55 F350 out of storage

I got my 55 F350 out of storage today. Took along jumper cables and starter fluid... I didn't need them. I pulled the choke pumped the gas a few times, cranked it. It didn't start. Then cranked it again and he started. It will soon be lawn mowing season. It's good to have it home.


On the way home.



Home Sweet Home!

Thanks.

I wouldn't put those flowers in the ground up here yet. We still could get a frost. It's a beautiful day here now though.

I Know I asked you before.... But have you thought about coming to the PA Truckstock?

I've thought about Truckstop numerous times, Probably would be coming alone and probably in my Nissan Frontier. Maybe one of these years.

That's OK. You can ride shotgun with someone else when we go for drives. And I have a cabin with room for one more. Some guys have a yurt with more room.

But your truck would make it from Coatesville. Just go west on 322 to State College/Bellefonte. Then north on 150.
