So I've been getting the 76 ready to go up to Green Bay in April to help my younger daughter. She is going to have a girl in two weeks so I'm going up to help out with my grandson (two as of last Saturday)and whatever else she needs me to do for a month. Her husband, a great guy, unfortunately can't get any time off. The GMC will make it so much easier so I can help and still give her family space. So exciting!
Getting ready I found the water heater had rusted thru so I picked up a stainless tank from JimK and got that in and as long as I was there, took the water holding tank out and cleaned it and replaced all the water lines around there. Also had to rebuild the relay arm in the steering linkage. In the process I found the lower U joint in the intermediate steering shaft was toast. Sheesh!, I just wanted to clean this thing up to go on a little trip. Oh well, no problem, got the parts to fix that. I'll use the same Borgeson set up I did on the 73, works a treat - that's today's job.
I hope I don't find anything else. Any way it'll be a great trip, I'm sure.
Cheers!
