Hello all,
Im back after a long absence. Moving to Florida after retiring from 32 years of service with CAL FIRE and 37 years in the fire service total. I got married in October. And she has been telling me to get the ol PW running. I moved it into my new shop about 6 or 8 months ago and it has just been sitting. Didnt run too well before I moved and ran even worse when i got here. So my plan was to get it in the shop and tear it down and replace things that needed it and repaint and basically redo it all. Instead Im just going to get it running at the request of the wife. Going to get oil and spark plugs today. Hopfully get it running today or tomorrow and be able to take it to our Fourth of July celebrations.
I hope to be back on regularly. And probably asking questions again since its been so long since Ive worked on the PW and ive slept a few times since I last done this, lol
Thanks to Joe for keeping this forum going for so long and making such an important resource to us all possible.
Happy Fourth everyone, get your Power Wagons out and show them off, our trucks aresuch a great part of American history
Thanks
Nick
