The Good, The Bad, My Life

Well this morning I was given my Permanent position with Telus. I also got my insurance and plate transferred to my Tank.
The bad is that although my Tank is off the lift it is missing front hubs so there is duct tape there to keep dirt out until the parts arrive, also both my front and rear drive shafts are on the crap. The front could do to just have the u-joints replaced but the whole rear shaft is buggered.
So right now my Tank is sitting in my parking spot at the Telus North Garage.

Reasembly

Tonight I actually started to put parts back onto The Tank. The goal is to get it drivable by closing time Thursday night so that I can park it somewhere other than the shop cause It would cost me money and I don't want that.

It has begun

Today my truck went on the lift and I started taking it apart. The brakes are off, the axles are out. The steering rack is off, and I'm not even done taking things off yet.

Repair Work

So apparently my drive train is kinda fucked and needs about 2-3 thousand Dollars in parts. The frame floor and basics are in amazing shape so what I'm gonna do is start the rebuild tomorrow night and my Bike is up for sale. The truck has been weighted and comes in at a little over 6100 LB. I have Christened it The Tank.

TOUCHDOWN !!!!

OK so I did get the Bronco tonight.

Since I know you are all dieing to know what's wrong with it I'll give you the run-down.
The alignment is so bad the wheel has to be almost a quarter of a turn to the right. The signals don't work. The front tires rub on the quarter panels when I turn because they are too big. The locking wheel hubs that you lock to go into 4x4 and unlock when you are just gonna use 2x4 are stuck locked in 4x4. The side mirrors are useless and there is no rear view mirror. The battery connections are kinda wonky. The alternator warning light was on the whole hour long drive home. The Parking break doesn't work. The door locks don't work, the roll down windows are on their last legs.

On top of all of that I'm back to AM only radio. But I love it and it sounds soo good.

Trade

Tomorrow after work I am going to drive outside the city an hour to talk to a man about swapping trucks. My 87 F-150 for his 79 Bronco. It needs some work but with any luck I'll be driving back to Calgary in a Bronco. I have to take a tape measure with me to see if it will fit into my parkade.
Below is a pic of the Bronco.

Ass Kicked

Wow I've been doing my second job for only 3 days and I'm already thinking of dropping it. Working it even by it's self is kicking my ass.
