I have been off the radar for a while out in OK with very little contact with the outside world. Got a lot of good stuff to post up.

Look what I dragged home. Wasn't in a barn but it was next to one.

A 66 chevy 3/4 ton 8ft bed 327 automatic power steering and power brakes and factory a/c first year for that in a PU.

23,600 original miles. Starts runs stops. Solid Untouched accept for the exhaust. Been drivin it around all day I love it.

12969

Got a little snotty south of St Louis Sunday morn early heading home.

12970

Anybody can haul on a good day this stuff requires attention behind the wheel

Joe, great find! I have a 67 long wide with a 327 with positrac rear end. It has just over 600 miles since restoration. Old cars and trucks are also my hobby. Are you planning on restoring it or driving it as is? My favorite in my stable is a 1951 Ford F1 that I have spent the last 2 years working on. Keeps me out of the wife's way.

I don't know what im going to do with it. It has weathered wonderfully for now im just gonna drive it and see where it takes me. It runs away from the rest of traffic off the red lights with just a piece of gas pedal. Lots of people r now wanting to talk to me and I like that. Im a very lonely guy.

Pete throw up some pictures of that. Same guy who had this had a 34 Ford PU with chevy running gear pearl white and beautiful.

How can you not love classic trucks. My most unusual truck was a 1950 Studebaker, top chopped, Buick nailhead powered, Jaguar running gear.

Joe, nice truck,

Gil, that is an awesome looking Stude. How could you possibly part with that? As soon as I learn how to post a picture, I will post some of mine.

Gil,

You must have kept Durlene busy on shining that engine. That is truly clean enough to eat off of.
