Rodney_Hamon Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 Well I had a hailstorm that was destructive to my property so to get me out of my depression with this place I drove the truck on the property for its first time. 1986 was the last time it started easy and ran good and had brakes. I was so excited I ran out of gas shortly after backing it out of the garage. Looks like the tank needs at least 3 gallons on my hilly property. Ha. I forgot to look at the gauges as well I was so distracted. Jeez. I was more worried backing up with a droopy side view mirror. My neck is a little stiff rubbernecking out the door and looking at that mini rear view mirror and rear glass. Still things that need adjusting like the emergency brake and bench seat etc. A lot of paint touch ups needed. Was a little concerned I had bought wrong tires but they turned easy and there was no rubbing. They are Michelin’s truck tires P75 215’s. I asked for a harder tire and as skinny as it could go on the D-30 rims. I didn’t want bias ply. I like the stance. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Harrison Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 Here is a couple of picks of a truck owned by a local body man I thought you would enjoy. Across the street from this location recently in an overgrown lot they recently pulled a 1920's Packard out of the brush. Amazing after all these years.

Rodney_Hamon Posted June 25 Author Report Share Posted June 25 Ohhh I did enjoy seeing pix’s of that truck. Have always liked blue. Stunning details. You wonder if there’s a little extra horse power of some kind under the bonnet. Thanks everyone for kind words. Next time I pull it out of garage I’ll take more pix’s. I should put my wiper blade and old license plate on. Yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
