I should get it next week. It's rusty and all but it does run. It will be my winter driver and possible spring time project.

Now the reason I said possible spring project is because........................................... .................................................. ..................more to come!!!!!!!

Okay you ready for the more to come??????

There is another truck there I would have loved to have. I said I sure would like that truck too. The fellow says well for xxx dollars more you can have it. I said I want both but don't have enough cash. Oh well. Then I says let me work to buy it. He says well I may have to think about that. I stopped in this afternoon to snap some pics and he says I thought about it and have some stuff you can do around here. Tuesday morning I go in to work for my new addition. Hopefully it works out.

Sorry. I felt the same way until yesterday afternoon. Now I'm grinning. It will be better once I actually get them home.

Nothing better than that new (old) toy feeling...

The 75 is now comfortably parked in the yard. Working to pay for the 66. It should have a home before snow flies.

You support Human trapping?

Got the bumper put on the 75 today. I also replaced one of the doughnuts where the manifold meets the pipe. Only half was there. No wonder I couldn't hear the leak on the other side at the same spot.

Zip: which engine do you have in the '75 4x4? I'm trying (unsuccessfully so far) to find one like that with the 300 six.

Zip · #13 (**permalink**) 10-28-2009, 11:21 AM

It has a 360. He has a few in the yard of that vintage but I don't know if any have the 6 and how many are actually driveable.

He thinks he has one but it is a project truck at this point. Not a driver.
