...u-joints being inspected and replaced if necessary... The two in-line driveshafts were checked, and out of 3 universal joints, one was questionable, and the center carrier bearing between the driveshafts needed to be replaced. So, to be safe, all u-joints and that bearing will be replaced. Last week I received a new, 4-row, shiny aluminum radiator from BrothersTrucks.com. What a thing of beauty (in a machine sense)! As soon as I can get some time, I'll dig under the hood, haul out the old, 3-row radiator, and install the new one along with a new thermostat.

Power brake booster still needs to be replaced; the original has power braking on the first brake press but loses power with an immediate, consecutive brake press. The brake booster was replaced a few months ago, and now when I step on the pedal hard, the truck locks it brakes... just the way it's supposed to.  Right now the truck is in Stockton Autocare for more work to get it ready for the freeway. The fuel sending unit is being replaced so I can have a working gas gauge, right rear inner fender brace support is being tack-welded on (so the brace can be attached), u-joints being inspected and replaced if necessary, cigarette lighter socket (power outlet) being fixed, and mysterious banging sound under the cab (when I turn at slow speeds) being investigated.

After discussion with the booking person of Toolbox LA and in light of the ever-moving dates of Covid-19 closings in the area, I am postponing the Commodore Los Angeles Super Show 2020 which was scheduled to be on April 25-26. I appreciate that Toolbox LA is willing to change the contract that I signed, and other dates later in the year have been offered. I will discuss this with members of the Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network and get their input. Then a new weekend will be chosen. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this.
