Come on Dick, lets do it, it would be one heck of a show. Between your loud rumbling pipes and my smokey tires we'd have people running for the hills.

So if it followed you home, did you have to keep calling 'here truckee, here truckee?' 'cause that doesn't seem to work in my neck of the woods. Clearly, you live among domesticated truck stock. My compliments.

Happy Motoring!

Just wipe a little of that old gear oil on the back of your pants and they will follow you anywhere - Its just like tyeing a porkchop around your neck so the dog will play with you

We went for a ride today - Me 1 Truck 1 - I polished some gear ends in the Ol Crash Box - Steering box loose, slight wobble above 45, went over several railroad tracks and NO bumpsteer, brake pedal feels like a brick pushing on a 1/4 inch of oatmeal - We drew lots and lots of looks - Perpetual Smile.
The link it where I hung some pictures

The F-2 pictures by smedly_dunlap - Photobucket

The Truck ca,e with this set of swamper's - I remember seeing this Truck last year and it looked good - Don't know if I would have the arms to crank the wheel with these on


The other side with the regular tires

Dick,

That looks like an old Pontiac hood ornament?? If so does it light up like it supposed to?

Atta Boy!!

I had a 1949 Silver Streak with the fleetline body style....I swapped it off for my 49 F1. The guy gave me the F1 and $600 cash for the Pontiac. My Indian Chief hood ornament worked, it was a pretty cool car

Nice to see another 3/4 ton saved, instead of being turned into a Turdota, Nipsun, or the like.
