salans7 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I, too, am worried about this. But I am trying to keep calm and not let it get to me. I have plenty to do on the truck, so choose to focus on it. However, I am going to start placing some pressure on the guy. I'll have to ask for the emails he has sent, logs of any calls and to whom he spoke, etc. I'll wait until next Monday, a week after I last asked, and then start pushing. Hopefully the guy has a good reason for the delay and isn't giving you the run around. But I'm a realist and I see things for how they are. Let us know if we can help in any way.

And, a funny story: Told Janey today that since tomorrow looks to be nice I think I'll open the shop door, roll Big Blue back a few feet to give me more room to maneuver the shop crane, and install the engine. Then I got the text saying the parts will soon be in and I realized that there's no front axle under the truck, so rolling it back might be difficult.

Would have been nice if he relayed that to you a few weeks ago, but I guess that's water under the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary, you might appreciate the humor in this: Proverbs 14:4 Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty, but from the strength of an ox come abundant harvests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VWThomason Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I think Big Blue will be able to pull itself out of a pit [or well], any day. Is this still on the back burner or have I somehow missed another post on the finished product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Is this still on the back burner or have I somehow missed another post on the finished product? The D60 is in. But the engine, transmission, et al to be able to test it aren't, although we are getting close. Do you have specific questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
