Dear Jane – Well thank you for your comments 
— It has indeed been an interesting trip. I have been trying to load photos from the road but seems my little digital camera is acting up — I should have that resolved soon.
I have tried taking the back roads as much as possible. as I meandered across Ohio then into Michigan and stopping off at the annual Art Fair in Ann Arbor. There I met with my sister who provided me with a hotel room – the shower was wonderful.
The heat in the truck is always on – so to speak. The hoses for the cooling system go through the firewall to the mounted heater in the cab. There is no by-pass and although I could install one simply, It has been recommended by several old timers that I do not do so as it is an important part of the cooling system. The cowl vent and tilt out windshield help to provide a relatively cool air flow. After several hours in the truck you tend to end up smelling like the truck. There is a faint smell of oil and grease on the passenger or driver. So be it – It is what it is. But damn, that shower felt great.
