Getting ready
Getting the C 10 ready for the 2019 Hot Rod Power Tour last week & this week. Last week exhaust fixed two hangers where broke off. Oil & filter, greased everything good, washed waxed along with new rear air bags installed. Checked all the fluid levels again cleaned the interior good and treated the leather. Fixed the cruise control and got the rear disc brakes working better than ever before.
Yesterday had it at the front end alignment shop and today had 2 new front tires installed. Front's looked if'y! Started packing it this afternoon. 2- 2.5 ton floor jacks & stands wood to place under them and rubber mat to lay on if needed. My tool box with everything I could fit in it and more. Voltmeter, test light, timing light, rags towels for cleaning, water, antifreeze, cooler with drinks and plenty of water to drink, 10x10 tent with chairs. 100's of electrical connector's of all sizes, hammers, wheel puller tube flaring tool you name it I got it!

Re: Getting ready
sounds like you've covered all the bases! I'd love to do a leg or long haul the entire thing one day.

Re: Getting ready
Quite the lineup of board members to cruise with.
 Have to say I'm more than a bit jealous of you Andy! I'm hoping to make it for at least a few legs of the trip in 2020, in my 72, if all goes to plan.Brian

I'm hoping we can all get together on the tour and run together are at least be some what together. It's hard trying to keep a big group together on this kind of trip. I'm also hoping we can do a photo shot with all the trucks one day. Pictures will be forth coming but may take a bit before I can post them here. My face book page https://www.facebook.com/C10Tour/?ref=your_pages will have live feeds and the most up to date pictures as the week goes by.

Re: Getting ready
Well it looks like I will have a co-pilot riding with me. My friend from Covington LA isn't going to drive his car so he is riding with me. This should be fun. I'll have a navigator and a photo shooter!

You can help others out as well. That's the cool part.

Re: Getting ready
I'm in the hotel in Concord, made it to North Carolina this afternoon. Hopefully the rain will stop since it's been raining here just about all day.
Andy, this is what I'm driving.
