I'm new here..I live in upstate NY.
I bought a 51 3/4 ton from a friend in California. It's got a nice 235 w/ an S10 transmission. Drives out real nice. Truck is in primer & decent shape otherwise...a driver.

My son & I leave on Jan 3rd to fly out & pickup the truck. We're just going to be vagabonds (sp?) for 12 days. Driving where the good weather takes us. If it's rainy, we'll head for AZ. I look forward to having this special time with him & for bonding with the truck. When we're done, we're leaving the truck with my friend with plans to return in May to drive her cross country to New York.

Wish us luck!

If I get a chance, I'll post updates.
