First Day Out
Had truck out for first time today. Nice weather, truck runs great. Even steers pretty good. Its been almost 40 years since i drove anything like this with no power brakes no power steering, air conditioning, cruise control. Sure was a lot of fun watchng everyone stare at you going down yhe road. Brigt red sure does stand out in the crowd.
There's a truck club in town here called the nostalgic haulers. Truck has to be 25 years or older to be in the club. They have about 38 member and 18 trucks. On the street i live on there are 4 old trucks and 3 or 4 old cars. Great area for classics and hot rods.

Een took my wife with me on first voyage. She was almost as happy as i was although she thinks i am a little crazy. My brother-in-law is building a 50 C---y. He will have his on the road aometime in may. Looks pretty good even though it is a you know what.
