I can help move it south too. My son goes to USU and can bring it.

I have one on the way from Summit. I do sincerely appreciate the offer from all.

Looks like things are about as good as I could ask for. I'll probably buy a set of push rods, an intake gasket and some rocker nylon retainer buttons (8). Put it back together (checking/verifying push rod length) change the oil, and fire it up.
The rouge lifter seems very undamaged. Suspiciously so. We'll see how it goes. Sounds like lifters are tough to get these days?

Well, glad the issue was this.
Scared the crap out of me pulling out of my subdivision.
No real damage other than some fluid gone. Skated all over the place when I pulled into traffic on Orchard drive. Couldn't have possibly had the rears in fluid or anything

I can't give a wow and a rofl at the same time? The driveway stain is world class epic. That's some minty new clean looking fluid though ain't it?

You should see the patch on Orchard. It's WIDE.

Right? I've got floor dry out there but it'll never be the same again. I'm getting a LOT of spalling on the concrete surface for three years old. Probably a better in a whole different thread, but what's your take on resurfacing? Mine is rip and replace. I'll spend a GOOD chunk replacing rather than expanding my concrete empire

Muriatic acid will clean that up 97% of that.
I had a leaky transmission in my old Diesel Suburban (13 years ago) and I still got my deposit back at a rental.

I love my color but man, that looks sexay (that's a '70, mine's a '72).
I need to get a fresh starter (probably a new battery as well) in mine. It'll have to wait until after Jeep Safari for the battery unless NAPA will warranty a battery from '21 that I didn't personally buy?

I'm fairly sure this is my car's original color. I just couldn't go back there.

Starts, runs and drives again. Needs a battery pretty bad. I've got an eye on a 2005 V10 F350 so I'm saving my pennies for that. Battery will have to wait?
I ended up putting over 1 gallon of ATF in it from our little incident in the fall. Drives like an old car but will hustle when you hit the pedal at all.

Such a solid truck (at least my 2010 was). I did succumb and spend $125 for a battery at Costco for the Buick.

Had to get a sandwich. Soccer moms were taking note and not in an approving manner
