Short truck – chapter 3

[Yesterday’s run: 10 miles is what they told me]

I worked a bit more on the short truck yesterday.  I put in 2 quarts of engine oil to get it back to the proper fill level.  And I’ve put in 2 quarts of transmission fluid.

I was able to niggle the shift lever into a spot where it went into reverse.  So that makes me think I have shift linkage problems and maybe not a broken transmission.  That would be a good thing!

Yesterday we packed the dog into the car and drove to Jackson, MS to take the wife shoe shopping.  That made for a long day but we did find success.

Today we went to church, then we drove up to Aberdeen, MS on a Sunday drive.

p.s.  In my working on this truck, I recently put on my car-repair coveralls and discovered the missing keys for the “long” old truck.
