Young Ed Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 After a long winters nap I got my truck out of storage today. Hooked the battery back up and hit the gas 4-5 times and turned it over. Pumped about that many times again and she was running. Quote
1940plymouth Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 pictures my friend, pictures!!!!!!! Glad you got the truck going again:) Quote
John Mulders Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 really want to see pictures of Young Ed pumping the gas pedal? John Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 a picture may paint a thousand words but in this case I will trust Ed to tell the truth.... Quote
Young Ed Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Posted April 5, 2011 I didn't post a picture as it looks the same as it did when I put it away And actually I didn't even drive it home. I was driving Dads 51 ply convert while one of my friends drove my pickup and Dads neighbor drove the 66 wagon home. So we got lots of toys out of storage today. Quote
Young Ed Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Posted April 5, 2011 yah, where are the pictures? Mark you'll be seeing it in person sometime soon. Quote
BeBop138 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 She be ready for Hastings---yahooo!!! Quote
Young Ed Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Posted April 5, 2011 She be ready for Hastings---yahooo!!! I think the more important question is-is hastings ready for us? Quote
Paul Hoffmeyer Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Glad you got your pickup back. The longest non-use of mine was the first two weeks of February when we were in Australia. Got over 3500 miles on it already. New window channels and insulation in the doors, etc. Ready for Hastings, N. St Paul, and maybe Mopars in the Park. Paul H Quote
Young Ed Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Posted April 6, 2011 Paul I believe thats about equal to how many miles I've put on mine since I got it almost 11 years ago. Quote
daddyo23 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 I don't know about Hastings but I'm planning on Mopars in the park. Quote
BeBop138 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 I don't know about Hastings but I'm planning on Mopars in the park. Whats the date on that? Maybe a few of us could meet that day.............Lee Quote
Eneto-55 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 They say that's what happens if you play country music backwards. You get your truck back, your dog comes back to life, and your momma gets out of jail. Quote
daddyo23 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Whats the date on that? Maybe a few of us could meet that day.............Lee June 4-5, I believe. I may make it to a Hastings ride too as I see they have them on Saturday. For some reason I thought that was a Friday event:confused: Quote
Young Ed Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Posted April 6, 2011 June 4-5, I believe. I may make it to a Hastings ride too as I see they have them on Saturday. For some reason I thought that was a Friday event:confused: May-June will be busy for me as we are plumbing the cabin. But I could try and make it. I've talked about going the last 2-3 summers and it seems to be a nasty rainy weekend everytime. Hastings is every other saturday night all summer long. Its a great time. Quote
Dennis_MN Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 My neighbor said that it must be spring, Dennis brought his truck home Quote
Young Ed Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Looks like you stored yours in the fairgrounds also? Mine was in the home improvement building this year. Just noticed all the green grass and trees in this photo. Obviously it wasn't taken this year. Edited April 6, 2011 by Young Ed Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Guess i´m really spoiled by getting to keep the one car I have in the attached garage at home. I can go out and look at it and start it occasionally. Next thing is going to be replacing the carb as the present one seems to have a crack in the housing. Bought a couple used ones a few days ago from an area old parts dealer that willl need rebuilding. Quote
aero3113 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 My neighbor said that it must be spring, Dennis brought his truck home I got that from my neighbor also when I had my car in the driveway and out of the garage for the first time this year. Quote

Mine was in the home improvement building this year.Just noticed all the green grass and trees in this photo. Obviously it wasn't taken this year. Nope, I stored it in my neighbors barn and she fired right up. Photo was taken a year or so ago for a collection of states that Bob Koch wanted for a calendar, guess I was the only one with a state theme. By the way, Mopars in the Park is June 4-5 and new this year is a car auction. details at www.midwestmopars.com http://www.midwestmopars.com/ Quote
