Default Thank you

Because of the good people here I corrected some problems with my Marathon that I was concerned about. It was backfiring, running fast, and would not run at slow speed. It was either off or hauling a$$. I took all of 10 minutes this morning to adjust my throttle cable and now have a car that has civil manners to slow roll at the truck shows and still fast enough to be fun. Next is to adjust the brakes and fix the broken springs on the park pedal. I took the wife on some trails through the woods this morning and had her giggling like a little girl. I reminded her this is with street tires, now she wants a lift and mud tires. My oil injection is still working good but I will start mixing my gas soon. As I said,,,,thank you.

I love that Jeep body. My friend at work has a CJ5 with a lift kit, tires, etc, and still runs the AMC 20 rear end and 360 engine. He wants a cart with that body so he can paint it to match his rig. I just wanted people to hear that I have had good luck with my Marathon because of them. Yes it is always good to hear good things because there is enough negativity in the world today.

It is my 1951 Mack A30. It is a former fire truck and has just a tick over 9000 miles. We will be at a big show this weekend in Wellington, Ohio. they will have antique trucks, steam and other tractors, and lastly Indian motorcycles.

^^ Beauty - love the old trucks. Amazing to compare them to today's rigs. They look so small, yet have such style....
