I need a new project like I need a hole in the head, so I went and looked at this on Friday. I think it's coming home. Transport will be fun. The GMC is too easy to work on, so this will allow me to embark on a new journey of never finding parts.
What did you do today that kept you away from your GMC?

Surely you've seen the spring thaw by now. Not even a dewinterizing in the works?
Ran when parked...?
It's good to have a lot of projects, makes you spend your time more efficiently. Of course it'll also drive you crazy, but you'll be a very efficient crazy person.
At some point, yes.Ran when parked...?
This truck has survived two previous owners while sitting. Guy A was the actual owner/driver/farmer, and passed away. It has WA tags from 1997--way newer than some of my other projects. After it sat a few years, his wife got all the inheritance paperwork together and sold it in 2003. Guy B bought it and shipped it down to Oregon. He set it in front of his shop, where it started gathering more moss. Guy B reportedly had a lot of projects, and never got around to it. He then passed away as well, I think within the last couple years. This is the last remaining vehicle his wife has to sell. It sounds like it's been a journey for her--a glimpse into my wife's future I'm sure. I should probably have another 40-50 years left, so I'll "get around to" making things easier someday.
We do have the original, signed WA title on hand. Guy B never titled it, nor did Widow A name him as the buyer anywhere. So the whole chain of ownership isn't accounted for, which may be OK if I ever get around to titling it with our Oregon DMV.
8 stitches
6 stitches. Ripped open the skin between the nail and the knuckle on both figures. Pretty nasty securing the large skin flaps. It happened because stupidly I neglected to put my work glove on when I was trying to put the 12v Victron Multiplus into place and my hands were under it when it fell. Thankfully no broken bones. On the bench until Tuesday when the stitches are removed.
