Smile it moves !!!!

Finally hit the milestone of taking the ole truck for a short drive ( hooray). I didn't go far but it moves . It's been awhile since I have had a v8 , man it doesn't take much to get the rear tires to break lose lol. Can anyone tell me how to get some of the photos I've taken posted ?

Congrats on your first ride. The truck looks very solid. i.e. not your standard old Vt. truck!

Yeah , the ole truck was pretty solid to start with .It was brought back here from south dakota about 10 yrs ago . I know the guy that brought it back , he was the mechanic for the hemmings motor news vintage autos . He sold it to a bodyman and it passed between several owners that had dreams of building it but never did much to it . Hey Vern ,it won't be long and the carshows start again . Man I can't wait it has been a long winter.
