Hi Wrench Fetcher,This is why i enjoy this website so much,thanks for sharing a bit of your past with the old trucks and family.I guess it's a double plus with having the old vehicle's fixing them up a bit.Also it's seem's there is always a warm touching story behind each truck.For me i'm afraid i may have to wait till june-to august to put mine on the insurance for regular driving.However i live in the boondocks so i will be sneaking a few short drive's arround may.And i would be more than happy to let everyone now how the gear grinding goes.We pretty much borrowed for the old truck -the first year will be a bit tight but i would do it again. After the first year it will be on the road very regularly.As we get older the time goes by so fast waiting isn't a problem. Safe driving and thank's for sharing Chad :-)
