The poor Beef, probablly feels a little violated, is it still driveable? Good thing you had a parts truck sitting there. I got a feeling when you redo the Beef, Goldie won't be returning the favor!
So did you get it on the road yet,..?

Violated?
More like ***** after yer dad and Dave got the mirrors off the ole gal, then I started in on her. Voltage regulator(temporary gimme), a couple of vacuum lines and the rear tires which came off today.
She was a wee bit perturbed to say the least. Driveable?????? Not at the moment.
I'm sure the former Gold one won't be swapping things back. Yes I do agree. :Sly
Well I took the former Gold one for her maiden voyage today and wasn't a very sucessful launching.
I cooked the plastic line, from the clutch master cylinder to the slave, right into 2 pieces just a couple of miles down the road and had to limp her home with no clutch.
Not fun!
AND found the exhaust leak from the crossover pipe to the up pipe to be worse than first expected.
Only got 1 psi of boost.
Wasn't the seat of the pants YEEHAW I was looking forward to today after working out in the scorching heat again. 113 degree heat index.
Like they say.....Tomorrow, Tomorrow....... Ya know the rest.
Hopefully I can conjur up a repair kit for the line tomorrow whilst cruising for some puppy dogs.
There's still a few things needed to finish up the job before friday, but I should be able to make it......I hope.
But I can't forget to thank Joe for coming down last night to give me a hand at getting more done on the truck.
Poor liddeledoggie was sweatin so hard, he was smudging the wiring diagrams in the Hanes book.
Thanks again
