It's very rough though. My 75 will probably not be finished by winter and if it is I wont want to put it on winter roads. This would be next winters beater to start with.

That's an option Jack. I could end up with a lot of trucks if I get another one every couple years.

My 75 and my 66 are soon going to the wreckers. I'm going to work on my 75 there. I don't really have room in the yard and it would look like a dump if I did the work at home.

It is good you have a place to take them. I need to clean out my garage and carport so I can work on and shelter my vehicles.

It does make working on a vehicle easier if you don't have to travel to do it..

It would be nice to be able to do it at home. Having a shop would mean weather wouldn't be an issue either. The wrecker is close though. I can walk there in less than 10 minutes.
