The parts truck, February 22-28











Jim and his friend went to purchase the parts truck on Saturday February 22. We got a canopy and a 1970 front grille with the purchase. On Wednesday and Thursday of that week Jim disassembled the parts truck.

Back in Spokane. 17 February 2008





We left Portland, OR just before noon on Sunday the 17th of February and made it to Pasco, WA around 4:00pm. We stopped at an undisclosed location to fix the Pinion seal leak. Jim completed the job in about 10 minutes. After that we went to look at a parts truck (69 Dodge D100 short box). We continued on to Spokane at 7:00pm and 40 miles out of Spokane the alternator went out. We pulled over to see if it was a simple fix but unfortunately it wasn't. We started up the Honda and turned on the parking lights, since the car was wired to the truck for brake and turn signals, it helped spare our battery. We made it to Spokane at around 9:45pm. The next morning we change the alternator, starter, and threw some nice wheel covers on the truck. We power washed both vehicles and called it a day.
