91 Burb - For those who had not heard, my cracked head, was not that. It was a spun #1 rod bearing. When it let go, I had just done a very hard hill climb and let it idle for ten minutes while I fixed the tarp. The oil was very hot, very used (3000 hard pulling miles) and with it being so warm, the oil pressure was lower than it is normally. It was showing about 20 on the guage, but that's at the back of the motor where pressure is higher. Normally it's not less than 40. I think if I would've shut the motor off when I fixed the tarp, it would've been okay. It's just the oil was so warm that it wasn't all that effective and yeah, it caused my bearing to spin instead of glide. CRAP! Hopefully I'll get the crank out in the next couple of days and get it downtown for repair/exchange. I may just let this go though as I have two folks looking to buy it as is.
74 K-5 - Planning on shipping it down here in the near future. It needs a few things fixed prior to shipment, so it's on hold till after Christmas/New Years, but soon it'll be headed my way, I hope. It may even have a set of KTF bumpers on it before it ships.
Found a potentially new DD this evening, it's big, has a TD and would haul the family and my trailer around nicely. Not to mention it's a good price, 3/4 ton and wears a bow tie.
