Or even when the tractor sinks into the mud. We still have corn here that never got harvested last fall because of the wet weather.

Saves the hassle of plowing & planting this year. What year is the truck there '68? '69? '70? Been watching Adam 12, they had an ambulance on one of them looked to be in that range ( ugly brown color ). * EDIT * Just looked at your signature, '67 project I'll bet. I was close.

Yep, 67. Actually, it's going to be a frankenstein truck. It now has a 67 frame, 68 cab, 69 bed1

Yep. I just want to build it the exact way I want it. It won't exactly be a daily driver, but it will get driven a lot, so it will have all of the goodies, air, cruise, tilt, etc. I like the doors on the 68 and up better, so went with those. Not sure what year of grill I'm going to put on it yet, need to figure out which one I like best.

I hate rusty things, I was just adjusting my dvrs side mirror on ol Blue and the tension band in side the mirror broke, just leaving it to flop around.

Glad I had a spare set of mirrors setting around so it was a easy fix. It will be nice to drive it around in town tomorrow for my bank and doc appt.

Come on 60 degrees, I'm loving it.

It's been bumped, don't know if an '81 would fit or not. Doubt if he could bring something that big back in the bus, company would probably get unhappy.
