Thank you John for the suggestion of hanging flaps in front of the rears. A very good idea which I will most likely use. I was pretty bummed out when I saw the mud on the cab after a mulch delivery after a rain. I drive a lot of dirt roads and that problem will get nothing but worse.
Thanks again for the tip.

Louie

Never thought I'd be posting in this thread but I actually used Betsy this morning to do some work. Of course now I have even more work to do fixing the planter and the sprinkler lines I broke.

But that tree is out.

Pictures of my truck doing what a truck should do.

Here is a picture of my 1955 hauling a new garage door home.



Another one hauling some 2x4 and sheetrock home for a project.

I love theses trucks. The COE above it even more but my virus wont let me post more than one at a time. Wish I knew how to reinstall my OS back to new. Wish I had got the Os with it. Somehow on line but I can't find any reference to it on my system. But that is for another thread.

Thanks Ben!

It is nice to be driving it this summer before tearing it apart again to finish body work and final paint. It is fun when you get comments at Lowes or Home Depot when you are loading it up with material for some project.

I have always liked the look of the Keystone Classic's. Needless to say when I found a set on CL that fit my truck for a good price I was stoked. I like the way the look and it saved me a lot of money over new wheels.
