moparguy My trucks are all beater quality,OK to use em,now I try not to rough em up. I want my doors to close and latch. My wood hauler is an X milk can truck from the 50's with added leaf springs and dual rear wheels (original singles couldn't take the load) well it's a tuff wood truck and I use the babbitt 216 to get to the house. An important factor there is to not overev it,respect it's babbitt and it will last you a long time. My uncle loved to hear me going thru the 4-speed on the way home,our cocker spaniel loved to ride in that truck. Also my son at age 8 learned to drive a stick in it,he first understood that you can hurt people with your driving by throwing the dog and I into the dash a little.
