	99% done with this…. So tonight I pose myself the question. Did I dodge a bullet on this truck that I had found for sale 250 miles from here? 1968 GMC C10 V8 Auto. Eyes wide open in case something crosses my path.

	Judging by the fact it has not been MOT'd, possibly, although it's difficult to tell without seeing it in person. Plus you've got a similarly aged one in bits.

Randomly looking for something else on my YOUTUBE Channel from 2019 and found this……… Of course those tyres were replaced with new ones and new wheels.

	WANTED: 2001 Chevy S10 Extended Cab bed cover, Mine died after 20 years. Vinyl, 3 piece hard folder or Canopy/Cap considered. Bed is essentially a 6 foot/1800mm by 5 foot/1500mm What have you got, and where are you situated please? PM me please. Parts order attempt no2 After failure to dispatch and eventually getting a refund, I ordered another carburettor. Courier delivered last night. Will get to it when I can to see if replacing the original on the HOPEMOBILE is as easy as 1-2-3 In the mean time George the cat I don’t have, seems to have cemented his residency here, even more firmly. Guess I may have a cat for Christmas, though he does disappear at times, presumably to his real home, if they let him in. There is no catflap, so he is reliant on his humans to let him come and go. Almost Christmas, looking forward to stopping work for a few days.

	Always worth asking in various places. Thanks to westbay for doing the research on cheap new action cameras. I am in the earliest stages of looking at creating a Youtube channel and Blog online. Up to now, all that I have ever used is my iPhone and 10 years ago, my digital camera for some short clips. I want to have a second, fixed mounted camera (that can be moved if needed) to record when not propping my iPhone up against a can of WD40 o stuck inside a roll of ducktape. Get the picture? There are cheap options…… www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313788361691?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=antp486wqai&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=SzuXc8Y2RPm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY But like so many toys, tools etc, sometimes we get bored or find better options and items (ask me about digital cameras, no only use my iPhone) So show/tell me what you have out there that I could possibly use to record part of my garage action on. PM Please. Maybe an improvement on this: Thank you.

	A random chat with Craig last night, led to him finding what we can only guess is a very old stock (only 1 in stock) original Extang Black Max bed cover for my truck. I had previously searched using various cross references and come up empty handed. He found one item online, for sale by JEGS in Ohio So a few questions on Facebook S10 groups to ascertain that the bed on my extended cab is is the same 6’ length as the “short bed” confirmed that the item for sale was indeed correct. The extended cabs have a longer wheelbase and slightly different positioning of the wheel,arches. Chevrolet S10 wheelbases Regular cab could get long bed or short bed. Extended cab only got the short bed. And crew cab got that tiny bed that was like 3 feet long Pickup 1st and 2nd Gen 108.3 in (2,751 mm) (reg. cab short bed) 117.9 in (2,995 mm) (reg. cab long bed) 122.9 in (3,122 mm) (ext. cab short bed) To say I was super stoked at finding this item thanks to craigrk is an understatement. This truck needs to continue to be looked after as it has been to date. So while we were chatting, we called our tame Chevy guy in St Louis, Missouri, ie. Dennis to check and confirm. Turns out they are having the storm of a lifetime with temperatures dropping all over America. I love technology. The three of us on a video chat. Just needed a few beers. And the weather outside Dennis’s shop had already turned for the worse, with Covid infected Debbie indoors, his isolation spot is the workshop. So this morning I placed my order for what may be the best find of my year, except for the free motorbike Sally found previously. And for those who zoom in and look at the details….. Yes, there is also importation duties and taxes, go do the maths, add another $38.80 or £33.74 to the item price, plus shipping and you see the price of a hobby more than double. Nearer 150% on top of the price. Looking at the price the item starts at and where it ends on your doorstep makes for crazy reading, and costs. Today is also my last day of work for the year. Time to wrap up 2022 from an admin point of view. It has been a hard and rough year for many of us. And it is the weekend……. Soon.

	This is one of those wonderful late 70s/early 80s oddities. I remember seeing these in the Observer's Book of Automobiles from around that era and thinking to myself "what an odd car!" Definitely one of the world's forgotten motors. From what I recall, they weren't that successful, but if I had the space, money and inclination, I would have one in a heartbeat!

	That's great luck and a fantastic bargain on the bed cover. Not wishing to drag you away from new projects (new projects are great BTW), but has the "project that must not be named" in the garage fallen out of favour or is it just waiting time/enthusiasm/parts (delete as appropriate).

	I seem to recall it was a good seller - they dropped production of other models to free up capacity to build 'em. A surprise hit that kept AMC going long enough to be bought by Chrylser. Used to see a surprising number on my visits to the US.

	Funny how Facebook brings memories from way back, back. Remembered this was published a long time ago. Now stored up as a kit truck, waiting for my finger to be plucked out. Also 12 years ago I came home with this…… Sachs MadAss and absolutely shall we say angered my ex wife beyond belief. For thise who know my back yard, it was so very different then, as was the garage. Remember the Scruffy Micra? Saw it this week. Along with the plaintive comment from 21 year old Kyle the driver…. “It makes a funny noise from the front” Later the day, having bought new front brake pads, it turned out one of the slider pins was seized, and somehow one pad did all the work on the drivers side. Passenger side, both pads were good. Servicing all the pins, more copper slip grease and the brakes were good. This little car continues to ride into the sunset, with the sun never quite setting on it. I want to also wish everyone of you clicking in here a Brilliant 2023 and may it exceed your expectations. Thanks for the friendships and support through 2022. Cheers.
