I'm in San Diego now with the high school robot team. I drove my 57 chevy one ton here, with the robot, tool box, batteries, spare parts etc filling up the bed. I got to stare at the back of a school bus all day...fun! The robot stuff starts tomorrow with practice, robot inspection, etc. Then Saturday and Sunday we play qualifying matches, and Sunday afternoon it's the eliminations. Hopefully we'll be in the show then, and do ok. My signature has a link to my web page, my web page has a link to the webcast...

Thanks!
The truck is doing ok, it is burning gas pretty welll...I didn't get to check the mileage on the first fill up, because the pump shut off at $100 and it wasn't quite full. It went 320 miles on 26.xx or so gallons...which is kinda lousy, but par for the course.
Since I just got done messing with the transmission, it has a few little issues still, like the transmission still doesn't work too well. It popped out of 3rd a few times, and there's a neat tinny rattle that is probably just the dust cover under the bellhousing, not being in quite the right place. I'll probably take it off for now.
But that 454 sure pulls hills better than a school bus.My fabulous web page

I saw quite a few other old cars on the road near Yuma, I think there's a show there this weekend.
But I hardly ever see any old cars/trucks when I'm on a trip...My fabulous web page
