20 years waiting



I have been eyeballing this old truck for 20 years and it finally came home this past Saturday. Has been sitting for 30 years or more. Last titled in 1991. Hot battery, some penetrating spray in thw cylinders and it turned over and hit on starter fluid after cleaning the points ups. We named him Eddie.

Welcome aboard and congratulations of finally getting it. That's a long time to wait but I'll bet it will be worth it, they don't make them like that any more.
