I really didn't dislike that tube grill but I can't get my hands in to open the hood.

After being gone since 15APR, and last mowing the morning of, arrived Saturday around Supper time to find the grass around the Tennessee house was waist high. Took three solid days of mowing to get it down good, here's our old girl in the front yard just after I finished.

Thanks fellas.

Was ready to off it Tuesday when both the fuel filter at the carb started spraying gas in the morning and then the starter shorted out internally and gave me a pretty good smoke show that afternoon.

Gotta love it...

Thanks, Gents.

Heading back to Connecticut tonight, just finished putting the old girl back in the shed.

Man, it sure is hard to leave this place for Connecticut. Every dang time.

Thanks, 'lafer

I see Darlington (SC?) as your 20, that's where I bought this truck from over Superbowl weekend. Story goes guy bought it in New Mexico a year ago and brought it back to Darlington for a quickie clean and showed it... a lot.

'Ax and 'Monkey, dang those are some clean trucks!

Here is how she sits today (in the shop) waiting on parts since the instrument cluster crumbled when removing it to replace a speedo cable.
