Alignment done

Took the truck up to Burlington to Webb's alignment today. This guy is amazing. He is 82 years old and still does two alignments a day 4 days a week. His wife Karen is a sweetheart. She does all the appointments and collects the money. She gave me a history lesson on the Burlington area. Next Monday they will have been married 57 years. These are people you would like to have as a neighbor.
Anyway, Webb took a little over 2 hours to get my frontend straight. He told me I didn't have the ball joints tightened down enough, (which he fixed). I had the castor and camber close, but the toe in was way out of bounds. All of which he fixed.  He wants me to drive it for about a hundred miles to let it all settle in then he will check it again.. I have to say, as I drove it home, I was simply amazed. Rides great, steers great. Think I'm gonna like it.
I also got the brake return spring installed this week and wired up the license plate light.
Friday I will drive it to Warsaw, IL to Jeff the painters house, (That's about 42 miles from my house) and we will install the hood and do the final fit for it. Jeff will keep the truck and touch up a few things and do the final buff on it. Should be done by Labor day. The rest of the upholstery sometime later this year.  WOW, what a ride the last 6 years have been. Had a LOT of good help too.
