace all the fluids including gas and fire her up. Were any problems showing the last time it ran? |

When was the last time you thought of yourself as a "junior" anything? I think they should change it to "new" member. Somehow, I never really felt like a "junior" person in anything!!
Have you considered selling your truck and putting the money into some other project? If you have, I might be interested in buying it. |
